They occur in around 80% of Asians, and 80% to 85% of Native American infants. Approximately 90% of Polynesians and Micronesians are born with slate grey nevus, as are about 46% of children in Latin America, where they are associated with non-European descent. These spots also appear on 5–10% of babies of full Caucasian descent. African American babies have slate grey nevus at a frequencies of 90% to 96%.

Thanks for the elaborate answer, I somehow took your original posts in a more aggressive tone than you probably meant them.

Just some short remarks:

OK, that is seriously lacking in mod tools then
Ah okay, if other people reported it as well, that makes it more understandable, but we as non-mods can't see that (at least I don't know how)

3.Thanks for the mod work! It is a thankless job and you need to interact with people like me. I see from your response that your heart is in the right place.
