Do non-caucasian babies tend to have blue eyes when they're born, too, or is it just caucasian babies?

Answer 1

Well... my son is African-American born to two African-American parents and he was born with and still has blue eyes. (he's three weeks old) That being said... because we both are African-American there is a history of caucasian influence in both of our bloodlines. (slavery days.... master's privileges etc.) From what I have read the blue eyed newborn is typically Caucasian with African and Asian parents usually bearing brown eyed children. So ... I would say the answer to your question is that people with some Caucasian background even if it's small have the ability to bear children who have blue eyes at birth.

Answer 2

Asian babies don't have blue eyes when they're born. But I've seen Asian-Caucasian newborns and they have have very deep blue eyes too.

Answer 3

My children are all light skinned Aboriginals, and out of five, four of them were born with very dark brown eyes, and the latest was born with deep grey/blue eyes that are gradually turning a hazel color.

Answer 4

They can have blue eyes if their backgrounds are mixed but not if their ancestry is more pure. Blue eyes are a recessive feature. On the other hand, neither me nor my husband have brown eyes. As a result, we can't produce a child with that eye color.

Answer 5

Both my husband and I are Mexican and both of our boys were born with blue/green colored eyes. My eyes change from blue/green/grey, depending on what I am wearing. My husband has brown eyes.

-My mom has green eyes, dad has hazel eyes, grandma has sky blue eyes...colored eyes seem to be the dominant gene
