Why do Michael Jackson's children look White?

They don’t all look white — only his daughter, Paris Jackson, looks white. And even then, anyone who knows mixed people knows that sometimes, a mixed-race child comes out looking more like one of his parents than the other.

Take for instance the actor Alfonso Ribeiro, famous for his role in the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. He’s a very dark-skinned black man who married a very light-skinned blonde woman. They have three kids together, and he has one daughter from a previous marriage, look at his family below:

Ribeiro’s youngest son and daughter have blonde hair and bright blue eyes. His older son has brown hair and also has light eyes. And even his oldest daughter is very fair-skinned. Two of Ribeiro’s children could pass for caucasians just as easily as Michael Jackson’s kids could…

The mother of Michael Jackson’s oldest two children, Debbie Rowe, is a very light-skinned white woman. Blonde hair and bright blue eyes. It is not at all far-fetched that her children would come out with lighter brown or dark blonde hair and with light eyes. Genetically speaking, this is entirely in the realm of possibilities…

Why do Michael Jackson’s kids look white? Well, at least two of them have a white mother. The youngest kid, Bigi Jackson, has a Latina mother and looks more Latin. All three of them look mixed to me. Having mixed race children is a gamble — sometimes the child comes out looking like the one parent’s race, sometimes like the other’s. Michael Jackson could very well be these kids’ biological father. Any rumors to the contrary are really just that… rumors.
