My dad when he use to be a cop, went to black couple's house to file a missing person's report, their son. He was their son by blood...However, he was white skin, with ginger hair. And his parents were both black, with black freatures. He was white with black features. So whos knows, maybe the OC could been white with indadin features?

Unless this kid was like 1 out of ALMOST NEVER/RARE cases.. Well, this is a good notice, but this OC had a good lack of Native American traits (light brown hair was the main offender) The example you brought up flamette reminds me of Shaun Ross, the firt model with albinism (and yes, he's black). Though the condition in general is rare for all races, It's not that uncommon for folks who aren't white to have it. You can find out more on the subject right here if you wish~

As for anything else, there's a difference between having white skin while having dark-skinned parents and looking more like the white parent in an interacial family setting. Sometimes a bi-multiracial kid will look like a combination of both parents, which may even inclue include light eyes and hair in rarer cases though it's definitely possible. Other times a child will look more like one parent over the other. Someone can still have one non-white parent and "pass" as white because genetics are weird.

The problem with Cantori appearing white isn't so much her actual appearance (because while it may seem rare, it happens sometimes) so much as the person who made her used it as anexcuse for her character being a rebel. It's almost like saying Apple can't be the next snow White because her hair is blonde and not "dark as ebony". But in this case, it's actually even more insulting since the creator is basically implying that because Cantori doesn't look like her mom, she therefore doesn't have the right to claim an important part of her heritage. I think the Apple hair color thing is plain out dumb. Sure, she may have blonde hair instead of black hair, but she can still be Snow White. All that has to change is instead of "hair dark as ebony" instead be "hair like a clean apple core". Plus, maybe she got her hair from her dad. Unrelated, I know, it's just much more plausible to me than others.
