Well, not really interesting, but I thought some people might be interested in it regardless. It's about fraternal twins who are, to the naked eye, two completely different races (despite having the same parents).
Of course, this also explains (I assume) why in non-mixed black families, you have children of all different colors - African-American people (excepting recent immigrants from Africa, who often don't seem to fall under the same heading, for reasons I don't understand if race is supposed to be a vaguely scientific instead of social concept) are all, to an extent, mixed (due of course to the tragic nature of slavery, do I have to say this?).
