Touchie question but ill still ask anyway...?

Question

It makes sense to me that white people can have children with i wide variety of characteristics... For example since we have recessive characteristics we can have children with black, brown, blue, green and hazel eyes, not to mention black, brown, red and blonde hair plus all shades of skin color.. I guess it depends on who we produce with... hehe sry its been on my mind all day and i know this will upset someone but does this bother non-whites?

Answer 1

no. and many other races have these attributes as well.

Answer 2

I guess you don't have children. If you did, you would know that if your child came out looking like a moose, it still would not bother you in the least, and you would still love the child dearly. No offense or anything, but often times this is a concept that is difficult for people who are not parents to grasp. New parents are often so worried about other things like feeding schedules, diapers, doting on what a beautiful baby they have, or later on, doting on the things the baby can do "he's crawling now!" "he's walking now!" to really stop and dwell on what color eyes and hair he has, accept for the during the occassional photography session, in which you have to choose background colors and outfit colors to suit.

Dark eyes run in my family. I say dark, because I rarely see nonwhites with actually black eyes. My family has dark brown eyes. I've never seen a straight black pair of eyes on anyone before, and I know a lot of nonwhite people with dark eyes.

Red hair runs in my family. My child has the most beautiful dark brown eyes and red hair, and yellow tan skin. (Even though both my husband and I have black hair. My dad and sister have red hair.) The last thing you think about when your child(ren) are born is what color their eyes are going to be. The first thing you do is make sure they are healthy. The next thing you try to figure out is who they look like, irregardless of eye/hair color. My child's hair did not begin to show redness in it until he was several weeks old. Even then, I hardly noticed it, I just began to notice there was "something" about my child that reminded me of my dad, but I couldn't pinpoint what it was. Slowly and ever so gradually his hair color got lighter and lighter by the sun until it was blatantly obvious that it was red.

But your question is a good one, and in short, no, it does not bother me that my child(ren) does not/may not have "colorful" eyes or hair.

Answer 3

Actually blacks have the most diversity in their race, look at someone like Beyonce or Terrance Howard compared to Venus Williams or Wesley Snipes . That's a huge difference compared to two white people that just have different hair colors but damn near the same white or olive complexion. Blacks range from very dark to almost white looking so whites are definitely not more diverse looks wise then blacks. The least diverse to me are not whites, but Many Asians like Chinese or Japanese people. Although they have the least amount of diversity, I don't think it bothers them at all because a different perception of this same scenario could be that they are preserving their blood line and gene pool.
*****Note***** Whites do have recessive genes and blacks have dominate genes but if a person has 1 drop or a little of black blood and all the rest is white, White becomes the dominate and black becomes the recessive and they are white.

Answer 4

Nope. :-) (though I am caucasian)

Physical variances in the next generation are still dependent on the genetics of both parents, regardless of race. I know a kid who is half African and European descent. He has beautiful tan skin and green eyes with some Asian influence. Variety comes in many forms.

Answer 5

Actually sometimes I thought of that.. coz I'm Asian, so we could only have black hair. Sometimes I wish I could have brown hair or green eyes. But it's not upsetting me =)

Answer 6

Of course not. You need to do more reading on recessive genes.

Answer 7

Why would it?

Answer 8

No.
