This paper explores how complexion and phenotype have shaped the lives of Black males between the ages of 18 and 30 who have attended college in the Portland Metro Area in the state of Oregon. There has been less scholarly attention on the role of complexion and phenotype in the lives of Black males than females and that suggests that these factors play less of a role in the lives of Black males. In fact, the literature on complexion and phenotype is gendered female. We claim that the Portland Metro Area is an important place to study complexion and phenotype. We have found no studies that attempt to examine the role of complexion and phenotype in the lives of Black people in the Pacific Northwest. Research suggests that these factors may be experienced uniquely within different regions of the United States
