Birth Name:
Tyson Craig Beckford
Birth Place:
Rochester, New York, USA
Ethnicity:
Afro-Jamaican, Afro-Panamanian and Chinese
The American model was born to Jamaican parents. Most other websites that talk about Beckford agree that he has Afro-Jamaican, Afro-Panamanian and Chinese heritage. However half of the sites say that his mother has Chinese heritage and his father has Panamanian heritage, while other sites say the opposite. We can be sure that he has Afro-Jamaican, Afro-Panamanian and Chinese heritage at the least.

Tyson Beckford is less than 1/4 chinese. Thats virtually undetectable. Him and Naomi Campbell are two black Jamaicans trying to be something they are not.

I Don’t Get Your Comment! First Off If You Are Majority Black But You Have A Chinese Ancestor, Then Your Ethnicity Is Black And Chinese! If You Don’t Know Tyson Beckford Nor His Family, Then You Should Not Comment On This Profile Talking Like That. And Second Of All Naomi Campbell Never Knew Her Father And She Heard He Has Chinese In Him Which Is Why She Says She Is Of Chinese Heritage!

anonymous february 5th: you sound like a fool trying to tell someone what they are or are not. you think tiger woods is a fool for saying he’s only part black…have you seen his mom!? she’s obviously asian. in fact, tiger is more asian than black because his father was also part chinese. i don’t even understand how this can be up for debate when you can easily verify this fact by simply looking at his parents.
not all mixed race people come out looking the same way. my friend is half japanese half white and he looks white but his brother looks asian. same family and they don’t even look alike!
you are so incredibly ignorant.

Why is this such a big issue? Black mixes come out all types of ways, two offspring of the same parents can look completely different. Does it matter who’s side has what and what the percentages are? Take Wentworth Miller for example, looking at him he looks like a normal white guy but he’s biracial. So why can’t a dark skinned guy be multiracial?

Tyson Beckford looks a fool trying to say he is mixed with Chinese. He almost look as dumb as Tiger Woods who says he is only 1/4 black and Tiger Woods is darker than a lot of Nigerians. There is a tribe in Africa where everyone has slanted eyes and a lot of black people that says they are mixed with Asian are liars. They come from that tribe. Kimora Lee and Amerie are mixed with Asian. This Beckford fool is not.

even though it’s not often taught Africa was a revolving door.Not only did they take Africans out ,but they also brought Asians and white in.Plus Black Asiatic people came back to africa on their own.Now because of climate ,some Africans over time have developed those eyes.China and Africa are no strangers to each other.Chinese people are descendants of Africans.Also with back migration,there are many tribes that have that asian lineage.I also forgot about the chinese live in East African in ancient times. However for you to sit there and say because he does look the way you think he should,he can’t be part Asian is just ridiculous
