There are green-eyed Asians and blond aborigines. I suppose anything is possible... If there was a god, He definitely didn't use a paint-by-number kit. He used the whole palate:

I've got brown hair and brown eyes and some freckles. It just happens. Some people have them, others don't. Some gingers have freckles, some don't.

I have light blond hair and jet black eyes...and sort of light olive skin...

Come to think of it I think African American women with freckles are really pretty....if people with African decent can have freckles, why can't you??

It's not such a bad thing....it probably makes you look interesting, since it's usually redheads with freckles.....

No, it is more common or visible in people with 'fair' traits (blond or red hair, blue or green eyes) ... but freckles are merely some areas of skin that are darker than surrounding areas. Even people of African descent can have freckles.

Read up about melanin. Skin pigmentation varies with melanin concentrations in the skin. Melanin helps protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation, so sunlight exposure can be an influential factor.
