My post to you was not about this gentleman's race, but your use of "dominance" vs. "recessive" in your original picture.

Dark skin color is neither dominant nor recessive. It is controlled by several genes. Light people having children with dark people almost always produce children with an intermediate color. Your picture is a case in point. Even the article says that this mutation "largely" explains the emergence of light skin color - not that dark is dominant over white.

This same effect is observed in eye color.
