Especially those we don’t expect.

Pete Wentz. Mariah Carey, Justin Timberlake

Pete Wentz is mixed race?????

Justin Timberlake isn't biracial or mixed race, he is just a wigger.

[quote] Pete Wentz is mixed race?????

[quote] Wentz is of English and German descent on his father's side and Afro-Jamaican descent on his mother's side....His maternal grandfather, Arthur Winston Lewis, served as the U.S. Ambassador to Sierra Leone; Arthur Winston Lewis' cousin was General Colin Powell.

thanks, r4, I never knew any of that!

R1 Mariah Carey isn't a man last I knew.

^Just realized this is for male celebs only...i'm dying

r9 I never liked their music, but always found Slash alluring and sexy

[quote] Mariah Carey isn't a man last I knew.

Her outfits make her look like a sausage and thus penis like.

Frank Dillane, who played the drug addict son on "Fear the Walking Dead". His dad is British actor Stephen Dillane, who played Stannis Baratheon on Game of Thrones, and his mother is listed as Afro-Jamaican in his IMDB bio.

The Rock, Tiger Woods, Bob Marley,

Drake, Lenny Kravitz, Bruno Mars

OP how is Ryan Phillipe biracial?

He began to corrupt many of the men.

Carol Channing. Dinah Shore, Angie Dickinson, Neal McDonough, Rob Schneider.

Carol Channing, Dinah Shore, and Angie Dickinson are not men.

Keanu Reeves, J Cole, Jesse Williams, Shemar Moore, Derek Jeter, Kris Humphries

Martin Gore.

His biological father is black - he was an American G.I stationed in Britain, Martin's mother didn't tell him until he was an adult.

I never knew Martin Gore of Depeche Mode was biracial. Gore is the principal songwriter for DM. I have been a DM fan since the early 80s. It was a missed opportunity for DM to present as an all-white group when the lyricist of "People Are People" is mixed race. I think it could have expanded its audience

Jordan Peele

"Those we don't expect" can go both ways. I was surprised to learn he has a white mother.

R25, his mother didn't tell him until 1992.

[quote] [R25], his mother didn't tell him until 1992.

Oh...

[quote] OP how is Ryan Phillipe biracial?

Phillippe.

Caitlyn Jenner

Jazz Jennings

Chaz Bono

Mary J Blige

We bought new sex organs in different colors!!!!!

R23 Oh yeah, dad must have been a real blue black African!

Isn’t Dean Cain? He always looked suspicious to me?

Didn’t John Depp always claim some Cherokee heritage, but can we trust anything he has ever said?

Eagle-Eye Cherry, I think, is tri-racial

I often wonder if the general public is as obsessed with this topic as DL is.

Has anyone mentioned Joseph Cotten?

R46 Check the post right above you.

R47, I was being facetious given that Joseph Cotten had already been mentioned twice prior to my post.

So the “Phillipe” person is just trolling?

[quote] Nigel Barker

Interesting now that you mention it.

Here is Eartha Kitt’s daughter and granddaughter.

R53 Who in that photo is a male? The cats?

I thought Wentworth Miller was Eartha Kitt’s daughter!

R55 And Justin Timberlake is completely white despite him trying to dance and sing like a black person.

R35 It’s genetics.

I’m biracial, my Dad and family are dark skinned but I came out incredibly white. Mariah Carey / Slash / Pete Wentz white, not Martin Gore / Halsey white.

Martin Gore is half Black American (African American) which means there’s a high chance of European genetics.

My fathers family has Irish genetics and my Mom is Irish. On my DNA tests, I’m 60% Irish.

That’s usually how biracial kids come out so white / light because there’s already white in the black genes.

R58 That's true. I read on Twitter that Halsey's father is only half black himself, so that would make her only a quarter black.

R58 Yet mixed people still want to call themselves black and insist on others doing the same. If you're more white than black, then how are you going to call yourself black?

How about celebrities that you thought were mixed but are not?

mine is Rita Ora.

R60 Usually biracial people identify as black because that’s how people perceive them and they’re fine with it.

The one drop rule is still a social perception in the US. White people are gatekeepers of whiteness and skin color is still judged.

White people will never look at Obama as white or refer to any biracial as a white person.

So I dunno what you’re talking about.

Personally as a biracial, erasing Mulatto was disappointing. A lot of biracial people I know still identify as Mulatto, including myself. Black / white ancestry is an American mix and biracial people have notably been progressive in civil rights throughout American history and it’s kind of all been erased. That’s how I see it.

R61 Taylor Lautner, Pete Davidson, John Hensley, and Alessia Cara for me.

I was surprised to find out Jennifer Beals was interracial and not Italian

R58 I'm also mixed and it's the same with me. I have enough ethnic features so that people know I'm something other than white, but they never guess that I'm half black. People have named all kinds of different countries they thought I was from. Usually either a Hispanic or Arabic country.

