why is this guy so white?

no offense but sometimes i couldn't stop myself laughing when i watch him with a mic talking trash to other wrestlers or while having a match. peace.:lol:

He has red hair and fair skin. It is very hard for him to tan.

I see no reason to laugh here.

Isn't he Irish? lol

What's wrong with being white? :?

Omg, you can't just ask why people are white!

Although yeah, considering his background, it makes sense.

[spoiler] Not really expecting anyone here to get that reference... :P [/spoiler]

He is probably Irish, has very white skin and red hair because of this. Not to mention, if you photograph someone who has this fair of complexion, on a white background, you will "blow out" their skin color and it looks even whiter. Throw in some horrendously green speedos and there you go! A snowman!

Because he lacks black!?... but seriously, I'm sure it has to do with him being Irish..lbjkurono23

..."lacks black"?

Porcelain and proud - white is the new tan don't you know? Besides skin with less exposure to the sun is more likely to age better I would say...

Red hair...fair skin....you got yourself an Irishman.

But... TC, I don't know what to say to that. :?

He just looks like a pants-less redneck to me.XilePrincess

I wonder how well he would fare (no pun intended) in equatorial Africa.

[QUOTE="Deihjan"] In my experience, the Scots aren't as pale as the Irish or the northern Englishmen. Trufact. Or maybe my love of the Scots and their Irn Bru has made me blind? :3ayanami_rei

With skin that glitters under sunlight?

How long do you think it would take for the burning to start? Also, do you think it could eventually kill him? If so, how long would it take for him to die?

but yea, I feel slightly disturb after seeing that pic. why couldnt he be wearing any pants?

:x Do not make fun of the Irish skin! It does NOT glitter! :cry: If anything, in direct sunlight, it burns the eyes as it burns to a crisp. *Always has trouble staring at skin without eyes burning, let alone the skin.* Seriously. :( I was out in the car when I went to fill something out and waited for my dad to come back. The whole time, my skin felt like it was burning and becoming really hot from the sun. D: I didn't burn, thank goodness, but it was just so warm, I wanted shade.ayanami_rei

Just be glad that you don't live in Arizona. We have intense direct sunlight 364 days a year out of 365 days. It messes up my skin too, can't be out too long without sunscreen

Are there Black people out there? If so, how well do they fare in the sun?

I'm not entirely sure. From the few black folks I know they seem to be fine with it. I'm always trying to walk under the shade whenever I'm out in the sunlight, heat is just unbearable around this part of town, could be as high as in the 120's

I know that. I'm just asking for a first hand recollection of its efficiency in sunlight. Also, dark skin burns less relative to light skin. So, it may still have its problems in the sun.

I already know about melanin. Melanin is a substance in the skin which blocks ultraviolet rays from the Sun. The greater the concentration of melanin, the darker the skin and the more efficiently it can block UV rays. I also know that when someone who can tan is exposed to the sun, their skin will produce more melanin, in order to more effectively block the UV rays. The downside to having more melanin (i.e. darker skin) is that the body absorbs less sunlight, which it needs to produce vitamin D; the less sunlight one can absorb, the less their skin can produce vitamin D (which is necessary for strong bones). However, in tropical environments, darker skin people tend to have access to vitamin D rich foods, which compensates for their lower efficiency in producing vitamin D. On the other hand, fair skin is advantageous in colder environments with little sunlight. The reason is because the lighter skin is more efficient at producing Vitamin D with the little sunlight that's available. A darker person wouldn't be able to produce Vitamin D as efficiently since their dark skin would block the little sun light that's available. They'd have to rely on vitamin rich D foods, which may not be so plentiful in such an environment.

He has fair skin. Annnnd? :?

He's irish, nuff' said.

Seriously.

ditto

why people gotta be hating on people for the smallest reasons? Youre holding humanity back if you do.

The guy has really white skin, sure, but he is also a near-perfect picture of health and strength

this would be my answer

He's Irish. All Irish people are Albino.

Omg, you can't just ask why people are white!
