He is perhaps the smartest and most disciplined "Chinese guy" ever. Very glorified and respected figure, also known for his extremely dark skin.
Anyone think that he was just a black guy?
If so, I LOVE black people!!!

Perhaps he was a Negrito immigrant.

That, or he had a thing for tanning.
But what's this? He actually had pale skin? How do you know this?
EDIT: Yeah, just googled for some info on Bao Gong...Shao's right.

Bao Zheng (包拯) (999–1062) was a much-praised judge from Song China. His job title was the Mayor of the capital city (開封府尹) at the time. Because of his renowned fairness, he was popularly nicknamed "Blue-Sky Bao" (Chinese: 包青天; Hanyu Pinyin: Bao Qingtian) or "Lord Bao" (Chinese: 包公; Hanyu Pinyin: Bao Gong). He was also nicknamed "Darkie Bao" (Chinese: 包黑子; Hanyu Pinyin: Bao Heizi) by his enemies due to his very dark complexion. (This is more of a myth and glorification, as the real Bao actually had a pale complexion and no birth mark.) His courtesy name was Xiren (希仁).
