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%.

Maybe flag this as NSFW?

i'm guessing that you're not writing about the article but the photo used in that Wikipedia article.

what's nsfw about a photo of a 6 months old baby, used to demonstrate the birthmark that's the subject of the article?

are even baby bums nsfw now?
