Just curiosity.Alltough dark skinned and with afro-textured hair, he looks to be half-black half-white, not in the same way lets say Lenny Kravitz but you get the point.

People from Nigeria says he looks typically Igbo.
If he's merely
7ectypical
, I need to visit southeastern Nigeria at my earliest opportunity.

The dude is Igbo. Not mixed. Look it up on Google/wiki. The Igbo tribe of Nigeria have a good deal of light skinned people. My mum is one of them. My dad is rather on the "dark side" (lol), Yoruba, West of Nigeria.

@Moon
Oh,pleasehe's blackhe does not look mixed,and you know it. Just because he's British dosen't make him anything less than the beautiful black man he is.
To be fair,not all biracial folks look biracial anywayjust to point that out.

He certainly has strong Nigerian features. To me his eyes are a bit different, and the most beautiful feature on him.

But in, say, 1923 we weren't? Your statement makes no sense.

It's been a long time since you posted, but I want to ask you if there is some particular reason you ask this question? Is there some deeply held belief about people outside whatever race/culture you are that everyone from X other race/culture has to look like what you think they "should"?

Don't blame the OP. Even me and my friends think Chiwetel is mixed black/Caucasian.

I didn't post anything that expressed blame toward anyone, the OP or responders to the OP, but the question still stands.

It is allowed to be curious you know, I bet if you asked google over half the search questions would only be out of curiousity.

mjd_subs2 — 11 years ago(October 30, 2014 11:19 AM)

I'm positive I never said you weren't allowed to be curious. My question was (and still is) that people from all kinds of cultural and racial backgrounds do not ALL a "look." There is nothing genetically that differentiates people based solely on skin color and/or features. It is a societal construct designed to classify people.
