When Amanda and Michael Biggs’s twins were born via artificial insemination, they had already been married for over ten years and were from Birmingham, England. Although Amanda hoped to have mixed-race children because she is white and her husband Michael is of Jᴀᴍᴀɪᴄᴀn origin, they were not prepared for this eventuality.
Marcia Millie Madge and Millie Marcia Madge Biggs were born on July 3, 2006. From the start, their personalities were noticeably different. While her sister was a bit braver and kinder, Millie was shy.
However, their nature was not the only thing that varied significantly. It wasn’t until a few months later that they realized the babies had completely different skin tones at birth. Marcia’s sister had significantly darker skin, while her sister’s hair and complexion were lighter. Even their kindergarten teachers “didn’t want to accept that they were sisters,” the mother recalled of how, as the girls got older, many people questioned if they were really related.
Cases of girls are extremely rare, but not impossible. According to Amanda, her children are a “miracle in a million. Despite initial mistrust, the mother says that she has received an overwhelmingly good response. She also states that while some people have expressed interest in them, this is mostly out of pure curiosity.
The mother claimed that she did not find RACISM when people questioned her daughters, just constant curiosity. Scientists argue that instead of having distinct and clearly defined categories, “race” is a much more socially defined term. The ᴀᴄᴄɪᴅᴇɴts of history have caused observable distinctions between various populations. Meanwhile, Marcia and Millie, who are now adults, also claim to be RACIST. The father of the daughters affirms that the current situation is significantly better than in the past.
Another set of twins told a similar story in 2015. Lucy and Maria Aylmer, both natives of Gloucester, say they have also had to answer numerous queries from skeptics in their lives. Maria, who was born with darker skin, remembers how she used to covet her brother’s lighter skin and straight hair when she was little. She absolutely doesn’t like her curly hair. And Lucy claimed that because of her pale skin tone, she was often called names at school, told that her parents should have adopted her, and ridiculed as a ghost.
