20 Suprising Multi-Racial Celebs

20 Multiracial Celebrities (Some May Surprise You!)

Nowadays, especially in the U.S., being biracial or even multiracial is extremely common. In many cases, you can easily tell that someone is biracial but there are some people who look like they’re mixed, but you can’t exactly tell with what. Here are 15 celebrities that are shockingly multiracial!

Naomi Campbell

Naomi Campbell’s paternal grandmother was Chinese, making her 1/4 Chinese.

Races: Negroid, Mongoloid and Caucasoid.
Most of the combos listed were nationalities or ethnicities…

Ryan Lochte..part Cuban…swimming….jokes?

The shocking list would be “Celebs who aren’t mixed” isn’t this America? That means they are just like the rest of us.

Yt’s are funny, because how can someone be half Jewish! That’s like saying someone is half Christian! I guess i’m half Kemetian, but i forgot those rules don’t apply to blacks!
- qtpi
  
  Exactly! Half-jewish? WHen was Jewish a race?
  - chuckleberry74
    
    Being Jewish is an ethnicity as well as a religion. Traditionally, one is considered Jewish – or half-Jewish – through the mother.
qtpi

What a stupid list. Being a quarter this, or a quarter that, does not make one bi-racial. Maybe, multi-ethnic. There is the Black race, or White race. Chinese, Syrian, whatever the hell else are not races, but ethnicities.
- WOW
  
  Black is not a race.
- Kayo
  
  Spaniards are White.
  - HotMedusa
    
    Spaniards are at best Caucasian; saying that they are “white” is subjective…especially in the U.S.
    - Michael P
      
      There is a difference between Spaniards and Latinos. Pure Spaniards are white Europeans. Latinos are usually meant as descendents of the Spaniards who mixed with the Natives in the New World or they could also be the Native Americans themselves.

    sorry dude spaniards are not white even Portuguese and Italians you jews,arabs belong to other race

  You’re an idiot. East Asians (Japan, China, Korea etc) are a race.

I thought this was an interracial list not a inter-nationality list…boooo
TheVoiceOfReason101

Whoever wrote this list must have just come out from under a rock! WTF! First off, Jewish is a religion not a race. Secondly, as a Bi-Racial individual, I find it offensive when you say half black and half white… we don’t half a line right down the middle of our bodies or zebra stripes. Thirdly, you seem to be surprised that there are white skinned Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Argentinians, etc…! And by the way, in today’s society, who doesn’t have a little mixed race in them. Pure ignorance!

  I’m half Jewish. my dads grandparents came to america from Britain, Germany, and Poland but they were all swarthy semites, and spoke hebrew as their native tongue
  - blah
    
    Then you are half of semitic ancestry, but not a half-jew. How would you do that? Do you wear half a kippah?
- Michael P
  
  Judaism is a religion. When you speak of the Semitic Jewish peoples, then it is a race/ethnicity.
The Hell is this Effery

There is no such thing as race! There’s no “white race” or “black race” either to that other poster. It is a social construct meant to separate individuals and justify injustice to one group or groups of people. This is a list of nationalities and “ethnicities” which in themselves are delineated by a thin line.
- Thenji Maynard
  
  In fact there’s an assumption here that the percentages derive from “pure” races. When they say someone is half-white and half-black, they assume that the two sides are “pure.” That pseudo-science has long been laid to rest. If you read the captions about some of the “surprises” – comments such as “shockingly enough,” “strangely enough” – confirms a certain biological determinism – as if the “races” did not stay in their lanes when they made their choices to procreate.
- Michelle Yvette Jackson
  
  Thank you. There is no such thing as race. The first people from Africia traveled the world and the physical changes described as race are due to environmental adaptation. Languages, cultures, religions etc. developed and changed as well. There’s no such thing as racial purity. Men/women who come to power and wealth create elaborate systems in attempt to insure reputations, their descendents survivial and/or domination. We are made to read about their relevance in history books or on one Forbes list. The only color that ever really mattered was the color of your currency.

I was hoping to hear about Michael Ealy’s configurations, and more African Americans. I guess the list had to be selective….why? Your guess is as good as mine.

“Jewish” is a religion..not a race!

  that’s what i thinking who made this list
- Ella
  
  you’re serious, aren’t you? -_- judaism is a religion. However, if you would please utilize Google, wikipedia, or an encyclopedia, you’ll find that it is also considered a race/ethnic group. some people are born Jewish because of their mother. they don’t practice the religion. there has been plenty of research determining that it is a race. Go look up what “race” is.

        The Common Jewish Ancestry , I Think Extends Back TO The Middle East, Otherwise, Arabia, So Its Safe to Say That Jews Are A Mix Of Semitic And Hamitic , but more Semitic And As Such Should Be Considered, Arabian Or European. Either Way Indians Are A Separate Race

I hate when i hear people say that I, a person of black decent talk like a white boy just because i took it upon myself to make sure that i am an educated and we ll read and spoken man. Ignorance only makes you look ignorant with the things you say. and no sir, i am not attacking you in any way just giving my opinion
    - MikhaelMeir
      
      While it’s true that being Jewish is not a “race”, it is considered a
      national/ethnic group. It’s true that people with no ethnic Jewish
      descent can and do convert to the Jewish religion, and always have ,
      but in so doing they effectively join the Jewish nationality and
      converts (or their children) often marry people who are born Jews, thus
      most Jews alive today share a common biological descent from ancient
      Israel. Judaism is a religion, being a Jew need not only mean that you
      follow or adhere to that religion.
    - pfeiffer87
      
