I ask to forbid the user 67.169.167.141 to modify arguments in Human Skin Color: sources 52 says that East Asians belong to Phototype IV, not to Phototype II and to Phototype III as the user wrote. Thanks for attention.

I have marked the allocation of "East Asian" to Phototype IV as dubious for the following reasons:
East Asians (Chinese, Korean, Japanese) IV South East Asians (Thai, Vietnamese) IV Austronesians (Filipino, Polynesian) IV
East Asians (Chinese, Korean Japanese) 12-14 = III South East Asians (Thai, Vietnamese) 15-23 = III-V Austronesians (Filipino, Polynesian) 18-23 = IV-V
As it is primarily concerned with dermatological healing traits as opposed to skin colour, and as it is inconsistent with other sources that are primarily concerned with skin colour (eg Jablonksi's research and the von Luschan scale) I don't think Reference 52 can be taken as a reliable source for this article. I suggest we either remove the "East Asian" reference entirely, or add a number of "Asian" groupings under the range of Phototypes given by Jablonski and the von Luschan scale (III-V).

Fitzpatrick scale doesn't show skin colors, but only the behaviour of a certain skin in sun exposure. So, east-asian skin color can be light as von Luschan value 12-24, but under sunlight it behaves as Fitzpatrick value IV (so it doesn't burn but tans easily). A southern italian / southern spanish / portuguese skin color can be light as von Luschan value 12-24, but it behaves as Fitzpatrick value III (so it burns sometimes and tans). It is proper of caucasian skin to burn easily under sunlight regardless of the skin color. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.249.2.217 ( talk) 15:05, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
