As someone else said, he either has a rare genetic mutation, or he’s adopted. The pictures of his parents are poor quality, they look mixed race themselves though darker than their son.
having dark brown eyes and red hair as AA or african is a sign of albinism
look at his nose, which is not european
Red hair in its self is a mutation even for white people. When he was young, his hair seem to be dark, not flaming red like it is for the site pic:

Plus when you look at pictures of Sinbad, he likes to change his hair and beard often.if his hair is red truly,I’m pretty sure he’s of Irish ancestry , That bloodline is very common for African Americans
Quote(look at his nose, which is not european)
I thought you Europeans could have all the types of noses etc, at least that’s what Europeans keep saying, anytime someone doubts their purity. Sinbad has the same nose his father has, and we African Americans have all the different types of noses, from pointy, to wide, to the so-called semitic nose and so on. All the different bloodlines we have come with all the different traits
IM NOT european
i have medium brown air and pale skin but brown eyes ..
There are two options, he has some white ancestry or he has some type of albinism.
Well he’s African American, so there’s a good chance he has some European ancestry. It’s probably Irish, alot of AA’s have that background
Yes, I could easily be wrong but I thought the on average African American’s (who have two African-American parents) are around 75% Sub-Saharan African, 22%-23% European ancestry, and 2%-3% Native American ancestry. Usually the European ancestry is British and Irish but often other parts of North Western Europe. I am basing the percentages off of collected DNA results from DNA testing companies.
@bearboy
The safe bet is to say that the avg AA is of mixed ethnicity. Don’t get hung up on fixed percentage, because they tend to fluctuate depending on the area, and the companies that do the testing. The companies also admit, that their AA dna contributions are low
i would say he has ALBINISM
he does not look like having european roots
i bet he has albinism
he looks pseudo-mixed or pseudo half white
i have seen a lot of blacks of nigerian descent who are nearly albinos with those features
but i know also 2 turkish boys who have similar features. And all of them have darker parernts
that nose
What about the nose?
wondering where it comes from. Also his father has the same nose.
White wannabe much?
No.
Is he bleaching? He looks bright as hell.
Definite bleacher.
NO NOT AT ALL
i have seen a lot of people who are from countries like TURKEY (WITH DARK PEOPLE) for example who have orange hair and pale skin but brown eyes he looks nearly the same
HE IS AFRICAN AMERICAN TRUST ME I WAS HIS ROOMMATE AND HE TOLD ME.IF YOU MEET HIM AND ASK THAT QUESTION HE WILL TELL YOU HE’S BLACK
yeah. I saw that. he was hilarious.(:
To everywhere I go
He also said it himself in his latest comic special that’s he was black.He also said he was mad he didn’t get the green eyes or good hair,that came with the light skin
Not that it really matters. I think anyone in America that says “black” means the person is mixed with usual sub safaran african, native american, and european of some sort…Sinbad probably just want to keep it simple and say black because it shouldn’t matter.
To Supernaut
I could go with that,except for that Sub-Saharan part,we are from all over the place
he’s black, he said if he had wavy hair he could pass for cuban. lol
