So what does he identify as? Just mixed…….or multiracial? Does anyone know? Wow when you look at Sean paul you start to automatically think “What is he racially?” because you just can’t tell. I think he could pass for hispanic,or biracial( just half black half white.) Some people don’t consider the portugese white. This race stuff is complicated so don’t attack me for my opinion.
