how mixed race people have a skin tone that is in between their parents’ skin tone, if Mendel’s law of dominance is true?

Medals dominant and recessive genes are only PARTLY true. It turns out biology is more complex than that. That phrase can be just looped on repeat for god-damned repeat for nearly all elementary, high-school, AND college education. Biology is just chock-full of exceptions and extremely weird shit.
But skin-tone, like IQ, height, and chance of cancer, is regulated by many parts of our DNA and there’s not a single thing doing the dominant/recessive tango between our two sets code.
