Tom is white, and Helen is black. They have a black daughter and
a white son. Is it true that in real life, when a white man marries a black woman, they have a black daughter and a white son? |

The DNA lake is a complicated thing
LEt's go with the Base that the man is white and the woman is black, and that they have a son and daughter for purposes here only. Based on genetic variables, these are the possibilites: D=White S=White D=Black S=Black D=Black S=White D=White S=Black D=Mixed (A Tan-ish color) S=White D=Mixed S=Black D=White S=Mixed D=Black S=Mixed D=Mixed S=Mixed |

Of course, you've also got to factor in the rare chance of albinoism
