[QUOTE]Originally posted by IronLion: [QB] The Red Pink Cagots: [QUOTE]Originally posted by cassiterides: [qb] Haemoglobin does not appear under dark skin, only light skin types. Hence why the peoples of Europe have been called ruddy or red for centuries. Only fair white skin can be sunburnt red as well, dark does not turn red. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redlegs ''Redlegs was a term used to refer to the class of poor whites that lived on colonial Barbados, St. Vincent, Grenada and a few other Caribbean islands...[b]According to folk etymology, the name is derived from the effects of the tropical sun on their fair-skinned legs.[/b] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redneck ''Originally used in reference to poor, white farmers, Redneck is historically a derogatory slang term to refer to working class Southerners in the United States...[b]probably derived from individuals having a red neck caused by working outdoors in the sun[/b]. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruddy '' pinkish tone of ruddy called ruddy pink is often referred to simply as ruddy when [b]describing the colour of the cheeks of some Caucasians[/b] [/qb][/QUOTE]Were the Greeks Pinks? Did they describe themselves as pink face, red necks, or red legs, the way cagots described themselves? Awaiting response... [/QB][/QUOTE]
