I think I just did a poor job of explaining what I was thinking. I realize that being white doesn't mean you won't look a certain way.

Completely off topic but funny nevertheless, most of y'all know that I have cousins who are mixed black and white. Most of them are light skinned, as their black side was very light to begin with. My first cousin named her children AA names, as she identified with being black more than white, and didn't want her kids going through the same struggle she did.
At my mother's viewing, I introduced my now-husband to my cousin, Ebony. She is very beautiful, with black hair and grey eyes. When we got back to my house, DH said, "I don't think I've ever met a white woman named Ebony." I replied, "You still haven't."
I still don't know who had the funniest reaction, DH's, or Ebony & her mother!
