In the case of African Americans, we have light skinned Blacks because of European, Native American, etc. ancestry (and this doesn't mean that dark skinned Blacks don't have such ancestry because many do, including myself).

My interpretation of genetic mutation (in this way) doesn't begat light skinned Blacks.
Wait... If you do a sequence search from one population vs. another--say Nordic featured Caucasians and Africans from Sub-Sahara, you will find that the African genes are diverse in sequence from Nordic featured Caucasians... And when you compare the African albinos to Nordic featured Caucasians to the main allele, you do find similarities in the actual code...

These are not the same things that make an "African featured" dark-skinned or Asian dark-skinned person... What THE only change is the mutations seen in the albinos are JUST the same or similar as the sequence in Caucasians--NOT ALL--but quite a few populations.

There may be polymorphic markers that different or single nucleotide polymorphisms or translation state arrayed microRNAs--however, the TYR gene spelling is remarkably similar to African type Albinos... Specifically in West African in descent--from Nigeria across to Tanzania give or take a few countries.
