When a black man and a white woman have a child, does the child become white? If a white man and a black woman have a child, does the child become black?

These kids are neither White/Black, they’re them, mixed/biracial/whatever you’d like to label it. They are uniquely them.

Clearly, this is a mixed bag. You never know what you will get.

Their kids look like this:

It’s stupid AF. lol.

Seal is a Black man and had children with his ex. Heidi Klum, a White woman.

Corbin Carroll Diagnosed With Wrist Fracture - MLB Trade Rumors

Regardless, just love the kids.

Plus, less progressive societies usually, incorrectly, believe the man has the stronger genes. So this isn’t even a widely held belief. A common belief is that the father decides the race, which is stupid.

Other examples.

How do I write a character’s physical description without it feeling unnatural and clunky? I’m able to describe their hair and body relatively easily because my writing puts emphasis on small movements and fidgeting, but I can’t describe faces.
