    I could tell he’s black but couldn’t tell what the hell else. I can see Arab though.

    Looks Czech.

  4. Caution says:

    He looks like a North African Arab. African-Americans are only about 75% black on average (some even less) so Colin is probably about 30-35% black which makes him about as “black” as some Arabs, hence the reason he looks Arab. He looks predominately Caucasoid with some Negroid admixture, like North Africans.

      That’s the amazing thing about genetics. Different racial mixtures can create different combos.

      No, he’s not

      @Ihatemost people MOST Arabs have sub-Saharan African black dna . Africans migrated and mixed with Arabs plus Arabs came to Africa. Also there was slavery for hundreds of years in Arabia . Arab men would take black African women as “concubine” slaves for making babies and then call the babies Arabs. You can look this stuff up, its historically accurate. Also that’s why Arabs have the racial name “sand n”””ers
