How Pale is Sheamus, anyways?

[JenovasWitness]

I just saw the pics posted on WWE.com and I was nearly blinded by this dude's skin. I thought one of the requisites for being a major superstar in the WWE was to have a look akin to casted bronze?

I'm pretty sure we call that "Irish". I'm part Irish, and am just as pale/pasty.

And I'm sure round these here parts we call it 'racist'

 

[The Dewbliners]

I'd say he's more allibaster (sp?), if anything. I mean outside of that, maybe transluscent?

You miss ONE tanning session with the rest of the Roster.. and you get a hate thread. Shameful.

 

[Lee]

Did Ted take his spot again?

 

[Loveless]

It's an Irish tan and at least it makes his hair stand out.

The pale skin isn't relating to him being Irish. It's because he's ginger. Put him in the sun and he'll burn.

 

[The Hiphopapotamus]

I'm Irish and I still think he is really pale.Probably just because he's ginger though.Gingers don't tan.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

They do, just badly.

 

[My$terio_Fan]

Spray tan would do him wonders

 

[Coco]

Well a lot of the time John Cena isn't the most tanned guy in the world either. WM24 was quite a dramatic sight and revealed a lot about his whiteness.

That said, we should all be thrilled that Sheamus is here to break down barriers for Bryan Danielson.

*waits for someone to say this topic isn't as racist as Shelton's promo on ECW last night*

 

[The Bearded One]

Finally, there's somebody paler than me!

Racist...? I mentioned nothing about his ethnicity or of him being inferior in any way due to his skin colour. I just noted, in a joking fashion, that the dude is very white. As am I for that matter.