      It’s a more difficult distinction than that. The dna and religion is blended in such a way that it is difficult to define as one thing or another. There is such a thing as a Jewish “race” – the genetics prove that. There are many different types of Jews ashkenazi, Shephardic etc. However, I would argue that there’s no such thing as race at all and that it is a man made construct. Different ethnicities, backgrounds, culture, language, yes. But there’s only one race, the HUMAN race and the quicker we realise that the better for us all.
  - rpp1986
    
    You might want to do some research yourself. There are THREE races – Caucasion, Negroid, Mongoloid.
  - chitchat
    
    You should be the one doing research, Ella. There are Sephardic Jews, Ashkenazi Jews, etc. who all have different racial makeup and ancestry. When we say “Jewish” in America or focus research on diseases prevalent among Jews, we are usually referring to the Ashkenazis who happen to be primarily white and European. That doesn’t mean that all of the other Jewish groups share that ethnic background.

      Not a race. We were never a race, even when all those following Judaism could be found altogether in one place: we started as a subset of a group of what would today be called Iraqi.
  - Fed_Up18
    
    According to Jewish law, ALL people with Jewish mothers are Jewish, whether they choose to follow the religion or not. However, since you can NOT be born Jewish if it just your father who is Jewish, then it cannot be considered a race. People outside Judaism are very often confused by our rules & try to understand them using the wrong guidelines, hence, Judaism gets called a race. Add to this the fact that bigots who hate Jews treat it exactly the same way as they do races they hate & the confusion just grows.
    
    There is no research anywhere “determining that it is a race.” There is research that links scattered peoples through DNA. You have the same DNA as your parents – is your family a race?

  Jewish is not just a religion. WE also consider it a race….America decides who checks what on forms! Educate yourself. I grew up in Israel, there are black jews(Beta israel..ethiopians), there are german jews, there are american jews, there are Israeli jews, there are syrian jews, there are jews from france, there are russian jews..and the list goes on…careful what you write ….BTW…I’m Jewish

    As with any other religion !
    There are black muslims, arab muslims, white muslims, asian muslims… are they a race now ?!
    Funnily enough there are black christians, white christians, arab christians and asian christians… WOW ALL THESE RACES.
    
    Judaism is not a race- it is a religion whose followers are as diverse as any other faith. So I suggest educating yourself.

Seriously though aren’t we all multi-racial? I mean outside of Asia you don’t find many who aren’t multi-racial.
- Berengere French
  
  No, we are not all multiracial. One is multiracial when you comes from more than 2 racial ethnic orientations…i.e. Spanish, African, Asian. One is biracial when you come from two ethnic orientations… i.e. African, Caucasian. If one is Irish and Scottish and English… one is not multiracial because one is still considered caucasian. There has to be a true cross ethnic mixture for someone to be multiracial or biracial. And oftentimes, people confuse multiracial with biracial. There is a difference and there’s nothing wrong with understanding things as they truly are.
  - Kristina_S2
    
    I understand what you’re trying to say but what I’m trying to say is as far as ethnically/racially/culturally diverse countries are concerned no one is 100% anything. It gets dumb after a while trying to name every racial, ethnic, etc.. ONE person has, and while its presumptuous to look at someone and ask how are they multiracial when they look “JUST BLACK” or “JUST WHITE”, anyone that is “JUST BLACK” or “JUST WHITE” could say they’re multiracial because its not something you can tell by just looking at someone.

  Then don’t, nobody asked you to tell them. Its not their fault for not knowing so don’t blame them. FYI don’t take the intuitive on asking them then you wont get mad. If you didn’t assume that you needed to explain to them, then obviously you wouldn’t get tired would you?. Take note: think if you need to educate yourself if people really need you to “educate” them first, because from the looks of it, you do.

As with many other discussions about race that I’ve read, this list is based on assumptions that people have about race, ethnicity and nationalities. I saw a few people on this list that were called “mixed” because a parent was Puerto Rican, Cuban or Mexican. These “mixes” as based assumptions that that parent automatically had to be of mixed descent. Typically when Americans hear that a person is Mexican, Cuban or Puerto Rican, a certain image stereotypical image comes to mind without knowing the full range of what a person from that nation could possibly look like. For example, if someone from Nigeria told someone that his Nigerian friend was “mixed with American”, what type of image would come to that person’s mind? An American could look like anything. This is my point. Although Americans tend to think of one image of a Mexican, there are descendants of Africans in Mexico as well as people who look as white as any white German. We can’t assume what Kid Cudi’s father looked like simply because we know he was Mexican. If his father was a black Mexican, would we still be calling him “mixed”? This is also true of Vanna White. Who knows if her Puerto Rican father didn’t look white? But because of the Puerto Rican label, we automatically assume that her father had to be of “mixed” race. Same with a Cuban. A Cuban could be of primarily Spanish descent, primarily African descent or something of a mixture. Without knowing the origins of people of various nationalities, the discussion on “race” and “mixture” sounds ridiculous.
- Anonymous
  
  PREACH! You can be half Cuban and half Irish and be of the SAME race: Caucasian! Also, Naomi Campbell is of West Indian descent, not African-American, but they didn’t say which Island she’s from yet the Caribbean Hispanic celebrities got the Islands they’re from. Why are ppl trying to make Hispanics this new race? They’re no different than Americans. They’ve got their Blacks, their Whites, their Native Americans/Asians, and everything in between!
  - merrakesh
    
    Personaly as an African American I am GLAD that you are pointing that out… I think Naomi Campbell is an embarrassment. There a plenty of people with black skin who are tagged as “african american” when they do something horrible but when they do something good the entire caribbean community wants to start waving flags!
    - paulette33
      
      How could Naomi Campbell be “African-American”? She’s British. So even if she was black-African she would not be African American. I do agree she is an embarrassment. Why Mandela is friends with her is beyond my comprehension. She is cruel and vicious.

