He’s mixed
@Not true. I am Carribean and have some Barbadian relatives .Most Barbadians are barely mixed or none at all and are very close to pure African. Many only have %5 non black admixture. Plus I dont consider anyone mixed if they have two black parents. Its crazy to keep mixing people up if they have a different race relative 100yrs ago. If thats the case everyone in the world would be considered mixed. Ive traveled to Barbados three times its a black island.
If that were the case, Rihanna would have been teased for being light skinned with light eyes. Most Barbadians are not mixed.
