Mixed race children and their skin tone
I know lots of interracial couples with one black parent, one white parent. I have noticed that mixed race children with white mothers and black fathers tend to have lighter skin than those with black mothers and white fathers. Is this something to do with genetics or just coincidence from the sample I've seen? I would suppose that because the white body is the one bearing the child that it effects the child's development in the womb. Any ideas? This is an honest query.

It doesn't make a difference.I'm white and my daughter is mixed race but darker in skin tone than my nephew who's mother was black and father white.I don't think you can predict these things as sometimes couples with a light skinned black partner have had a quite dark skinned child and visa versa. Who knows!
