Houston to LA like I'm Robert Horry.
Would you notice it if you and your family went out together? Did strangers make comments?

I had this same problem. I'm dark skinned but both my parents are light brown with my brother being high yellow. Family photos, kinda awkward. I got some recessive genes from 2 dark grandparents out of 4. If it wasn't for the fact that I physically looked exactly like my father I'd look adopted :wow:

As a child I never realized it, but in my teens I'd be lying if didn't bother me somewhat. Luckily I was a male and relatively decent looking so it didn't bother me as much as it could have. I brought it up to my mom once though and she kinda flipped out on me. Thank god my family wasn't on some ignorance in that department.

My best friend is dark skinned and i dont see what priveleges i have over him.

I think this more applies to people living i poverty.
