Honestly I don't think you are really that dark at all.

ok but in austria im considered dark skinned it was enough to call me "nigger" in school and paint me as negroe with black skin to provoke me and make fun of my dark features. i hope it wont influence the thread now that i said it, as in they considered me dark the southern euros must now too. i hope it will stay objective and fair.

In the Caucasus, the Russians call them "black asses" yet they are not any whiter than you... The Austrians are just too light then... If someone is born very very white, doesn't mean that all the rest are black and can be called "niggers"...

You are not dark. Maybe compared to Celts and Nordics yes, but overall you don't have a dark look to me. A while ago I saw pictures of you with pinkish cheeks and looked sort of pale.

Do you go out into the sun often at all? Or did you ever tan?

probably it has also to do with the dark hair and very dark eyes. and features in combination with a hairy look. i was first among my peers to grow a slight mustache and body hair (legs, arms) and was teased for that (monkey etc.)

Well maybe pale wasn't the best way to describe your complexion but it must have been during winter because you were wearing long sleeve shirts in the pictures I remember.
