This reminds me of a client I had in Atlanta years ago. We were at a company function and he stared and stared. I mean, Italians stare, so I have a high tolerance for it, but this was downright rude. I just up and asked him why he was staring. He told me he'd never known a white person who looked like me. Then I introduced my husband and he was stunned into silence for a while.:grin: After being treated to a full on court press of charm and business acumen he offered him a job. I told my husband if he took it I'd divorce him. There was no freaking way I was going to live in Georgia. Are you kidding me? Besides everything else, I would have had to copy my cousin, who married a guy who had to do his medical residency in Nebraska! Instead of flying she would drive a big station wagon back and forth and fill it up with olive oil, canned Marzano tomatoes, you name it. No thank you. It smelled like an Italian deli in there.
As to the tanning thing, I do believe that a lot of southern Europeans have the mutation(s) that allows you to tan even if your normal skin color is a pale olive.

Unfortunately, I didn't get that gene.
