I would think it's a compliment, the 'fair skin/light eyes/brunette thing' is just about the best combo there is.
I have a 99.4 approval and 12k approved... Not much a difference in quality of HITs in my experience, but perhaps I don't frequent mturk nearly enough.
I am up in the Mt. Shasta area, near the Oregon border. It was 15 here last night. "High" temp is like 30 for today. Dang it is COLD!
New Year started off with 73 degrees here in Florida. Very unusual! Kids were outside in their shorts barefoot playing.

Aw. I'm glad somebody likes the fair skinned ladies. I'm from a small podunk town and people would always tell me I needed a tan. Went to NYU for a summer program, and people constantly complimented me on my skin. People from podunk are just kind of backwards sometimes, in their way of thinking. I just kind of embraced it, and thought, "Well, this will be my 'look.'"

Just as you have to separate the 'banter' you also have to separate the hits you cannot do. Instead of complaining you should strive to make it so those hits you are unqualified for are not an issue. Sorry if I come off as a prick but that post you made really makes it seem like you could give a damn about people posting hits unless YOU can do them. You really need to get over that.
Honestly, you'd be surprised how many people like the fair-skin look. Degrees of tanning can look good, but are overrated. But I'm totally not biased with my portion of Irish you-get-cancer-not-tan genes.

Wanting the quals listed is pretty fair, imo, it's just a little bit of courtesy that can make things a little easier for people.
