    According to what I’m seeing online his mother was a Caucasian woman of Louisiana Creole background born in North Carolina but race has a history of being a little more fluid in Louisiana. I see no evidence that she lived as anything but White.

    All of Ice-T’s mother’s traceable ancestors were from Virginia or North Carolina. I could not find any that were from Louisiana.
