    Johnny Depp is listed as White in websites like NNDB
    http://www.nndb.com/people/902/000022836/#FN1
    And many other Americans actors who have been mentioned having 1/8 asian/nativeamerican/black ancestors are also listed as White in this website…

    Whatever her exact ethnicity is, She’s Mostly of Euro ancestry I come to that conclusion by the way she talks about her family “Very Blond. My whole family is blond blue eyes, very nice.” Reference: ‘The View’ interview

      they only consider you “biracial” if you are at least a quarter or more of another race.

      you’ll notice that halle b., thandie newton, kristin kreuk, rashida jones, charisma carpenter, keanu reeves, dean cain, mariah carey, moon bloodgood, etc. etc. etc. are actually listed as ‘multiracial’

    And just so you know, concerning the human being, there is no such thing as “race” either. Those are terms you apply to dogs or horses, but no one has proved there are different human races. And believe me, they have tried!

    There is no such thing as “colombian ethnicity”! So idiotic..
