February 22, 2006 - Take a look at these adorable little British girls. They were Good Morning America's picture of the week.
As you can see, one looks white and one looks black. But they are biological twins! Their names are Kayeen and Roomay. Mom and dad are of mixed race.
We're told, the odds of having twins this diverse in color is one in one million!
I dunno, I'm no statistician, but I don't see how you can take 1 in 4 and 1 in 4 and 1 in 2, and combine them in any way that gets you 1 in a million....
Maybe I'm just dense. Any statiticians want to set me straight?
Well, for starters, you're not figuring in the odds of having twins...
In the 60's another teacher had a poster that showed an extended Afro-American family at a reunion. They were every shade of skin color imaginable.
See #28.
Here's another photo I found of siblings while I was searching. The lighter one here is an albino.
Mommy's baby, Daddy's maybe.
LOL!
Not to mention those special lunches mom will have to make for her:
Tuna salad on white bread, a Tab, and a couple of Twinkies.
Right, I have a couple pictures like that in an Anthro book on the self. Those pictures and your picture show people who have the same physical characteristics except the pigmentation. The twin girls look almost identical except for pigmentation. That doesn't mean the lighter one is an albino but IMO it raises the possibility.
I hope you are wrong. I've seen this pigmentation problems you reference in some products of dual race relationships, and sometimes those children go through life with an unusual appearance that costs them socially. Both girls look just fine.
Twins can have two different fathers.
Obviously these two are not identical twins which means that two different eggs were implanted during pregnancy.
Sex with the husband and then sex within a white man within a day or two of implantation can produce this.
That is also very rare however.
And don't forget that advice before she goes out into the world...
"The Lord loves a working man."
"Don't trust whitey."
"See a doctor and get rid of it."
"This is sh!t. And this is shinola."
So, you are saying faturnal twins are a 8 in 1000, at least in the US.. so 1 per 125 births is whats missing?
Even adding that to the mix, I still don't see how 1 in 125 to have fraternal twins, comined with the 1 in 4 for white, 1 in 4 for black and 1 in 2 for biracial gets you to 1 in 1 Million.
Why, they look just alike!
Damn FRATERNAL.. ouch... need some coffee.
Can you site a source for your determination of what an albino of African ancestry would look like?
I am not yet convinced your statement is correct.
