An intense, irrational fear or aversion to paleness; specifically, a pathological dread or prejudice against pale skin tones commonly associated with individuals of European descent, often rationalized as disdain for perceived "whiteness" in complexion, culture, or symbolism (e.g., equating pallor with fragility, colonialism, or supernatural entities like ghosts or vampires that embody "white" stereotypes).