      As the first person in my family to born in America I do not claim to be an African American. I am black person of Haitian descent. Despite others perceiving all black people or other races to be the same, that is not the case and where a lot of ignorance lies (not stupidity but rather a lack of knowledge). For example, West Indian blacks are completely different from Black American Culture. Our upbringing, values, traditions, state of mind, history, some of our physical features, and even our struggles are different somewhat.
      That is why Hispanics (those from the Islands) and Latinos (Those who are from Mexico, Latin America, etc) don’t like getting mixed up. I can only amagine what people who are mixed are going through. In the end this whole political correct things is so annoying and all b/c we don’t want to “offend” people when it can in fact do the very thing your trying to avoid. Keep it simple, just ask the person what do they consider themselves.When asked about my race I tell them that I’m either Haitian American, Carribean American, or just black.

        Hmmmmm, @Fabulous, you seem to suffer from the same afflction of ignorance of many of your Caribbean cohorts…that Haitians, Jamaicans and the others are NOT of African descent. Some of us landed in America and others landed in Haiti, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Brazil, and so on. ANd you also need to get a grasp on the idea of the differences between race, ethnicity and heritage.
      - Ruthie
        
        @yahoo-2SPEKPPLAG5CJCDSCXMDSH2AOM:disqus, Fabulous is not saying she is not of African descent. What she is saying is that she is not African-American. This is just a fact not a judgment. Nothing wrong with using the term Black instead of African-American. That is what I use because it is more accurate. I was not born in the US or in Africa but I am Black.

I’m Boricua or maybe, puertorican, and at worst, you may call me Latino, but never, ever ‘Hispanic’; That’s a label invented recently by the ‘american’ government for the purpose of grouping all people originating from Spanish-speaking countries to make it easier during surveys and to discriminate, of course! We are not one group or ‘race’. But you know what, if you know me, call me Milo, and if you want to know what I really am, I’m a human being!

        This is so true. If we are talking about skin colour then look at the East Indians and North Africans. The East Indians can be very dark but they are considered Caucasian or Asian. The North Africans are part Arabic and not at all African as we know Africans to be.
      - CC
        
        Since when is East Indians considered Caucasians . Maybe Asian. WHAT!!!!! North Africans are a mix of African and Arabic. They are still African decent. WHAT IS WRONG WITH BEING AFRICAN!!!!!
      - http://PolyKhromeGames.blogspot.com/ Brian Lockett
        
        Actually, East Indians are technically a “Caucasoid” people–it’s determined by their features, not their skin color. Though, “Asian” and “African” are irrelevant as terms of “racial” identification, as they are countries with a rich multicultural makeup, even though we do still generally refer to the peoples of the Far East when we say “Asians” and the black peoples of Africa when we say “Africans.”
        
        Though, funny enough, just to blow your mind, there’s an “Asian-descended population of people that now live native in Africa, on the island of Madagascar (they’re called the Merina people). There’s even a large Chinese population on Madagascar, as well as a Japanese population in South Africa. “African” is a nationality, not a single cultural, ethnicity, or “race.”
      - Dude
        
        Actually arab is something of a misnomer. Today people who arte basically Eiropean are called arabs, because they have been arabisized. The original arabs of the peninsula are not only darker, genetics tests have shownt have much more negro,african hetitage than so called other arabs. And peninsulan arabs are the original ones. tyhe others are conquered people (like the various berber-speaking groups) that a more or less embraced arab manners and culture and yes mixing of course.
      - http://PolyKhromeGames.blogspot.com/ Brian Lockett
        
        You got any sources for those claims of genetic tests and of the history of the “original Arabs” there? It’s not that I’m ready with disbelief in claims–I’m just not ready with belief in claims, either.

Depending on whether an Indian is of Indo-Aryan descent rather than Dravidian descent, it may be more accurate to classify that person as caucasion. Both the Indo-Aryan languages and their genetic haplotypes have more in common with Near East and European populations than with Asian populations. As far as North Africans go, they are mostly caucasian descent, but they are also african descent, just not of black descent. They are not a “mix” of black and “arabic” as you are implying.

        East Indians have always been considered Asian.

        “Asian” is a region, not an ethnicity or “race.”
      - frauleinschmaulein
        
        How could “Asian” not be considered a “race”? When I fill out applications of any kind, there’s always a section where you check what race you are, and there’s Causasian, African American or Black, Asian, Hispanic or Non-Hispanic. If you’re Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc. and somebody asks you what race you are, what are you going to say? You’re going to answer, “Asian”. “I am of the Asian race”.
      - http://PolyKhromeGames.blogspot.com/ Brian Lockett
        
        “Asian” is a generalization of anyone from Asia, and often times, a crude one when used on job applications. Not everyone from Asia features tan skin and an epicanthic fold over their eyes. For instance, the various peoples of India migrated to Asia long ago–they’re technically classified anthropomorphically as a “white” people, even though they live in Asia and can feature skin darker than some even some “black” people.
        
