Hey, Douglas,

There was mention earlier on the list of the Bedoin and Blue People of
the Desert in Africa and the Middle East. While they were EXTREMELY dark
where constantly exposed to the sun, when they got on their camels or
horses and their robes rode up, you could see in one picture (in
National Geographic) where they were just as white as could be where
they were protected from the sun on the upper thighs.
