Do you have any ancient contemporary reference to prove that ancient Greeks get sunburn?

Greece is at the same latitude as Central Asia and Spain so the sunlight intensity is similar

False, Greece is surrounded by water and mountains which would affect the amount of sunlight they get. Central Asia is not a country, it's a vast region bigger then the United states, when you include Northern Afghanistan, Central Russia, Northern Iran, Western China, the Black Sea area etc etc.
That region of the world does not have the same sunlight levels as Greece SORRY!
And that Tan quote is made up, all the evidence shows the Ancient Greeks were a brown and black people!

in the English language black can also mean white or pale
black (adj.) Look up black at Dictionary.com Old English blęc "dark," from Proto-Germanic *blakaz "burned" (cognates: Old Norse blakkr "dark," Old High German blah "black," Swedish bläck "ink," Dutch blaken "to burn"), from PIE *bhleg- "to burn, gleam, shine, flash" (cognates: Greek phlegein "to burn, scorch," Latin flagrare "to blaze, glow, burn"), from root *bhel- (1) "to shine, flash, burn;" see bleach (v.).
The same root produced Old English blac "bright, shining, glittering, pale;" the connecting notions being, perhaps, "fire" (bright) and "burned" (dark). The usual Old English word for "black" was sweart (see swart). According to OED: "In ME. it is often doubtful whether blac, blak, blake, means 'black, dark,' or 'pale, colourless, wan, livid.' " Used of dark-skinned people in Old English.
bleach (v.) Look up bleach at Dictionary.com Old English blęcan "bleach, whiten," from Proto-Germanic *blaikjan "to make white" (cognates: Old Saxon blek, Old Norse bleikr, Dutch bleek, Old High German bleih, German bleich "pale;" Old Norse bleikja, Dutch bleken, German bleichen "to bleach"), from PIE root *bhel- (1) "to shine, flash, burn" (cognates: Sanskrit bhrajate "shines;" Greek phlegein "to burn;" Latin flamma "flame," fulmen "lightning," fulgere "to shine, flash," flagrare "to burn;" Old Church Slavonic belu "white;" Lithuanian balnas "pale").
The same root probably produced black; perhaps because both black and white are colorless, or because both are associated with burning. Compare Old English scimian, related to the source of shine (n.), meaning both "to shine" and "to dim, grow dusky, grow dark." Related: Bleached; bleaching.
ancient Greek word Melas never meant bright or white

I assume you all understand that the degenerate lying Albino lioness, is trying to fool you by superimposing a real and legitimate quote from Macky's Memoirs onto a "FAKE White" portrait of Charles Lennox.
Ordinarily when posters do things like that, they are banned from the forum.

. questioner - You are starting to get on my nerves. I do NOT like purposeful stupidity, such as lioness uses and which now YOU are starting to exhibit.
But in the interest of peace, I will assume that you really are stupid:
In which case I will point out that Charles is CLEARLY described as having a "BLACK COMPLEXION" not a "Black countenance," or a "Black disposition", which would make the term open to interpretation.
No, it is "BLACK COMPLEXION":
Now in the interest of making it understandable for even the stupidest SOB, I will supply a definition for "COMPLEXION".
Websters:
Simple Definition of complexion
: the color or appearance of the skin especially on the face
Now I will supply an example of the color BLACK:
THIS IS THE COLOR BLACK.
. I hope I have thoroughly answered your question.
