I'm going to commit the crime of posting to the thread without having read all of the posts. I just can't take the time right now. So sue me! A "pink" is a certain small flower of the rose family, my Beautiful Wife (a dedicated rose grower) told me years ago. Accordingly, I've for many years understood that the singer is indulging in a pet name for his intended, analogous to calling her his little violet or little daisy. No racial meaning at all, is my understanding. Dave Oesterreich
