I dunno, I'm no statistician, but I don't see how you can take 1 in 4 and 1 in 4 and 1 in 2, and combine them in any way that gets you 1 in a million....
Maybe I'm just dense. Any statiticians want to set me straight?

Well, for starters, you're not figuring in the odds of having twins...

In the 60's another teacher had a poster that showed an extended Afro-American family at a reunion. They were every shade of skin color imaginable.

I disagree with regard to the lighter ones looks. However they are cute kids.
Here's another photo I found of siblings while I was searching. The lighter one here is an albino.

Reminds me of a joke ...
A lady was in the delivery room starting to deliver her baby. As the head came out it was dark and had an afro.
The doctor said, "Ma'am, have you ever slept with a black man?" She said, "Well, yes, but only once." "Once is all it takes" he replied.
Then the torso came out and it was yellow. "Ma'am, have you ever slept with an oriental man?" the doctor asked. "Well, yes" she said, "but only once." "Once is all it takes," he said.
When the legs came out they were red. The doctor asked her if she had ever slept with an Indian and she said only once and he replied that that was all it took. Well, he pulled the kid out and held it upside down and slapped it's bottom to make it cry.
"Oh, thank God," she exclaimed "at least it doesn't bark!"

I can hear the white kid now..."You mean I'm going to stay this color?" LOL!
Not to mention those special lunches mom will have to make for her:
Tuna salad on white bread, a Tab, and a couple of Twinkies.

Right, I have a couple pictures like that in an Anthro book on the self. Those pictures and your picture show people who have the same physical characteristics except the pigmentation. The twin girls look almost identical except for pigmentation. That doesn't mean the lighter one is an albino but IMO it raises the possibility.

"The pigment may be localized in freckles." I hope you are wrong. I've seen this pigmentation problems you reference in some products of dual race relationships, and sometimes those children go through life with an unusual appearance that costs them socially. Both girls look just fine.
To: Hank Kerchief
Twins can have two different fathers.
Obviously these two are not identical twins which means that two different eggs were implanted during pregnancy.
Sex with the husband and then sex within a white man within a day or two of implantation can produce this.
That is also very rare however.

And don't forget that advice before she goes out into the world...

"Don't trust whitey."

I went to school with a girl with albinism. She was of European descent and it did affect the way people treated her. I suspect an African wouldn't have the same problems in a mixed race society like Britain. I wish I could post the pictures I have, these people are often quite attractive which means they won't be ostracized.

So, you are saying faturnal twins are a 8 in 1000, at least in the US.. so 1 per 125 births is whats missing?
Even adding that to the mix, I still don't see how 1 in 125 to have fraternal twins, comined with the 1 in 4 for white, 1 in 4 for black and 1 in 2 for biracial gets you to 1 in 1 Million.

Why, they look just alike!

Can you site a source for your determination of what an albino of African ancestry would look like?
I am not yet convinced your statement is correct.
