Most celebrities have pale skin?

Really? The source is an indian blog and the statement there refers to indian celebrities. While they are important surely this needs to be qualified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.167.254.108 (talk) 15:14, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Blogs are not reliable, I'll RM it. -- Aunva6^{talk - contribs} 15:17, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

doesn't have said statement anywhere I can find -- Aunva6^{talk - contribs} 15:20, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Looking at the section the IP must be speaking of, the "Most actors and actresses have light skin" wording is not sourced to a blog, unless that Newsweek source is considered a news blog. But per Wikipedia:Reliable sources#Self-published sources (online and paper) and Wikipedia:Verifiability#Newspaper and magazine blogs, news blogs are not blogs in the same vein as self-published blogs and are generally more reliable than self-published blogs. They are generally considered reliable sources.

And the "Many actors and actresses in Latin America and Hispanic United States have European features—blond hair, blue eyes, and pale skin." line is supported by several sources (WP:Citation overkill), some more reliable than others. Flyer22 (talk) 16:15, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
