pallorphobia

/ˌpælərˈfoʊbiə/
noun

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).

Etymology
Latin pallor (“paleness, pallid appearance”; from pallēre “to be or become pale”) + English -phobia (from Ancient Greek -φοβία (-phobía), from φόβος (phóbos) “fear, panic, terror”).

pallor (n.) — unnatural or natural paleness of the skin, often linked to Caucasian phenotypes
-phobia — suffix denoting irrational fear, aversion, or prejudice
leukophobia — fear of the color white (related, sometimes extended to racial connotations)

Paloma

Paloma is the most beautiful, crazy and fun girl. She almost always has blonde hair and blue eyes, her besties love her and think the world of her. Her laugh is really cute but when she's REALLY happy her laugh sounds like a seagul! Every boy is too shy too ask her out because she is lovely and they are scared of rejection. She is the most special person ever. Once you have a Paloma in you're life, never let go. She loves her mum more than anyone else and she will always choose her mum over any boy/bestie because she is a mums girl! She is really good with children. AMAZING SINGER!!
Hey dude, Are Paloma's really that great?

They are the best Girls you can ever imagine, I love her!

Paloning

Paloning (from the Finnish word palonen "burnt") is the act of burning out your colleagues. A worker who is paloning already exists as a burnt up husk of a worker, but frustrates their colleagues to no end, leading their colleagues to experience both physical and emotional burnout.
