Persians have a lot of facial hair. Colin Powell is more fair skinned than many people who are considered white (especially Italian/ Mediterrenean types).
He probably has more White blood in him than Black, but because of the one drop rule he is considered Black. Although in his caribbean country he is high caste.

no white doesnt mean more attractive automatically. i didnt say that either.
the undercurrent (both in india and the west) is such that western features and white/fair skin is considered the thing to have.
and colin powel IS dark, and is of black lineage - he is from Puetro Rico.
and i never said that i personally prefer white skin. to me the best complexion is that of persians. glowing olive.
