I once watched a South African farmer unconvincingly trying to prove that nature supports apartheid. That was even in post-apartheid South Africa. But it seems nature has its own way of refuting man's lies and God has ample means of powerfully expressing where He stands.

UK twins turn heads: One is white, the other black
By Michael Pearson, CNN
Here's a pair of twins no one will have trouble telling apart: One is white, and one is black. Thanks to a rare quirk of nature, Lucy is the alabaster-skinned redhead, and Maria has their part-Jamaican mother's dark skin and hair.
Images of the Aylmer sisters of Gloucester, United Kingdom, rocketed around the Internet this week when a British newspaper carried their story.
"I can't stop crying! This is all so amazing," Lucy Aylmer posted on Facebook. The girls were born to a white father and a biracial mom in 1997, according to the Daily Mail story that started all the fuss.
'No one ever believes we are twins," the newspaper quoted Lucy Aylmer as saying. "Even when we dress alike, we still don't look like sisters, let alone twins." Appearing Tuesday on "Good Morning Britain," the sisters said they're always facing doubters who can't believe they are related, much less twin sisters. Some even asked whether Lucy was adopted, she told the show.

That's nice! It shows that the appearance differences are not really important for human being, but actually they're small details: even twins can appear very different!
