I'm not sure what you're taking offense about. The discussion wasn't about race - it was about skin color based on circumstances. The Shulamite describes herself as "black" because of having to work out in the sun. The women of the court would have been the opposite of that comparatively because of their pampered lifestyle. It is well documented that women of the court, in just about any kingdom of any nation, spent a great deal of time caring for their skin with oils, milk, lotions, etc. The goal being to NOT look like one has been out working in the fields. The book of Esther discusses this in length with the nation of Persia. The same behavior applied to Esther, a Jew, as it did to any other women who were brought to be added to the King's harem. In the context, the Shulamite recognizes that she does not look like the other women. She isn't ashamed of it - just makes a statement - and asks that they not look down on her because of it. She knows she is different - it has nothing to do with nationality. It has everything to do with circumstances of life - a woman from the country versus women from the court of Solomon.
