Seems like skin tone is another phrase that will get you in trouble these days. I know what the controversy is but I think everybody understands what is meant by skin tone, so why can't we use it?
What?
I never heard anyone say "we" can't use the words skin tone.
Yeah, that's a new one to me also, skin tone can apply to anyone of any race. You can have a very fair skin tone vs a olive skin tone vs a pinkish all in the same race of people. I was stationed in japan for two years and I have seen the pretty dark skin to a very fair and everything in between and these were all Japanese people. Using skin tone shouldn't be a problem for anyone.

If by "skin tone" you mean "he has a light complexion" or "she has a darker complexion," yeah. You can say that.
