Colourism is bad but how your child lighter than both of you? Was someone in the family a passport bro

I remember my mom used to tell me "you are very light, like arab". It might just be a her thing then

That’s interesting. But aren’t there light skins in the North.

You should see my family. My parents are Dark skin and I’m the only Dark skin child. The rest of these kids are like brownish to very very light skin. But like on side of my family is very dark skin and the other is very light so makes sense.

I didn’t know about the knuckles thing until an old Caribbean coworker asked me to show him my knuckles cause he suspected I bleached

It’s a real easy way to find out tho, if someone is naturally light or bleached (other than the fact bleached folks look like ghosts)

It’s not always the case though, a lot of melanted people tend to have darker knuckles (slightly darker, not a huge amount). I remember zonjy(some west African) accusing an Eritrean girl of bleaching cuz her knuckles were one shade darker even though she wasn’t