        You also have many people in central Asia who do not fit the typical idea of “Asian” when people use it. If anyone from Turkey was filling out an application in the West, to avoid confusion, they’d most likely fill out as “Caucasian”–even though, most ironically, they’re probably the only people in the world who are literally Caucasian, as in from living near the Caucasus mountains.
        
        Just because we may use generalizations here in the West doesn’t mean it’s a pure reflection of our various anthropomorphic and ethnical classifications. If anything, where you find the most heterogeneity (such as the melting pot that is America), you typically find the crudest generalizations among “races.” Heck, even “races” is a crude generalization, since we’re technically only one singular human race, but only with various ethnicities among peoples crudely called “races.”

        Not true. Subcontinential Indians of Indo-Aryan descent are more closely related to Near Easterners and Europeans in language and genetics than they are to other Asians. Subcontinental Indians of Dravidian descent are Asians.

        I agree. My history is unique and I am Black American. Anyone can be African American who comes from Africa. Though I realize that way back my roots from one side of the family are from Africa, They haven’t my history in America since I didn’t immigrate here. Black American: Black being the noun and American, the adjective.
      - Mieli
        
        …Adjectives are always placed before the noun. So you would be American black. But I’m just an African from Africa speaking commonwealth English. Here we consider “mixed” on a cultural level. I’m just saying.

        Uh, wrong. From the Merriam-Webster Dictionary:
        
        American (noun) ə-ˈmer-ə-kən
        1: an American Indian of North America or South America
        2: a native or inhabitant of North America or South America
        3: a citizen of the United States
        
        American (adjective) ə-ˈmer-ə-kən
        1: of or relating to America
        
        2: of or relating to the United States of its possessions or original territory
        
        Black (adjective) ˈblak
        2.b.: of or relating to any of various population groups having dark pigmentation of the skin (2): of or relating to the African-American people or their culture (3): typical or representative of the most readily perceived characteristics of black culture
        
        When referring to a PERSON, American is a noun, and black is ALWAYS an adjective, so you would say “She is a Black American”, just as you can say “She is an American”. Because you would never say “She is a Black” (see how insulting that sounds?) you would never say “She is an American Black.”
      - ethnicallyspeaking
        
        No, we’re African American. We went from colored to negro to black to African American. That’s the history. The reason is that we want to acknowledge our pride in the homeland, and since we were snatched and don’t know precisely what tribe/people our families we come from we just say “African,” and combine that with American. Blacks born in Africa or the Caribbean or the descendants thereof identify by their country of origin, e.g., Haitian-American.
      - Khrish
        
        when I enter a room anywhere in the world, my blackness preceeds my American…..I am Black american. I acknowledge my pride in America but I am still Black and they never let you forget it ANYWHERE in the world. I describe myself……not you.

    My understanding is that individuals from Spanish speaking countries in South America prefer to be referred to as Latina/Latino to avoid referring to the label of Hispanic which is related to colonization by Spain. Latina/Latino, per the US Census’ separate category, is only to refer to whether someone is connected to a Spanish speaking country. Separate questions address race, ethnicity, color, etc.
    - Pbellinghas
      
      That’s rather silly. “Latino” comes from the Latin language which is just as European as “Hispanic”, which comes from Spanish. I think Hispanic is better because that’s the language spoken, unless they’re Brazilian. People need to stop being so offended by words.

      Cubans are a mix of Spanish (white), natives (Indian), and African. The majority of Central and South American countries have this mix. There are pockets in different countries of just Spanish or just Indian. In fact, my co-worker named Ramiro is just such a person. He is of Spanish blood and not mixed, but his family is from Mexico. As a native of Southern California, this is very interesting as most people that think of Mexicans think of people that look American Indian (dark skin, hair, eyes). Ramiro shows his European heritage very well with lovely fair skin, blue eyes, and brown hair. Everybody from the area that he grew up in looks similar to him (according to Ramiro).

        Not only is Cuban not a race- neither is Caucasian – that is a term used by police in the US to describe people who are from Europe – it has no basis in anthropology at all – the Irish belong to the Celtic race along with the Scots, Welsh, Cornish and Bretons – and they are all about 4,000 miles from the Caucasus.

        The Celts started near Rome and moved Northward. That is why the original peoples of Iberia are called Celtic-Iberians. The Celts fled northward as Rome advanced. Caucasian describes people near the Caucus. It is just easier to say that then Irish/Danish/English American. Oh, and a I have a splash of French from the Plantagenets as well as some Scottish and a dash of Spanish. So, just easier to say Caucasian.

    Mexican is not a race, it’s a nationality. Puerto Rico (even though it’s not a country) is a similar case. There are blacks, whites, mixed race, etc. people living in both places. That’s like saying there is an American or Candian race.

I have carried on the family tradition started by my parents and uncles, continued by my brothers, sisters and cousins. We have all married into most global nationalities/ethnicities: Irish, Italian, German, British, Swiss, Spanish, Polish, Romanian, Russian, American (US), Canadian, Argentinian, Brazilian, Colombian, Ecuadorian, Chilean, Costa Rican, Guatemalan, Panamanian, Argentinian, Uruguayan, Dominican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Jamaican, Austrlian, Tunisian, Lebanese, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Israeli and many more. Our long family has all kinds of mixes. It’s marvelous. My advice: Just enjoy your time on this planet, since it’s really ephimerous. Just get along and enjoy life.

Not that we should pretend we DON’T see color and differences..our differences are part of our beauty. We are the perpetuators of this…we can also learn to let it go. My husband is half Pakistani, part Mongolian, part Irish and part German and has always said he doesn’t feel the pull of any of them more than the pull of just being a person and so he only describes himself as American because that is a clean slate and the most representative of his world view and life experience.

