Kris is quadroon not biracial.
Samira is correct; Kris Humphries is 1/4 black and 3/4 white, not half and half. Kris Humphries father is half and half. Kris’s grandfather was mostly (or all) of black ancestry and his mother was white. In the 1800’s, Kris would have been referred to as a quadroon.
why does it say he has a black father?…his father is biracial, not black. I think whoever made this is just trying to sweep his fathers heritage under the carpet (which is ironic since the whole purpose of this site is to reveal the persons actual etnicity
no offense, but what kind of breakdown is this?
