Explanation: Caesarion (Cleopatra and Julius Caesar's son) literally meant "little Caesar".

When people with white skin tan, they do not reach this level

White people don't all have identical responses to sun exposure. Some of my family members tan quite a bit more than I do with roughly equivalent time spent in the sun. I mostly just turn pink. Others in my family who spend significantly more time in the sun have tans a bit more on par with meme Cleo here, but tan lines that will blind you.

Everyone's different.
