White is a color, the perception which is evoked by light that stimulates all three types of color sensitive cone cells in the human eye in nearly equal amounts and with high brightness compared to the surroundings. A white visual stimulation will be void of hue and grayness.

White light can be generated in many ways. The sun is such a source, electric incandescence is another. Modern light sources are fluorescent lamps and light-emitting diodes. An object that does not alter the color of light reflected from its surface will appear white, compared to the surroundings, unless it has very high specular reflection.

Since white objects such as clouds, snow and flowers appear often in nature, human culture has many references to white, often related to purity and cleanness. The high contrast between white and black is used to represent opposites. In the Chinese culture, white is considered to be a color that represents death.

Why are white women defined as being generally the most beautiful?
Q. The whole stereotype that White men are into Asian women is false. My sister is attracted to white guys but they're never attracted to her. All the guys she has ever been into have been into White women who are blonde or brunette, blue or green eyed, and are at least 5'5. Why is that?

A. When you grow up in a society where that is all you see as being displayed as most beautiful in the media like movies, magazines, tv shows, etc, are white women, you tend to think of them as how they are presented in the media, as most beautiful. The same is applied to places like China. Although many Americanized asian men desire white women, most Chinese men who live in China desire Chinese women, mostly because those women are what is most shown in the media as most sexually desired. Go to Africa, same thing, only it's all about black women. Depending on the country you go, that country parades what race is most in power and most common. If this wasn't true then most Korean men would desire Guatemalan women, and not Korean women. … [cont.]

A. Rit Dye Company has several products that will help you. In addition to the many colors of fabric dyes, they also carry a color remover, rust remover for fabric, stain remover and whitener. I found out about these years ago when expecting my second child. I had lots of baby clothes from my oldest and was given others that had set in stains. Also (the dark ages of CLOTH diapers) all of the diapers were dingy and yellowed from storage. A friend told me about these products and they worked! Everything came out almost like new without fading the colors on the prints. I still add a box of the whitener to our family's white clothes occasionally to brighten them up. Works just as good now as twenty-five years ago. You can find them in… [cont.]
