Where does the phrase “We’re all pink on the inside” come from?

Historically speaking, I’ve heard the phrase “We’re all pink on the inside” many times, but a Google search mostly brings up results about Pink, the artist. It’s a clever saying, and I’ve always wondered who originally came up with it. Does anyone know its origin?

Well i remember it from Employee of the month with Dane Cook and Jessica Simpson

Zack: Were all pink on the inside...

Vince: Like vaginas!

[awkward pause]

Vince: [cough]

And Carrie Fisher used it in her book Surrender the pink.1990

The title term, surrender the pink, is a colloquialism pertaining to male Տҽ×ual advances to a female. It comes from the phrase, "They're all pink on the inside."

This novel, like most of Fisher's books, is semi-autobiographical and fictionalizes events from her real life. It is said to be loosely based on her short marriage to singer Paul Simon.

I don't know the origin of the phrase, but it refers to anti-racism. No matter what colour people are on the outside, that's the only difference. Everybody is the same on the inside. In other words, racism is literally 'skin deep'.
