14 | [[evil:[[white:White]]]] is the lightest shade of {{gray|Tropes}}, being a combination of all wavelengths of visible light combining into the one lightest color. In the West, it can symbolize life and good. In Asia, white often symbolizes death. It also [[WhiteIsPure symbolizes purity and cleanliness]], as the color white betrays nearly any stain, and its pure whiteness is also a symbol of pure cleanliness. In human society, the color white is also a symbolic designation for [[WhiteIndex the lightest superficial human skin complexions]] [[RaceTropes and their social meaning]] -- though these complexions more often look pink or light beige than pure white. Sometimes [[UnfortunateImplications more insidiously]], "white" refers not only to lightness of skin, but to being of Caucasoid descent -- other similarly light-skinned peoples of predominantly non-Caucasoid descent are more likely to be excluded from this definition. |
