What color is your Earwax?

The show stated that Africans and Caucasians have orange-ish earwax that has the consistency of a thick ointment.
Asians and Indians from the Americas have a lighter brown powdery consistency.
Both me n 'C have the powdery kind. Which is interesting cuz were both mixed...
No mention of the Polynesian races.
No mention of something in between concerning those of mixed races.
Interesting schtuff.

*picks ear*
Hmmmmm. Mine is kind of burgundy in color and really sticky. Must have something to do with being Mexican-Dutch-Irish-Jewish, I guess.... |

Mine is, you know, wax-colored. Duh.
Does anyone else besides me sometimes get tranced out while cleaning their ears? After a good hot shower, I can be merrily Q-tipping away and then realize I've probably been doing it for fifteen minutes or so... |

be careful with Q-tips. It actually wears the membrane of your eardrum down after a while, making it easier to puncture

Ok, so this is me discovering yet another "alien" trait I must have. My earwax changes all the time. I've seen it in the two states you listed, and in various combo-states and in-between mixes of that. I thought everyone's changed like that, maybe depending on what's going on metabolically at that time. (hydration levels, diet, health in general, etc.) I just always figured it was like that for everyone. Weird.
