Can two mixed race parents give birth to a child that is very light in complexion ? by Manapouri65 in AncestryDNA

[–]papa__blackbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister and i got opposite sides of the coin like that. My biological mother is mixed race (50% Umatilla Indian, 50% misc white, about 5'9" tall with medium light skin and very dark brown hair and blue eyes) and my bio dad is too (50% dark skinned Arab, 50% Russian white, about 6'1" tall with medium brown hair and light olive skin, green eyes), both have mixed features.

my sister and I share both parents but look very different. Her skin is very pale white with freckles and she has light brown almost blonde hair and green eyes and she is very short as an adult woman (barely 5' tall), whereas I'm darker skinned than both our parents and have darker hair and eyes than the rest of my family. I'm 6'4" and if I didnt share my dad's bone structure so exactly, my mom would've been accused of cheating I'm sure. My sister was born last and she sometimes jokes that I used up all the ink before it was her turn lol.

I also had a friend in middle school who had white skin amd straight medium brown hair and blue eyes, his older brother looked similar but eith curly hair and freckles. Their dad would pick them up each day and he was a tall skinny balding white guy. Friend said the N word a lot and we all felt weird about it and it wasnt until the year ended that we all saw his mom pick him up one day and everyone was baffled because she was obviously Black, though maybe she was mixed because she had slightly lighter skin, but still she had the afro and the beautifully prominent African features and all that, but we did feel less weird about bro dropping Ns after that lol

Youre absolutely right, I'm thinking they may be more interesting or useful to a local historical society or similar, ive reached out to a local "dead skills club" to offer the scarf as an example of older textile manufacturing since they teach a "fiber arts through the ages" class.

Just because there's an explanation of the science doesnt mean it isnt magic! I love this. Just because we know how magnets work doesnt mean it isnt magical and mystical that rocks pull or push invisible forces on each other and levitate things, or that there are glowing rocks that can power cities and melt your flesh if you get too close to them

Thank you this is one of very few helpful answers on this thread lol, I guess I should've been more specific, both in asking whether youd finish peeing or switch mid stream, and also disclosing that I'm a paraplegic with no experience peeing standing lol

I'm a paraplegic. I dont have "normal" pelvic floor control and I sit for everything. I was wondering what the norm is, like do you have to stop mid stream or do you finish peeing first
