word choice - Is it normal to describe someone as having white skin?


Is it normal, outside of the context of discussing a person's race, albinism, or very artificial make-up, to describe someone as having white skin, as opposed to using words such as "pale" or "light-coloured"?


The context it was used was an East Asian person describing another person of the same ethnicity in terms of how beautiful she is.
