    Yes, I do. My natural hair color is reddish brown, but I'm not a redhead. I was blonde as a kid.

    Of these variants, Asp294His, Arg142His, Arg151Cys and Arg160Trp revealed the highest associations with ephelides in our study. His260Pro was also associated with ephelides.

    You can check the other studies from the wiki page too.

    No matches for those markers. At least on 23andMe.

    Needless to say you are not white if you don't have freckles.

    I do. Mostly in my nose and cheekbones. But they are not that visible without increased sunlight exposure.

    Nope. not freckled at all. My brother used to have red freckles (and glodenish hair) as a child but his hair darkened and although he is Vampire white, he burns but never gets freckles anymore.

    Not at all, thankfully (I think they're a feminine trait). And many whites do not have them anyway.

    I don't think having freckles makes you "whiter". Heck, there are olive-skinned people with freckles.