Hugh grant is half Irish and half French.

Eddie Van Halen was part Indonesian.

Datalounge is completely obsessed with race. I think this is the only place I've seen the designation "white-adjacent." According to DL rules of racial categorization even some white people are not white, so anyone with recent Black ancestry is never gonna be white.

[quote]Datalounge is completely obsessed with race. I think this is the only place I've seen the designation "white-adjacent."

It's mostly the work of just one indefatigable troll (best known as the Yellow Skin Troll), who has been here for more than a dozen years. He is obsessed with the idea of famous white people secretly being mixed-race, and will post about it constantly, sometimes self-satirically, but usually seriously. He is the troll who constantly uses the phrase "white-adjacent."

Marcus Schenkenberg. Bogdanoff Twins.

Carly Simon is of African descent.

Steven Tyler great, great grandfather black.

Johnny Depp is descendant of former slave Elizabeth Key Grinstead.

The one drop rule is stupid and America is the only Western nation that still wholeheartedly adheres to it. Peo should define themselves these days. Americans love to categorize everything and everyone, so sickening.

Jay Manuel

For the longest time I just assumed he was Hispanic because of his last name but I learned recently he is actually half black and half white.

It would be interesting to know how a lot of these people are biracial. I remember being surprised to learn Mark Paul Gosselar is half Fillipino.

Also, Jake Cannavale (son of Bobby, who has appeared in The Mandalorian and other shows) is part black (his great grandmother is Lena Horne).

R78, Mark Paul Gosselar's mom is Indonesian.

R78, thanks for the info on Bobby.

I was watching an old episode of Finding your roots on PBS and they had on Ava Duvernay. She was disappointed to hear that she had 25% European ancestry

So Jake Cannavale has a legitimate acting job now? Is that why his OF was shut down and expunged?

Chet Hanks likes to believe he’s half Black, but that’s just his wishful wigger thinking.

R74 Well because of slavery and Jim Crow.

I’m 34, my grandfather died in 2019 but my Grandma is in her late 70’s and they both grew up in the Jim Crow South. My Dad is in his 50’s and was born in a segregated hospital in Memphis.

Technically I’m the first born in my direct lineage to have been born outside of Jim Crow laws in my family. I’m 34.

Yeah it’s been 57 years since segregation ended but that’s not a lot of generations to be so far removed from the colorism this country has had for 400 years.

That’s why the US is the way it is. And the fact that they have a group of people who’s families have been here for 400 years and they’re still looked at as foreigners, even by European immigrant families who came over in the 1920s - 1960s.

Darren Barnet is 1/4 German 1/4 Native American and half Japanese

Nigel Barker is 1/4 Irish 1/4 Portuguese and half Sri Lankan

Henry Golding is half British and half Malaysian

Derrick Monasterio is half Filipino and 1/4 Italian 1/4 Jamaican

Jessica Alba's husband. Not a celebrity but celebrity adjacent.

I'm Native American and white and actually am light brown that looks yellow skinned. I work with a Hispanic Gen Z guy who is basically the same. We bonded over this, I said "I'm a little yellow" and he said "Yeah, so am I."

Lol yellow skin troll.

Pretty and accomplished young British footballer Trent Alexander-Arnold is half black immigrant Brit (father), half white American (mother). The black half definitely won that genetic battle.

It's hard to guess from where his father originally comes, and there is no information made public on the internet about that, but from the age of Mr. Arnold and the time of his arrival in Britain (c. mid-late 1970s-early 80s), and from how Trent and his brothers look it's safe to say it's probably a Windrush Caribbean ethnic/national background.

What's even funnier about Trent is that he doesn't share an accent with either parent; he's got a strong broad local Scouse (Liverpudlian) accent, from growing up, going to school and later working in Liverpool since childhood. As far as I know as a casual fan, Trent's been to the U.S. maybe once in his entire life Ion tour with his football club), and the Caribbean a few times on holiday. He's very much a proud English lad and not eager to leave or be associated with anywhere else.

^^as a visual check, looking at Trent next to definite ethnic Caribbeans & Africans reveals the likely story.

Here's Trent next to his England national football squad teammate Tyrone Mings, who is of confirmed Bajan ethnicity, and standing close by his other England teammate, Tammy Abraham (full legal name Kevin Oghenetega Tamaraebi Bakumo-Abraham), who is of Nigerian ancestry. It's clear Trent much more shows a light-skinned Caribbean phenotype, hair type and colouring.

Both Archie and Reggie from "Riverdale" -- K.J. Apa and Chris Melton

Vice President Kamala Harris.

About half the NBA and NFL.

R21 Dinah Shore wasn't biracial. Parents were Jewish immigrants from Russia. Rumor was started by female singer (Jo Stafford?) to kill Dinah's career.
