Miles' father is African-American and his mother is a Latina. According to a study I found, the average African-American has 73.2% African ancestry, 24% European, and 0.8% Native American. The average Latinos have 18% Native American ancestry, 65.1% European ancestry (mostly from the Iberian Peninsula), and 6.2% African ancestry.
So if we divide all those by half and add them we'll get, 39,7% African ancestry, 44,55% European ancestry and 9,4% Native American ancestry (with some margin of error here, it only adds up to 93,65 %).

This would mean Miles is (probably) whiter than he is black, so why does everyone keep calling him black?

Because hi's mother isn't born in American she's a first generation imigrant

Puerto Ricans are basically black culturally

Same reason why we don't call Obama white or asian ever.
Also, it would trigger the fuck out of Bendis.

The average person is 51% female, so why does everyone keep calling Miles a guy?

Black people genes are stronger.
Mix black people with any other race and they'll look still black.
Look at some black people around you, not everyone is as dark as an african person because during times of slavery the masters used to rape some of the female slaves and such.
Miles, for all intents and purposes, is black. His latino heritage is pretty irrelevant because they barely expand upon it, since latinos are racially varied so it's more about culture.

Isn't the entire first arc of his current book about it?

It's more about her grandma being an annoying bitch, which is a filthy lie since abuelitas are pure love.

Genetics doesn't work like this no matter how much people want it to.

>Strong Genes
Is that an actual thing. I always assumed they still "look black" because everyone just focuses on the black features but in reality they're a marriage of features being overlooked.

His Uncle DOES look like Snoop Dogg who's barely got any white in him.

I forgot the actual word so I used strong instead.
Recesive? Is it the opposite of that? I don't remember.

Dominant and recessive alleles/traits, yes.

Skin colour is a pretty terrible indicator of ancestry. For example 3.5% of white Americans have some African heritage but there is no way you could tell just by looking at them

>>84440606
That's my point.

This only works if in your head, anyone that looks Mixed-Race=Black
