sanmiguellight Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) OK, I know a Thai girl who is lots of fun to be with but is unbelievably devious. Anyway she has 2 kids from her 1st marriage the youngest is as light as a Thai chinese girl you see on the TV and the other is very dark skinned, their father is half Caucasian half Thai thus has a fair complexion. Is this possible to have 2 completely coloured kids from the same parents or highly unlikely? There was research done in the US many years ago that showed something like 10% (thats a guess but it was a significant amount) of kids were not the child of the father whom they thought they were.

Yes mine to, it was when she told me the darker one looked like her ex husband in a way which was made to convince me that i instantly thought this. But there must be many of these cases.

Heng Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Sure it's possible. But you should do your own due diligence as (broad generalization alert without naming names) a lot of gals that a certain group of guys that usually travel here via plane tend to get involved with and marry have been married before, have had children from more than one father, and might be less prone to giving you the entire story straight up.

She doesnt work in a bar and lives abroad with her new husband my relationship with her is purely platonic, the kids are 100% definitely brought up by the ex husband who she was married to for 12/13 years .... maybe just one of lifes mysteries that LOS offers on a regular basis.

Naam Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 before some more ignorants present their bullshit and smear an innocent woman they should inform themselves that is indeed possible that parents can produce offsprings which differ ethnically in an extreme way. google for "Mendel's Inheritance Laws", get a basic idea or just shut up and keep on sipping your Chang!

mahtin Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Naam is right, of course. W.E. du Bois (1868-1963), was an African American activist who conducted the initial research on the Black experience in the United States. His work paved the way for the civil rights, Pan-African, and Black Power movements in the United States. He coined the phrase "Black Power" and who is still today highly regarded in Black American circles. Yet Du Bois himself , as can be seen from his picture (left) was clearly another example of the Mendelian Laws of Inheritance at work: and was, on the face of it, not "Black" at all. In his particular case, the recessive "White" alleles combined in his parents to produce a particularly White-looking individual. http://www.white-history.com/mendel.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heng Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I'd imagine a good portion of folks here have had BASIC high school biology and know it's possible. If the OP has suspicions, then he is far from alone and certainly not having unique unfounded thoughts. A lot of foreigners here are foster parents, and no doubt some of them don't know it and perhaps don't know to what extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 The whole skin colour thing is totally overdone in this country. It's completely superficial. If you're concerned about your friend's veracity or otherwise, take one hair from both kids and go and pay for a paternity test. This is one aspect of Thai culture I very much resist, a fascination with the amount of melanin in a person's skin and all the prejudice attached to it.

In leiu of a standard "birds and the bees" talk, my father sent me down to the basemaent to breed Drosophila Melanogaster for a couple of months. I learned that sniffing ether will make you extremely lightheaded and I also learned that yes indeed these children under discussion could certainly be from the same parents.

This is one aspect of Thai culture I very much resist, a fascination with the amount of melanin in a person's skin and all the prejudice attached to it. Melanin is in the skin for a good reason and that is to protect the skin. If you stop production you will cause skin problems. I see a huge increase in skin cancers due to the use of these products in the future. Black white who cares? Cheers, Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMA_FARANG Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 OK, I know a Thai girl who is lots of fun to be with but is unbelievably devious.Anyway she has 2 kids from her 1st marriage the youngest is as light as a Thai chinese girl you see on the TV and the other is very dark skinned, their father is half Caucasian half Thai thus has a fair complexion. Is this possible to have 2 completely coloured kids from the same parents or highly unlikely? There was research done in the US many years ago that showed something like 10% (thats a guess but it was a significant amount) of kids were not the child of the father whom they thought they were. The answer is yes. It is just a matter of whatever genetic matairial happens to determine skin color. My Thai family is a mixture of...get this..Thai, Chinese, English (via Austrailia), Indian, and Burmese heritage. There are 3 children in the family whose skin color runs from relatively light (as in Thai) to relatively dark (close to Indian). There is a granddaughter who has Indian facial features, but who has skin that would pass as a Thai from Chiang Mai. So, the answer is yes, it is possible.

bravingbangkok Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) I know a few people who have this in London, parents are white and black, have 1 child very white and the other very black, It can happen. You must also understand that boys tend to play outside more in the sun, her mum probably does not mind so much with her son but tries to keep her daughter out of the sun and as white as Casper, whatever makes that dowry sweeter Jokeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Edited June 21, 2009 by bravingbangkok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbk Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Sandra Laing is a famous example of a dark skinned baby born to white parents Here is a woman that had twins, one white one black. And here is a woman who did it twice, two sets of twins seven years apart. Yes they are a mixed race couple, but then so is the couple in the OP.

DP25 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Unless DNA testing is done it's not proven who the real father is. Also, it's entirely possible for two different fathers to impregnate two different eggs in a woman, resulting in dramatically different looking twins.
