So lemme get this straight....


Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is black, yet in this movie, his ex-wife is white, BUT his daughter is white, played by Alexandra Daddario. OKAY! She has NO black features. She talks white, looks white, IS white. Phew! Glad i got that outta the way. It's movies like this, aside from the obvious far-fetched parts of it, that drive me crazy. OH yeah, doesn't the fact that The Rock sounds like obama compound the whole thing?

Who cares. And really? That was your big complaint?Have you seen the rest of this impractical film?

People aren't watching this hot far-fetched garbage for biological and scientific accuracy.

Phew! Glad we got that out of the way.

Dwayne Johnson is actually Samoan, not "Black". Black is a color, not a race. And Samoan is not the same as an Afri-American.

Technically, he is half black and half Samoan. So mixed race. Gugino is half English and half Italian. Thus, their daughter would be 1/4 black, 1/4 Samoan, 1/4 English and 1/4 Italian.

Apparently, the English was dominant.

Boy, did YOU make a fool of yourself in your suppositions.

You're in the class we call ignorant racists.

Dwayne Johnson is black?

I posted this in another topic:

Both mother and daughter had black hair. That is a dominant. Dwayne Johnson is black and Samoan. His coloring is more white than black, though certainly not cliche white.

A black and white parent are more likely to have children with a mixture of characteristics from both parents; skin likely brown, hair dark, eyes dark. Features can run the gamut. However, it is entirely possible for a child to appear completely black or completely white.

The classic experiment (which is simplistic, but illustrates the point) is a black mouse and a white mouse. (by which we are referring to their hair color). If they have 4 offspring, the probabilities (which are not definitively what will happen) is one completely white mouse, one completely black mouse and two mottled black and white.

As I noted above, both mother and daughter had black hair. I believe their eyes were dark, though it has been awhile since I've seen the movie. So, this is a likely scenario.

If the daughter had blonde hair, that would be a genetic issue. (though if Dwayne's character had any blonde haired ancestors, even one, the recessives could combine to blonde hair.)
