Hi there,
I just wanted to say that genetics are completely unpredictable. I myself am bi-racial. My mother is Native American (but has green eyes), my father is Western European (typical blonde, blue eyed). I look white except for the fact my eyes have heterochromia iridum. (Fancy way for saying two different colors.) The fact is that there is no real "racial purity" Many people who are black in the U.s. have a lot of white European ancestory and vise versa. I was chastised all the time as a kid when I would say I am American Indian because ignorant people said I was too "white" to be native. (I do speak the dialect, and was raised in the culture), but many of the tribal members are the result of "freedmen" and native inter-marriage. (Freedmen meaning escape and freed slaves.) So, when I'm compared with these other tribal members of course I look white. I'm guessing it's the same for you. You should watch a movie called "skin". It's based on a true story of a South African (white) couple who had children classified as black. We are all only testament to the fact there is no "Race" but the human race, and any allusion to anything other than cultural ties should be abolished. You are not only normal, but beautiful. I hope this helps: )