      Indeed. I worked on the show Prison Break with Wentworth Miller (whose father by the by is only half African descent) and he and I had a bit of a laugh because my great grandparents are Irish, English, Cherokee, French Canadian, Puerto Rican, and Japanese which makes me a race/ethic mess when it comes to defining myself according to government terms. I was born in the US so citizenship wise I’m American. Well technically I could say British American since I’m a duel citizen thanks to the distribution of the various factors. I remember telling Wentworth that my answer to the question often depended on which answer would get me free money for school or such. Otherwise the answer is merely “I’m me.”
      
      On the one hand I find lists like this and the whole “surprising” to be crude and absurd. But on the other hand, I find those surprises just show why defining people by their race/ethnicity versus the quality of their character, their sexuality etc is the absurdity.

    science tells us there is one race: Human. Of course, they used to divide people into 3, which were Caucasian, Negroid & Mongoloid (Asian). But, this is not scientifically correct & we know this now. Besides, American Indians were considered Caucasian, as were Arabs & other groups. All of the people listed above are of mixed ethnicity, which is no big deal b/c most Americans are mixed anyway. What a person chooses to identify as is up to that person, we don’t know their reasons & its none of our business. Most of us say African American, because at one time there was so much emphasis on color that it became rude to say “the black guy” or “the white woman”. I taught my kids to specify who they were referring to by for example “The woman in the red dress”. This keeps people from being so caught up in what color a person’s skin happens to be. But, however a person chooses to identify if no one’s choice, but their own.

    A Spaniard is of Celtic/Iberian blood and are considered white. I agree, any “white” person ( Spanish included) can move to Mexico and not be Mexican. A Mexican is a mixture of Spanish (where blond hair, fair skin, blue eyes, etc come from), Indian (where the dark features would come in), and +/- African. I am so tired of people saying that the Spaniards are not Caucasian (white). Antonio Banderas who is a Spaniard also correctly labels himself as a “white” person.

        Latin went clear up into Briton. In fact, the word “Briton” is the Latin name for that part of the world. The word “English” (OK, this is the modern word) is the name that the Anglo-Saxons (Germanic in origin) peoples gave the Island after Rome left. Latin has affected all of the modern European cultures and languages. Thus, I don’t understand how you can label any specific European culture as “Latin” when they were all affected by the Romans.

        Caucasian is a term related to 19th century racial theory. It includes Northern, Central and Eastern Europeans (but not East Russians), Mediterraneans (including countries like France, Spain, Portugal and Italy) and Arabs (Hamitic). Spaniards are completely Caucasian. The term Latin comes from the linguistic derivations of the Latin language, so Spaniards are Latin as well, although it isn’t a racial term.

      …and apropos of DNA determining race, among biologists, evolutionary biologists, and biological anthropologists, there is fading support for the idea that such “races” as we commonly think of (whether Caucasian, Celtic, Asian etc.) actually even exist. Beyond a collection of similar, outwardly visible phenotypes (skin color, hair texture…), there are way more phenotypes less obvious to our eyes that just don’t line up along “racial” lines (that means, for example, that there can be something about our bodies where, say, half of “whites” and half of “blacks” could be physically one way, and the other half of those races’ members could be some other way–except it’s some physical feature that isn’t obvious to us–imagine it could be something like the shape of something inside us). In any case, the upshot of that is that it may tun out that what we call “race” really represents how we, as social beings, evaluate each other, more than how physiologically different any two people are or aren’t from one another.
  - Berengere French
    
    Sarah Paxton’s mother is Jewish and her Father is English, Irish, and Scottish. She is not really considered a mixed race person. Mixed race people come from more than one of the different races: Ethnographic division into races from Meyers Konversationslexikon of 1885-90 is listing:
    Caucasian races (Aryans, Hamites, Semites)Mongolian races (northern Mongolian, Chinese and Indo-Chinese, Japanese and Korean, Tibetan, Malayan, Polynesian, Maori, Micronesian, Eskimo, American Indian),Negroid races (African, Hottentots, Melanesians/Papua, “Negrito”, Australian Aborigine, Dravidians, Sinhalese)
- Xeneida Brown
  
  I agree one hundred percent with the above. When trying to classify people as being of “mixed races” we need to limit it to the major races and not include such things as ethnicity or nationality — if you are trying to identify people of mixed ethnicity/culture or nationality, you need to specify it as such. I believe the major racial classifications were (at some point), Caucasians, Black or Negroid, Asian or Asiatic, then there are sub-classifications deriving from these groups which makes this a lot more complex. The races of the world are not determined by our limited American view or understanding of the world.
- me
  
  Believe it or not, race can be defined in various ways depending on your country of origin, your society, your interpretation. Race is not based on genetics or biology. Its a man made ideology, not science, despite popular belief.The definition of race has changed in history and is ever changing, this happens with concepts. Race is, a man made concept. Predisposed diseases that scientist may report on, are more in connection with family history, cultural basis and class classification that create trends, rather than race. The point is that race can be defined in many ways, so a person could identify their race as Italian because of their family, but could have never been to Italy. Are you going to tell them they aren’t Italian. Instead say “No you need to call yourself white, your not Italian” And yes, just as Blacks were brought to America they were brought to South America and other parts of the Diaspora, therefore a Puerto Rican could for surely be of African decent and of Spanish decent because of ‘mixing’, but if you ask them what’s their race, they may check Spanish, or Mixed. Whatever the case is, looking at this article, i’m not thinking, this writer is so ignorant they do not know how to classify race blah blah blah…Its more of ..its a beautiful thing that people from different backgrounds, cultures, ‘races’, parts of the world came together to make these people, without regard to how they actually look.

