What do quadroons look like?

[ThePozzedOutCritic]

It would depend what they're mixed with. There's not just one kind of black and one kind of white.

Malcom Gladwell is a famous one

Read the thread title, thought it was about a "quad troon" somehow. Like if four troons were packed in one somehow. I know that doesn't make sense but it was the first thought that came to mind. We don't need more disasters in the world.

Halsey

Nicole Richie (birth parents apparently have some black)

Rashida Jones

Redfoo

Pete Wentz

Wentworth Miller

Tori Kelly

Jennifer Beals (although she might be more than 25%)

Jesse Williams is probably more than 25%, but his blue eyes point to his dad also having European ancestry

Dwayne Johnson's dad looks pretty mixed

Adriana Lima is like 15% black or something

For some, I couldn't tell at a glance, for some I could. How far do you have to dilute for certain traits to no longer express? 1/8? 1/16? 1/32?
How do you end up 15%? That's a little more than 1/8, but a lot less than 1/4. You have to get into phrenology to see it in Adriana Lima.
I wish I was ignorant about genes. There are too many patterns I notice and it makes me feel insane.
