Black has stronger genes than white.

Nor always true.
My two mixed race kids I gave birth to easily gave easily pass for orientals.
Their dad is Caucasian.

True, but the child would not have come out that dark.

And when babies are born, even if both parents are black, they tend to be born at least a shade or two lighter than what their complexion will turn out to be.

You're dumb. My Grandparents had 8 kids, my grandfather was high yellow mixed and my grandmother dark skin, they have only two kids that babies color. The rest are still lighter than that dark ass fake mixed baby.

I don't see the baby is any darker than her father. Don't know why some people keep pushing this issue. Child actors are hard to come by. For a small budget TV series, the producers have cast the close enough baby actor.

...because the producer of the show do not know the meaning of biracial.

Actually, I have friends who have biracial children and both were very dark when they were born. Even now, you wouldn't realize their mom is white with very light hair and that they are biracial.

Poor effort.

Apparently, neither do you.

The skin of a biracial child isn't going to just "even out" to an average of the two parents. That's now how it works.

because of genes. you can have two brothers from a black and white parent, and one brother will have fair skin and the other dark skin (not wesley snipes dark tho). because of genes.

not trying to sound like an *beep* but i'm surprised that people still question things like this. they teach you this stuff early on. it's not like you have to take a college level course to get it. you can end up being darker than your family or lighter or the same or taller or shorter or whatever.

and the baby isn't even that dark.

This is true.

I'm Filipino and my husband is Caucasian. My oldest son is tan like me (looks full Filipino), while my youngest is pretty light (but still looks more Asian than White). And they don't immediately look like brothers.

yep. the magic of genes. can have facial features from your husband or facial features from you. or both from you or both from your husband. nose from your husband or nose from you. so on and so on. the combinations are endless.

Black person here that baby is DARK, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT'S A FRICKIN BABY! BLACK PEOPLE DONT GET THRIR COLOR UNTIL THEY ARE AT LEAST 6 MONTHS, AND SOME TILL THEY ARE A TODDL?

reply

[–] kinaiscute 8 years ago

I'm black and I agree. That was a full black baby. I have 3 biracial nieces and nephews...one looks Hispanic even though his parents are black and white, my niece looks biracial..slightly darker than my nephew, but still pretty fair skinned, enough to tell she's mixed. The last one looks more black, but you can still tell he's mixed. The baby on this show had 2 black parents in real life.

Because casting couldn't find a real bi-racial baby and just took a baby from two black parents. All those who doubt this should know that when a black baby is born, they are lighter skinned than what their real colour will be! Funny but true, in order to tell the colour of a black baby, we always use to say in the hospital, look at the ears!

It would take over a week to tell the difference in a Afro-American(who are in fact 15-25% European) baby from a white one. The baby would be light skinned for the moment.

Her grandpa was also of color. So it's in her genes too

reply

[–] kaynospam 7 years ago

Unless genes can be passed through contact, she doesn't have his genes. He's Leanne's stepfather, which means none of his genes are in Teresa.
