I find it crazier Marliya has black ancestry on both sides, more than someone like Zenaya, and is as light as she is
Marliyas parents are only mixed race themselves making marliya only a quarter so why is it so shocking shes come out light skin/blue eyed? Genetics vary and can leave a child looking like a grandparent, aunt, uncle and so on. In her case she is a replica of her nan maggie. I think its a bit weird for people to be discussing her race or debating how she ‘should’ look based on her parents looks.. especially as shes just a child
 
I'm mixed race myself and I'm still so shocked that people don't understand that our children can come out either colour or a mix of both. Me and my bros are all different shades of brown, nieces and nephews browns/white, varying eye colour and hair texture. A friend of mine who is white and I've known for years, said to me recently, I look like I could have 2 black parents instead of being mixed! I'm probably a tad bit darker than sassi lol. I was like I could be so much darker and still have a white mum. Look at Heidi klums kids with seal, they are dark. It's beyond annoying.

I’m mixed race and very aware of how genetics work. My comment was after someone was surprised she has blue eyes. I wasn’t trying to insinuate anything or saying she should look a certain way.
 
I still can’t see ep6 on paramount? Has this happened to anyone else? I have paramount on an app on my iPad but also checked on sky and it’s not there either
