Have you seen the commercials for the Al Roker NBC special on America's Ethnic Skin? Being as etymologically inquisitive as I am, I wanted to see how they intended to make use of the word "Ethnic" with respect the this so called "Ethnic Skin." Two quotes on articles related to the show shed some light on the direct they might be taking.
"By the year 2050, one-half of the American people will have ethnic skin."
"Melanin-rich skin has unique attributes and special concerns that are best addressed under the medical advice of a dermatologist who is well-experienced in treating ethnic skin,"
Once again white people, you have no ethnicity!
