Why is Laurent black?[not be racist,but] Aren't ALL vampires supposed to be pale?

not all vamps are pale there are black ones(not trying to be racist) they just have a pale undertone! (i was really impressed with it in the movie)

Well, I guess that not all Twilight vampires have to be pale from...well, what u just said; Laurent is black. Perhaps whether a vampire becomes pale of not depends on his/her ethnicity. If a vampire was Caucasian of Asian, any ethnic background that allows them to have white skin, then maybe they are the ones who are shockingly pale. However, if a vampire was African-American of Hispanic of any other ethnicity that makes the person have a dark skin color, they keep the skin color they had when they were human. So maybe this explains why Laurent, unlike most vampires, is so dark skinned.

And don't worry, it doesn't sound racist at all! That's actually a pretty good vraag to me :)

That's my guess...

no really black vampires are darker and white vampires are pale ok???

i dont know...i kinda thought the same.

so totally weird!!!! When i saw the movie i was like,OMG so weird!!!!!

well he was a black human so he would only look a little pale. and wasnt Laurent sapposed to be a white french man in the books?
