Agreed. Whiteness is beneath notice, so obviously all description must be about un-whiteness.

Heh... busted~!

I've found that, when I ask someone to do art for me, for like a fic or a game or something, I tend to explicitly mention descriptive skin tones. I take the time to say "Skin Tone: Pale Pink," "Skin Tone: Ruddy Pink" and the like. This is partially because I find that doing so to describe a white guy is absolutely unneeded, which I find a little creepy. Partially because "White Guy" could be any number of skin tones. (Sigh.)
