May be a silly question....

Okay we all know that White ppl tend to have bodies full of freckles and moles. My question is are these freckles and moles genetic? Do they move in your generation?

If a desi gal marries a White who has tons of freckles on him, What are the chances that their kids will have freckles too?

I have read so many posts about marrying in other race, desi marrying non desi etc. So what is your observation about their babies, in regard of Freckles and Moles?

MODS can move it to appropriate section.

Eh it's not only white peopel who get freckles and have moles. People of all races can get freckles and have moles. Especially moles, I bet you have a bunch of them also.

And yeah it's genetic. I know this dark Tunesian woman with freckles. LOL

Re: May be a silly question....

I know every race have them but whites have more of them. Seen their faces full of brown freckles? We do not have them, very very very rare you will see so much of freckles.

You are saying they are genetic :( If a desi gal marries a White, her kids will also have them :(

Re: May be a silly question....

Not necessarily.

Ive rarely seen mixed kids with freckles...in fact I dont remember one.

Is this the criteria for marriage? What the kids will look like?

Re: May be a silly question....

I think freckles are more likely in light-skinned people...whether they're desi or not. I know a few Pakistanis (both parents are paki) who are freckled... i have alot of moles here and there.

Re: May be a silly question…

but our freckles are different. they are 1st rare, 2nd very less. not like this :

Light skin and dark skin absorb sun light, especially UV rays, differently. Light skin is more prone to UV damage, that is why you see less freckles in African Americans.

Re: May be a silly question....

I dont think its much of a concern in mixed children...they dont inherit the full fledged freckles you're worried about.

Ive seen desies with freckles and and its not even remotely as bad as that.

Re: May be a silly question....

lol Fairytale, I think this is the last thing should come to your mind when marrying a non -Pakistani... plus kids with freckles look cute, I used to have them but all gone now.

Re: May be a silly question....

I get freckles all over my face in the summer so i have to use a high SPF cream.

Since he was young, my husband has had a few freckles on his nose and cheeks. He has a lot of moles/beauty spots on his body too.

My children are mixed race, and as of yet, they have no freckles or moles.

Two of my nieces and one of my nephews are not mixed race, and they have had freckles all over their faces since they were kids.

Re: May be a silly question....

Anyone gets freckles, My bfs sister has freckles and little bit of ginger hair.(shes full pakistani) It does look odd must say.
Im mixed race no freckles or moles. I have some beauty spots tho.

However in summer for some reason i get a few light ones.

Re: May be a silly question…

hmmmmm… so i think chances are 50-50%. :hinna:

Re: May be a silly question....

hahhaa i feel a bit discriminated...i have also freckles...n me also pure desi.....

but a friend of me she is even dark has also freckles its becuz also of the genes...

i know that there are people like lindsay lohan they do treatment against that becuz its too much...but my personal opinion is allah created us in that why so we shuld be thankful to that...

Re: May be a silly question....

It all depends on how strong ur genes are e.g. people with gingery hair, light skin, blue eyes with freckles have weak genes as compared to people with dark eye, dark skin etc etc.

Re: May be a silly question....

personally I think freckles look cute
