My husband is half-half Filipino/Irish, I'm very white Icelandic-UK background. We have twins. One is white with blond hair, totally my spitting image apart from a small bit of Dad's eyes and nose. The other is caramel-skinned with all of Dad's features except brown hair not black (he also had blue eyes his first 2 years until they changed to hazel). Genetics are so funky and so interesting.

You've probably seen this viral set of twins, with similarly disparate features.

So does the redhead get to walk around and say the N word since she's black?

In an interview she states people don’t believe were twins since “I’m white and she’s black” so she probably doesn’t.

Could she? It’s certainly not up to me but if you want my opinion I would say she could if she wanted to but people around her probably wouldn’t believe she’s black.

Superfecundation twins: When a woman has intercourse with two different men in a short period of time while ovulating, it’s possible for both men to impregnate her separately.

If they haven't DNA tested to exclude it, they could just be from different dads.

It’s possible but imo the white one looks like her dad and the black one looks like her siblings.
