Exactly, bro. Tan, in and of itself, isn't a real problem, for me. Yes, I prefer pale chicks, but I don't mind folks who tan reasonably. And, that's the operative word there, "reasonably." Folks who tan themselves to the level they look like burnt toast only send one message to my brain: "Future oncology patient."
Also, my eldest cousin tans...or, at least, he tries to. He forgets that a large part of his bloodline is Irish, and by and large, we don't tan worth a shit, we just burn like an over-buttered English muffin in a toaster. As you can imagine, he comes out looking less like a good cup of coffee, and more like he's accidentally splashed ketchup all over himself. Actually...that's kinda funny, now that I think about it. Mostly because he's a monstrous human being without a conscience, and imagining him ending up looking like a complete, utter ass is quite entertaining.
