A Jew of non-color?

What makes someone a Jew of color? When I recently met up with other Jews of color, I realized that I was the pastiest face in the room. I was the only one who could convincingly (and I have before) pass as just some tanned Ashkenazi or more likely, Sephardic girl.

Does that mean I'm not a Jew of color?

I suspect that mixed race people, who don't look "mixed" and are identified by looks as just one race, have asked themselves this question, too.

Despite the fact that I need to wear a lot of sunblock to prevent me from turning into a "redneck," I'm going to go out on a limb and say not only am I a mixed race Jew, I'm a Jew of color. I'm a brown Jew on the inside, even if I'm not a brown Jew on the outside.
