African albinos are more common than European albinos so someone with partial African ancestry is more likely to carry it. I agree that someone with mixed ancestry can produce throwbacks in every direction but I would expect most traits to be inherited in groups. The fact that this little girl looks so much like her sister (except for pigment) makes me suspect a more unusual inheritance pattern at work.

"And the weirdest one that I came across. These boys are 11 now I think. First of all, their names are Koen and Tuen, pronounced Koon and Toon - guess which one is named Koen? Anywho....They were voted the world's least alike twins for good reason. One is black, one is white and they have different fathers. In a nutshell, the mother had in vitro fertilization and apparently the pipette used had a black man's sperm still in it. At least, that's what they think happened cause the black couple in the waiting room the same day they were there got tested and the man is the father."

From a quick web search. The 'I' isn't me, although I remembered the story from a decade or so ago...

Didn't look like that to me...her color looked North European normal, rather than African albino. Being sisters, I would expect them to look a lot a like, just because they are related. Need better pics!

(I grew up in New Orleans, where we have all sorts of degrees of mixed blood, mediterranean blood, Central American blood and a cultural imperative that requires people to recognise what ethnic group you belong to - and with a fair amount of albinism. Got a good eye for this, but even so, bad pics don't let you decide much.)
