I tried to be civil but your ignorance is showing.

The first quote that I assumed people are using as a base for this dabate is false because the book never used those words. So I specifically gave direct quotes from two real sources. So you didn't know you can use complexion to discribe the appearence and perspective of things. I hope you learned something from this experience. 

Somebody, get this guy a chair.

 

So you're now trying to say that the quote means "she has a white perspective" or "she has a white appearance but not white skin"? 

 

2 other people taught you the obvious meaning of the word. Don't try to cover your mistake by now going in a dictionary to choose any secondary meaning with no relation to the sentence.

 

And you even dare to be condescending... No no, go ahead, it's so much better than to admit that you made a mistake. Keep digging! 

This is just my perspective, but I always kind of assumed that "complexion" in literature was usually referred to like the physical health or condition of someone's skin? Like for instance, recently I didn't sleep for like 36 hours straight, and I had a white "complexion". I am white, but you can have a white complexion and be black, or at least that's what I thought.

Ironically, the definition is supposedly the natural skin color of someone specifically. From Google : "the natural color, texture, and appearance of a person's skin, especially of the face." But I have seen it used many times to describe a face as pale.
