“Ras en huidskleur hebben helemaal niks met elkaar te maken. Ras is een wetenschappelijk fabeltje, er bestaan wezenlijk alleen maar Homo Sapiens, Neanderthalers etc dat zijn mensenrassen.

Als je toch een verzamelkleur moet benoemen probeer dan een beetje realistisch te duiden, varkensroze bijvoorbeeld. Ik denk verder niet dat Sunny Bergman over een eeuw nog bekend zal staan als een van de grote filosofische vernieuwers van de 21e eeuw. En ook ontgaat me wat er precies mis is met het pantone systeem, dat is een universele en realistische kleur aanduider. Als je dus zo nodig wilt identificeren met een zelfde kleur zoek je Pantone 456c bijv.”
