Shouldn't it be pink or peach people?
Why are European called white when they have pink skin?

And why are african americans called black when most of them have high European gene percentages ?

You just touched on a great truth - it has never been about skin colour.

What are we, Flamingos? I don't think I've ever seen a pink white person.

I'm white and my skin's not pink. I'd say I'm off white in colour, and during sunnier months I go various shades of brown.

Maybe that's why I had a difficult time seeing white people in the movie Barbie.

Just a small handful of Europeans look like pink baby mice, but I would say most of them are more of a pale beige.

Would talking to a pink European be any different than talking to a normal European?

I think it's because movies were originally only in black and white, so that was applied to people as well.
