If you said that to a white person, even jokingly, they might be insulted (unless they have a good sense of humour, like Conan O'Brien made up "Pale Force" making fun of himself, a super white superhero who blinds his enemies by shooting rays of white light out his nipples ). Pale people are usually the butt of jokes among whites. I used to make fun of them when I was a kid, now I don't because it is kind of mean if you think about it, it's not like they can help it, DNA made them that way. Plus, Anderson Cooper is white as fuck and he's hot.
