Speaking of vampires, there is a disease which I think is called the "Vampire Disease", which damages your inner organs and skin if you stay in the sun too long. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah its real. Don't know why you got downvotes.

When I was born the doctors were convinced that my mother had cheated on my father (both of them are very white) because I looked Hispanic due to having dark hair and very dark skin. They wouldn't let it rest and I think it hurts my dad to this day that they were so deadest to prove he wasn't the father. But, 19 years later, I'm as pale as snow and those doctors know where to shove it.

When I was born, my dad thought my mom had cheated on him because I was slightly redish purple because of, well… just being born.

I know a white couple who adopted a black baby. Once, the mother was walking her in a pram with a blanket draped over it to keep the sun off, just the baby's feet were sticking out. Someone commented that her baby was very tan lol.

I have Lupus, which makes me even more sun sensitive, but I'm also of Scottish ancestry. Our types are designed for standing on windswept moors in the pouring rain, not for lying out on a beach in the blazing sun and getting lobstered.

Agreed. Irish decent, red hair, freckles. ..the works. And I have depression so the doc told me to get at least thirty minutes of Sun a day. Medicine says no prolonged sun exposure (specifically ten minutes or more.) I burn in five just waiting at the bus stop. It completely stinks! !!

Try taking vitamin D supplements - that might help. If it's Seasonal Affective Disorder just being outside in the shade during summer months can help. My Mom's best friend has that, she has a special lamp she has to use in the wintertime.

Super pale porcelaine skin here and proud of it. I don't burn, I think I'm so pale I just reflect the sun straight back. Almost like a super power.
