Obviously people look like whatever ethnicity their family is.
BUT, I have thick, black hair that gets oily very easily. My skin isn't very dark, but it's like a pale tan, if that makes any sense. I mean my skin's not pink or anything, it's you mixed dark skin with pure white.
Both my parents are white, and my great great great great grandmother was Native American. Everything else in my family is Irish or German, and nobody had very dark hair except for the Indian. Someone asked me why I looked like I do, and I said it was probably because of that gene. They said it was impossible to carry a gene that far along, and it must be because of some other part of my heritage.
Is it really impossible that I'm carrying the physical traits of my NA ancestors? There's no other ethnicity like east indian or italian that could explain it. It seems like every generation before me has had at least one child with very black hair and dark skin.
