When I saw this article I really wanted to learn more about it. I think it is so amazing that there can be two completely different looking brothers, twins at that. I have always hated how people how judged by their appearances and differences. I hope others who read this article will learn to accept and appreciate the differences in others.

Many of the world's greatest pairs come in black and white. Oreos, black and white milkshakes, designer outfits, and so much more. This dynamic duo has been taken to the next level. A set of twins were born and are drastically different. One has very dark skin and the other is extremely light. People wondered how twins could look so different from each other. Since the boys are fraternal twins, two different sperms fertilized two different eggs allowing their genes and physical traits to vary greatly, even though they were only born minutes apart. This is living proof that skin color doesn't matter when it comes to being family, friends, or acquaintances. We are all different and should embrace that. It is what makes us all unique.