Most of these, despite of location, are considered WHITE. African-American and Jamaican’s are considered BLACK, their nationalities, however, are different. For some of these so-called mixes, I think it would be better suited to label them as Multicultural.

  thank you thats what I was thinking the whole time, as far as sara paxton was concerned and those who they were saying were half cuban, half puerto rican , you have to remember that European countries colonized all those places puerto rico, america, mexico, cuba… the list goes on the point is those countries are made up of mostly the whites, blacks, and the natives that were already there. So there can be lots of whites puerto ricans which they are they are not natives obviously we know what the natives look like, but they are caucasian . the cuban and irish is one example Im sure the cuban parent is white that goes for the others as well;

  I could help with all the confusion but y’all are not ready. Race is a lie. It’s BS. The rules change from country to country and no one knows how to handle the fact that human beings can mix infinitely. Your complexion can be as variable as your hair color or eye color or the size of your big toe. It is not scientific at all but we all fight to uphold this mindset. The world would be so much better off without this demonic lie only created to separate and subjugate human beings. We all came from mother Africa and everything else is some variation thereof. – “the word ‘race’ was created by racists”, Angela Davis

  Replying to my own post here. Sorry. There is an argument below that being Jewish is a race because Wikipedia says so. If you are parsing the definition of race here, then you cannot distinguish between the generally accepted concept that an Asian and an African person have characteristics that are recognizable and definable by any common sense approach.

Saying someone is “half” or a “quarter” means that somewhere there is a search for a “whole.” It would appear the only way to remain whole, would be not to mix races… to be “pure” Which means all this “half” talk is steeped in racism… like this article.

We are all mixed with something. It always seems to be a big deal with so many people. “What are you mixed with?” Children really get me with this one. Caucasians really think to ask you that one because you don’t look like what they may think you should like as an African American. Well, guess what African American totally means you are mixed. We are not African by any means but, we are American’s so this is just a name to call us. We make up so many different nationalities to become who we are. Which includes caucasians as well as many others.

  Interestingly enough, blacks are the ones who decided to identify themselves as “African-American.” Personally, I don’t like those labels as I feel they are separatist…in fact, I don’t like labels period. People act as if they don’t hyphenate their ethnicity and culture in front of “American,” then they somehow lose their identity, which I find absolutely ridiculous. No “label,” that only exists to generalize groups of people could ever take away who you are…

    The word Mexican comes from the language Nahuatl, the one the Aztecs (Mexica is the more accurate term) used to speak (still spoken by about 1million people).
    FACT: Mexico is a nationality, even that the about 80% of the people in Mexico are Mestizo, you can find a lot of Mexicans from every race.
    What some ignorant people think is “The Mexican race” Is the “Mestizaje” which is also not a race because includes many ethic groups.The mestizaje is the mix between the Spaniards and the native people from the place that now is Mexico (There are differences between those groups).
    Source: I`m Mexican and I have mostly caucasian ancestry, my maternal grandparents were caucasian from Poland, my paternal grandfather was Mexican mestizo (Spanish and native Mexican ancestry like most of the Mexicans) and my paternal grandmother was caucasian (Her parents were from Spain) and btw I´m also Jewish that is also not a race.

Realism

I agree with all of you who pointed out that Cuban, Mexican, Italian etc aren’t races. I had a debate with a guy on my Facebook who “hates” french people and white people, yet he’s Italian (white). Here in south Florida, there’s Cubans galore, and a lot of them are WHITE but dare you call them white, they’ll become offended. I dislike when people dismiss their race. You should be proud of your heritage, ethnicity/ nationality but never ignore your race, which is purely based on your physical features not where you’re from. EX: If a black woman finds white men physically unattractive, it doesn’t matter if he was born in another country or his family originated from another country, at the end of the day he’s STILL a white man.

Ummm…news flash…every single person on the planet is “mixed race,” even if your family has been living under the same rock for ten thousand years.

http://knuckles-mutatis.myopenid.com/ Knuckles Mutatis

“Lauren is half Jewish and half Black” – Jewish is not a race, but a religion. You can be of any race and become Jewish, and you cannot become a race. Now, you can be Jewish by birthright, but that doesn’t work how people think – to use an example, if say, your mother was say, a Polynesian Christian that converted to Judaism, then got pregnant, had you, you would then be considered “Jewish by birth”.
When people respond by saying “then why do so many Jewish people share similar features? – curly dark hair, brown eyes, etc.,” or suffer Tay-Sachs, that still doesn’t demonstrate a race, but rather a religion that started with a relatively small area in the middle-east, thus people TENDED to marry who they were near (but race wasn’t a rule or anything like that…the bible even has a number of stories of this). But that changed a lot over the last 1000 years.
To use an example, the “race” mistake would be like saying Christians are a race, because for centuries, Christians were middle-easterners/Mediterranean people…the only reason Christians look a little more varied on the whole, is the religion caught on more with other nations and larger groups than Judaism did.

