Why Should This Baby Take The Baby Modelling World By Storm?

Surely he is just another 'white baby', regardless of the fact that he was born to a black mother, at least his father is white.

It says why in the artcile....

He looks like a normal baby. I can't imagine he'll "take the baby-modelling world by storm".

[Old_Geezer]

Don't know why this should be a skin colour issue. Unsure why the comment "at least" in the OP. I'd agree the baby doesn't look anything out of the ordinary, but who knows why or what the modelling industry looks for.

Possibly because he is a white baby with black facial features which makes him quite unusual.

[B00]

No idea, he's not even particularly cute either.

[bednobs]

my nephew was almost white when he was born. As the years go on, he gets darker - as may this babay

[andy-hughes]

AOG - " ... at least his father is white."

Thank heavens for that eh!!!

Babies are babies... all boring and only a thing of beauty to the parents and grandparents. When they get to about 30, then they start to look interesting !

The modelling agencies see a quality that I can't find.

Not sure about the comment 'at least his father is white' is all about. That is an odd thing to say.

My 8 year old Grandson is white with gingery hair, his Dad is black

[sp1814]

He is not just another white baby. He is, in fact, a baby with very unusual features. The vast majority of mixed race children do not have his colouring or straight hair...and the reason why he might take the modelling world by storm, is because he now has a heightened public profile.

However, I should add, that it's the Daily Mail reporter making that claim, rather than anyone from the five modelling agencies he is signed with.

[sp1814]

Also, I believe that what AOG meant, was that if this child's colouring was down to an inherent gene from her said if the family, and his father had been black, it would have caused no end of problems/accusations.

That fact that his dad *is* white means that the mother didn't get accused of having an affair.

Nothing sinister, just a statement of fact, "at least is father is white" had he been black, then that would have been extremely unusual.

That Sir is very much below you, unless you have been on this site for that long, that some of the vile comments of others have rubbed off on you.

What are you suggesting? Come on stop hiding behind the flock and come straight out with it, or apologise instantly.

But then the baby would have no genetic input from his father, which is what makes his appearence unusual - he would simply be a white baby.

I do apologise instantly AOG, and wish to withdraw any implication from my post.

Having seen sp's explanation, I now understand the meaing behind your post.

I was too quick to assume an unpleasant hint from your post which was in my imagination, rather than in your post.

Again - apologies.
