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 alabaster skinned redhead, and Maria has their part-Jamaican mother's dark skin and hair.

The girls were born to a white father and a biracial mother in 1997. No one ever believes we are twins".

Even when we dress alike, we still don't look like sisters, let alone twins". Maria said they've been told the chances of such an occurrence are " one in a million". No matter the odds the sisters say they are happy with how they look.

 Maria loves telling people at college she has a white twin and am proud of having a black twin Lucy said,
