The conversation between human and AI assistant.
Why are white people NOT white? I see that they are yellow, pink, red, orange and brown. Hence, why are they called white?
That's interesting. But why are people of different races different colors in the first place?
Human skin color is determined by a pigment called melanin. Melanin is produced by melanocytes, which are cells located in the skin. The amount and type of melanin produced by these cells determines a person's skin color. People with more melanin in their skin have a darker skin color, while people with less have a lighter skin color.
