Another example of how the wrong conclusions can be drawn - I had a young student (teenager) who assumed that blue eye color was a dominant trait based on the prevalence of blue eyes in the people he knew.

When I was little, I thought the same thing, lol. |

North Americans are still frequently shocked at the idea that "white" people can have "dark" parents or grandparents: |
That is because in North America most of the time it usually is a nanny case because it is extremely common for W.A.S.P families to hire dark skin Hispanic women to be the nanny of their fair skin children/child. I have seen Hispanic women who look like pure Aztecs taking children who look like they came straight out of Scandinavia for a stroll in the park. That is a common sight here in California. |
