He’s biracial.
He is African American in ethnicity. African American is an ethnicity. Biracial isn’t. If you had said, “He’s Irish, too,” you might have had a point.
He is biracial. You are wrong, sorry.
He is Irish and African-American indeed
What am I wrong about? You just repeated what I said.
he does look mixed-race, just look at his facial features. Obvious.
I’m not sure how this is even a debate. Here he is with his father, who he looks like:

I have never seen a mixed person who looks like this. I bet most people growing up didn’t believe he is part white. Some people doubt a little about me when I’m lighter than him and mixed with 3 races…
There’s no way he’s half white, he looks fully Black.
No fully black person looks like that you dumbass
He is too white to be black and too black to be white. He is both Irish American and African American and the better for both. What a fantastic fighter. His reputation is a slow burner and as time goes by he will become more and more revered.
