In Liberia, the Black American settlers were labeled as "white" by the indigenous peoples, who were in turn labeled as "bush n***ers" by the settlers. Which I guess means that the spectrum of "white skin" runs in fact from pale to dark depending on the exact context.

Wow, who knew that race was a bunch of socially constructed BS?
