@Nightlilygirl- I am not a ginger but have decently pale skin. I got sunburned a couple of years ago while spending an hour outside. From that point on I was called Tomato for a week. This is at age 30, so yes.
@Topweasel pffft, that sounds rough haha, thanks for sharing! @Kaios mm, could be, that would make more sense after all... kinda like how dying your hair makes you a delinquent I guess
@Toddsama it also has to do with a (dumb) cultural preference for fair, pale skin as historically the only people who tanned were the folks who worked in the fields.
