What's his ethnicity?


I saw shaft
he played Latino.
it was good.
in that role he said ugly racial things to real black Sam Jackson.
His Latino charactor will go mad when he is treated as a blackman.

When I saw his nice performance in Angels in America,
the patient Al Pacino says "get out you N"
And Jeff(Norman the nurse) is acting very much African desent.
and friends of the charactor Norman treats him very much African desent.

This series shows a little bit how the world is unkind to these people.

To me, his skin is quite bright.
Quite mixed blood I think.

He is a black American. His own words.


I was compelled to stay, compelled to disobey.

Obama claims that he is black but we all know better. you cant just choose your race. Obama's mother is as about as white as you can get.She doesn't count? You can as easily just say he is white and that also would be incorrect. Morgan freeman said it best when he said this: "Barack had a mama, and she was white -- very white American, Kansas, middle of America. There was no argument about who he is or what he is. America's first black president hasn't arisen yet. He's not America's first black president, he's America's first mixed-race president."
