@NICK RYAN GIGGS SAID MOST PEOPLE DON’T KNOW HE IS PART BLACK BUT HE IS VERY PROUD OF HIS BLACK BLOOD GOOGLE INTERMIX HE DID SAID THAT.
@nick ryan giggs father is half black jamaican and half white and his mother is white yes he is part black google , why white americans can’t accept a white person with a black ancestry?
Don’t worry America will become like Brazil/southern Europe eventually.They’re mono racial numbers keep dropping as the days go by,might as well just accept multiracial already.They always be white people whether you choose to see them and call them white is your own problem.Goodluxk getting extinct.
> America will become like Brazil/”southern Europe”?
What the hell does it mean…that southerm Europe is multiracial as Brazil?? There are barely little to no interracial marriages/unions between non European-immigrants and Southern Europeans. Birth rate is dramatically low anyway. Ah, I forgot, you believe Mike Tirico is fully Italian and Italians are 10-40% “Arab/African” LMFAO.
Actually he has to be part english too, I remember reading his mom had italian blood, which means his dad might actually had english blood.
It states on Wikipedia that his mom is Italian-American and that his dad is Welsh.
Im pretty sure its an English name. But i could be a Welsh name too??
