What is the word called for someone who looks white but is really black?
You are probably referring to the condition known as Albinism. It is where your skin is unable to produce melanin (pigment) which is more plentiful in people with darker skin. No one in the world is truly "black", and you can be born with "Caucasian" pigmented skin without having Albinism. You can also be born "black" while your parents are both "white". Skin tone is dictated by many factors in your genes.
What are the chances of having an albino child if the mother is white and the father is black?
Both parents must be carriers of the recessive "albinism" gene. For people who do not have albinism, there is only a 1 in 100 chance that they are carriers of the recessive gene. If both parents are normally pigmented, that is, neither one of them has albinism, but they both happen to be carriers of the recessive "albinism" gene. Then there is a 1 in 4 chance they will have a child with albinism each time they concieve. One person in 17,000 in the U.S.A. has some type of albinism.
