I do believe that there are cultural differences but I don't think they are limited to skin color. It is true that certain cultural circles are dominated by a certain skin color, but the behavior is the same. A white kid grows up in the ghetto, just because he is white doesn't mean he acts any different than the black kid and the Mexican kid sitting next to him. Same goes for upper society. If there is a Mexican family or black family living in the Hamptons that doesn't mean he will act the same as the Mexican kid from the ghetto just because he is Mexican.\n\nIn the end it does come down to the difference just being skin color and stereotypes. It all depends on how and where you were raised. But, there are always exceptions to the rule on all sides and with all colors.

Take a look at the Innuit (eskimos). Their skin is dark. People of Siberia have darker skin than Europeans. I think its more a matter of genetics than the amount of melanin.

The darker your pigmentation, the thicker and darker your hair is going to be. It`s a genetic trait. Most people have the same amount of hair.\nA very light colored blond will have just at much hair, but it is much much thinner and lighter so not nearly as obvious.

No, not at all, a lot of people have lighter patches on their skin. My sister even has it in her hair, she's got dark brown hair within the middle a blond patch. It's called pigment-vlek in dutch, but I don't know in English.\n\nDo not take pills, as some people recommend you, it's totally normal!!!!

I am Welsh. Most fellow Welsh people I know have dark hair, but I do know a lot of people who have light coloured eyes. I myself have black hair and dark brown eyes although blue eyes do also run in my family.

The amount of melanin in the skin.  This trait is passed down from your parents, so it is genetic.  But the amount of the dark pigment melanin in the skin determines the color of your skin.

the Eskimo belong to the Mongoloid Arctic race. They are characterized by low stature, a stocky build, a relatively dark skin, a high cranium, stiff dark hair and a characteristic eye fold. The nose and the face with its high cheekbones are relatively narrow. There is very little hair growing on the face. Colour-blindness is almost unknown. \nEskimos have darker skin than would be expected if the vitamin D theory of lighter skin is the only explanation. I suggest the Eskimos may be an example of a "position-locked" group that produces more testosterone. The increased\ntestosterone in this group may be why they have darker skin than would be expected.

Science has shown that we look different based on where we live. Do you no get enough sun light you have pale skin. More sun the darker your skin based on how much vitamin D you need. If you have more sun your eyes would he darker to. Less sun light the lighter your eyes so that you would let more light in for better sight. Also the eyes would form differently based on light. and wind. If the area was bright and or windy then the eyes would not open that much and there fore they are what we now call slanted. \n\nThese are just a  few of our differences and why.

Spaniards are kinda dark but way lighter than Latin Americans and better looking (Spanish girls have beautiful features).\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_people

Pale skin isn't unhealty. The color of ones skin is dictated by the amount of melanin produced within the skin. The sun increases the productions of said melanin, causing a gradual increase in shading of the skin. It doesn't matter what color you are intially. The process works the same way for everyone. It's all in your body.

It sounds that your brother has a skin condition called Vitiligo. Basically its a lack of pigmentation of the skin in various areas. You can get some in depth information on www.vitiligosupport.com .

It could be any colour from ebony black to snow white.See the link below for an extreme example.\n\nSkin colour genetics is not simple recessive/dominant. It is a very complex trait based on at least 8 genes on 5 different chromosomes. As a result it is perfectly possible for children to be considerably darker or lighter than either parent. \n\n\nBeing "mixed heritage" makes no difference whatsoever. All humans are of mixed heritage and always have been. There isn't some hypothetical pure human heritage that has only one skin colour present.

you're asking this question because the darker-skin pigment genes *do* tend to be dominant or co-dominant. the answer may go back to your father's parentage ... were his recent ancestors all latino? recessive genes can skip generations before showing up.

By birth there is no colour difference.but as they grow up they expose to the sunlight and when the body lacks Vit A the body in order to protect itself from the harmful UVA and UVB rays produce more melanin in the body and as a result the skin darkens at knees and elbows.