Race is an artificial construct invented by humans to classify each other. No two people will ever agree on race. For example to me an olive skinned Italian and a blond Scandinavian are not the same race. To me, a black person from West Africa with a wide nose and large lips and a black person from South Africa with a smaller nose and smaller lips as well as slightly hooded eyes, are not the same race either. But that’s just my opinion. And to many Latinos, their country is their race. For example, my best friend is Mexican and he considers his race to be Mexican, not mestizo, not Indian but Mexican. I am Brazilian and Puerto Rican. On the Brazilian side of my family if you would ask anyone their race, they would say they are Brazilian although many of the “Americanized” ones do say they are Latino. So don’t judge whether a person’s race fits YOUR criteria of race. There is no legal definition of race, it is a social construct and the person who wrote this article definitely based it on his opinion of “race”.

My culture of people seem to spend just a little too much time explaining their heritage, mixtures and getting race and nationality mixed up every time. We have to learn to get over ourselves and respect ourselves and not allow the aspect of other ethnic groups in our heritage define us.

A great many races have genetic illness passed down to the children. I have the genetic trait of both thalassemia and sickle cell. One found in people of Greek descent and the other for people of African descent. We like to discount the importance of race but there are disorders linked to race. Now to look at me you would not think I had Greek in me but I do.
Now someone give me a genetic disorder found in Christians. That is because it is a religion while there is one for Bloom Syndrome, tay-sachs, just to name a few. Why do we discount the importance of race it is NOT a bad thing to be of a different race. NOR mixed. ONCE we accept that then we will have really reach the point of which race is not important.

Ok the ignorance displayed by this list and many of the comments stuns me…for the record race is the genetic background that you inherit from your family and has nothing to do with where you or your ancestors was born, there are three: Caucausian (white), Black and Asian (and then combinations of the three) and they are found on all continents and in almost all countries – nationality is based upon which country you are born in and is about geography, ethnicity (which is what this list is really about) is a combination of nationality and the culture in which you and your ancestors were raised – this is why we call people Irish/American or Italian/American even though their race is white in both cases…this is an ethnic difference not a racial one….finally religion does not convey race, nationality or ethnicity as you choose to be a specific religion (whereas you do not have a choice in the other three cases – you get them from your parents and your place of birth/upbringing) and those people who talk about Jews or Muslims as a race need to stop it as it makes them sound idiotic. (Oh and by the way you can’t be American/?? (anything) if you weren’t born or raised in the US – aka Naomi Campbell who is British – you would be African/British if you felt the need to label it – and again this is incorrect unless one or more of your recent ancestors was actually from Africa – if they came more than 1 or 2 generations ago then you are just British (or American) since culturally you are no longer African – you would just be considered Black or White depending on your genetic heritage)

Frankie Muniz mixed race? Hardly! Both his oparents are basically the same color-to ME, mixed race is OPPOSITES-say, black and any other color, chinese and mexican together, white and philipino, etc. I’m half Italian(my father was right off the boat) and mostly white with some Blackfoot Indian in there, but do I consider myself “mixed race”? Not at all-my parents were both caucasian, tho from different countries.

SingHisPraise

There is no biological basis for any of the definitions of “race”, the whole idea of race is a social construct which differs from place to place. Just one example out of many – a large percentage of the people who are seen as white in the Dominican Republic are seen as black in the U.S. Their race changes depending on what country they live in. So, Styleblazer can make up whatever categories they want, they will be as accurate as the categories anyone else has made up.

Most anthropologists recognize 3 or 4 basic races of man in existence today. These races can be further subdivided into as many as 30 subgroups.
Ethnographic division into races from Meyers Konversationslexikon of 1885-90 is listing:
Caucasian races (Aryans, Hamites, Semites)Mongolian races (northern Mongolian, Chinese and Indo-Chinese, Japanese and Korean, Tibetan, Malayan, Polynesian, Maori, Micronesian, Eskimo, American Indian),Negroid races (African, Hottentots, Melanesians/Papua, “Negrito”, Australian Aborigine, Dravidians, Sinhalese)

This whole exercise was stupid. Your nationality was where u were born. If u want to know your true race speak to your parents and grandparents. Not 1person that I’ve met in my entire life (50 yrs.) is 100% anything. Other than a living, breathing human filled with love and emotion for one another.

We all need to get over color and labels and see the person within.

The ignorance behind this article are just astounding. How can you be half Argentinian? Argentina, like the United States is a nation of immigrants and is not an ethnicity. You either hold an Argentine passport or you don’t. And the majority of Argentine people are of European descent. When did Syrians become their own race? I consider them white. They are closely related to Jewish people. Again, agree with JennLove, glad I am not the only person who is thinking the same. There is a difference between race/ethnicity/nationality. And I meant Frankie Muniz in my previous post.
Kasia

Just looked it up, Frankie Muniz dad is of pure Asturian, European, Spanish ancestry. Therefore he is not mixed race, he is mixed ethnicity, but he is still white.
Kasia

Sara Paxton’s mother is a European Mexican-Jew. Oh snap. That would explain why she doesn’t look Aztec, but I guess the authors of this article assume everyone in Mexico looks the same. And Shannon Elizabeth is a quarter Syrian and a quarter Lebanese, many Syrians and Lebanese would take offense to being considered “Arab”, and they are closely related to Southern Europeans, making them “white.” I thought it was interesting that Syrian/Lebanese is considered “white” in Bob Marley’s case, but not in Shannon Elizabeth’s case. Hmmmm.

As others have noted in comments, it seems like this should be headlined Multi-Ethnic Celebs instead of Multi-Racial Celebs. I guess it is how you choose to define “race.” If you are going to count any type of ethnicity as a race, then wouldn’t most latinos be considered multi-racial. Going back most have ancestors from Europe, Africa or Native American and even some Asian.

