LMFAO “Hispanic”. That’s very vague considering Hispanic isn’t a race. There are Black Hispanics, White Hispanics, Mulatto Hispanics, Mestizo Hispanics, even multiracial Hispanics. I’m assuming his mother is/was Mestizo because I can clearly see Native American in him, BUT since EthniCelebs didn’t even bother listing what kind of Hispanic his mother is, I can’t be sure. Why even bother making profiles for people when you’re not 100% sure what their background is………………..
Ethnicelebs never said Hispanic is a race. And it’s ridiculous to suggest they should make no mention of his Hispanic background because its origin is undetermined. At least this gives others the opportunity to do research on their own in order to arrive at an answer.
Yeah, I chose this pic, actually without the moustache he would even look less “exotic”. Kiedis claims Mohican/Mohawk ancesty but I don’t think it’s documented, and he’s not part Hispanic anyway, he’s from Midwest
He’s sometimes described as having Native American ancestry. Anyhow his mother has possibly Mexican roots, but she’s not exotic looking though.
I think he’s not the kind of guy who would hide something like that.
I’m going to go as far as neil who seems to think Boyd or his family is a liar… I’m just going on my impression from looking at him through out the years. I assumed he had some Asian ethnicity. Until we find out differently than he is just European. Could be just his spanish descent that makes him appear he is more than he is.

He favors her a lot. The eyes.
He’s European.
I used to think he had Asian ancestry…
