This.
My mother is 100% Italian. My great-grandparents literally came over on the boat and got married here. But she is whiter (skin shade wise) that anyone I know. So am I and my sister.
Her brother and his kids are all very dark skinned.
None of that has anything to do with what I like about my Italian heritage or any pride I derive from it.
Your skin color is a fluke of nature and DNA.

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
