““Hooray for whitehood! Could do without the sunburn, mind. It’s hard to get the balance right. I only have to gaze at a blank sheet of A4 to start sizzling, but if I avoid sunshine completely I wind up looking ashen and sickly. Little wonder there’s a multi-million-dollar industry creating creams and lotions for us to smear all over our superior white skin in a desperate bid to protect it from the sky, and another multi-million-dollar industry devoted to turning our superior white skin brown so it looks better. Despite these drawbacks – and its propensity for showing up pimples and ageing quickly and going wrinkly – there’s no doubt that white skin is the best, in the same way green Smarties are the best. Simple logic.””
