How am I lighter than both of my parents?

[Anonymous]

Both of my parents are biracial. My mom is Mexican and Black but she looks like a full black woman with loose textured hair and she's about the same complexion as Gabrielle Union. My dad is Black and White but he isn't that light, he's around Barack Obama's complexion but he has Hazel eyes. Meanwhile, I'm this color.

I have more black in me than they do, so I'm kind of lost. I could be in the sun all day and I'm still lighter than both of them.

Ah yes the magic of recessive traits least you didn't end up with that weird mesh of white and black people hair that always looks impossible to manage to me

Inherited genes and how they affected your melanin concentration compared to your parents decided that.