Many of these celebs are listed as “Half-something” neglecting to mention what the other “half” is-a little presumptious, no? Are we supposed to presume what the other “half” is? Kudos to those pointing out that many of the “races” are actually nationalities. In many cases, any of the nationalities on the American continent (makes me sad that people from the US seem to think that “American” only pertains to them) are multiracial to begin with-indigenous + European invaders+ African slaves+other immigrant groups. The author (and editor)needs to do a little vocabulary work and historical research before submitting their next article. Not all your readers are ethnocentric bimbos.

Wake up people! It’s the 21st century. Most people of African ancestry here in the US, Caribbean, Central & South America are “mixed.” And a lot of people who are considered caucasian have either native-American or African ancestors. We’re no longer in the pre-Civil War era of Octoroon balls (one-eight black) and melodramas about tragic mulattos. Cultural mixing — that’s a different thing: when parents come from different cultural traditions. But mixed race – what does that mean anymore in a world where almost no one in the Americas (north, south, central & Caribbean) is?of “pure” race.

  There is color, nationality, ethnic identity. Biracial is also a misnomer. Black and white people are from the same race. They have only the disctinction of color. God created one race.

Hello? “Jewish” is not a race any more than “Catholic” is a race–they’re religions, either of birth or choice. In fact, most of what you suggested is “race” is nationality. You’re promoting stereotypes based on the location of someone’s ancestor’s birth. How does that help your readership understand what these people, or any people living ordinary lives, are about?

In reference to Lauren London just because it annoys me. Being Jewish isn’t an ethnicity it’s a religion. If she’s half white, or Israeli etc… just say that. I think all races pure or mixed are beautiful regardless. I’m not a fan of when people make a religion an ethnicity.
jamie

this is one of the most ridiculous lists I’ve ever seen. Since when did one’s nationality become their race.. Let’s not get it twisted. There are only 3 races and tens of thousands nationalities of which are made up of people of the 3 races.

1. Caucasian races (Aryans, Hamites, Semites)

2. Mongolian races ie (northern Mongolian, Chinese and
Indo-Chinese, Japanese and Korean, Tibetan, Malayan, Polynesian, Maori,
Micronesian, Eskimo, American Indian),

3. Negroid races (African, Hottentots, Melanesians/Papua, “Negrito”, Australian Aborigine, Dravidians, Sinhalese)

All people fall in one of these categories and contrary to what many think, especially Latinos, most fall within the Negroid race but don’t want to admit it,

The United Nations, in a 1950 statement, opted to “drop the term ‘race’ altogether and speak of “ethnic groups”. In this case, there are more than 5,000 ethnic groups in the world.
http://www.facebook.com/rebecca.r.bibbs Rebecca R Bibbs

I would say this is a poorly constructed piece. As many have pointed out, race and ethnicity are two different things. As often is pointed out, for instance, once can be Black, White or Native and be Hispanic. Someone on this list was deemed multiracial because one parent was from Mexico and one from Argentina. But that says nothing. She could still just be white. Also, whoever put this together also must have built the article assuming certain people had one white parent and it was the other parent who made that person mixed. For instance, with Norah Jones, it was noted that her father was Indian, but nothing was said about her mother. But her mother could have just as easily been Black or anything else. It’s not adequate to refer to a mixed-race person in this shallow way.
Linkabird

Jewish and Arab are neither nationalities, nor races … so explain those two labels to me … Sammy Davis Jr was black, but he was also Jewish … that was his religion. There are “Arab” Jews. The Arab World encompasses the Middle East/Western Asia as well as North Africa.

He laughs at the “African-Americans”. It’s all in the eye of the beholder, I suppose. But get it right, being half Syrian does not make you mixed race.

You guys are all being stupid. Once you’re black and you are born in America you are an African American, if you are from any Spanish speaking country you are Hispanic/Latino. You guys are getting nationality confused with ethnicity. They are two different things. Things like Haitian American or Jamaican-American don’t exist unless we’re talking about citizenship. Why do people feel like they gotta deny Africa!! If that’s your ethnicity, DEAL WITH IT!!

haaa. youre not mixed when your parents are mostly white- just from a different countries. Americans are dumb about this kind of thing. Language or nationality doesnt not decide “race”

as for the Black/African Americans. Yes it works that same way… Just because your ancestors are from different countries doesnt mean that theyre from different races.

None of this really matter’s. If your roots are engulfed with different heritages, background, and culture, then that’s a beautiful thing.

MarkinTex

Whoever wrote this article doesn’t know squat. Being hispanic or latino/latina is an ethnicity, not a race. There are white latinos, black latinos, and indios latinos, as well as mestizo latinos. And even if hispanic/latino were a race, how would that make Alexis Bledel, who the article says is half-hispanic (Mexican) from her mother’s side, and half hispanic (Argentinian) from her father’s side, multiracial? Also, Bledel’s mother was born in Phoenix, AZ and moved to Mexico City as a child, and her maiden name is Dozier, so there is also some question of how hispanic in ethnicity the mother is, from what I have read she is of French and German descent. Nor are “Syrian” (ie Steve Jobs) or “Arab” races. These are ethnicities among the semitic subgroup of the white race. Read a little Jared Diamond. And finally, every African-American in this country has at least some white blood in them.

Some are surprising, yes. But is it me or does it seem like the phrasing of biracial mostly implied white American (unless otherwise stated) and a non American parent. It’s cultural diversity more than “races.” We are all humans, but have vastly different ways of cultural expression. How does cultural expression and sometimes skin tone imply race?
