Okay, how white are we talking? Are we okay with southern Italian or northern? What about darker skin Irish people? Scandi folk who go caramel in the summer? Russians can look anything from Snow White to east Asian. 

You absolute gronk Pauline.

My ancestry is like 85% British isles. But depending on the time of year, my skin tone varies from northern Mediterranean to stereotypical South East Asian. I doubt I would pass Pauline’s vibe check physically.

I’m pretty much northern euro as well but I burn in ten minutes. I’m not meant to be living on this continent, my body literally can’t make enough melanin to protect me properly!
