I voted no, but I should change it to yes. I'd wanna be black so I can get away with saying racist stuff.

Seems you don't need to be black to do that.

No, I would not want to change my skin color. I feel fortunate that I'm white. I would change my name so people who don't know me don't assume I'm Mexican. (no offense to Mexicans, but they aren't very popular here)

I would "tweak" my skin color, but nothing a dosage of sun couldn't fix. Been too busy recently, though...

As a 50% English, 25% German, 25% French man with very dark skin I'm quite happy the way I am, I wouldn't mind being a bit more French though.

No, I am brown and like how I have come to understand the world.

But I would definitely like to have the genes that keep a$$ and back hair from growing like weeds.

Don't worry it will happen in your next incarnation ;)

I am quite happy to be the skin color I am except I go from pale to burnt faster than a hooker goes from leaning in to kneeling down err ... am I typing out loud again?
