Mamoudou Athie is a Mauritanian-American actor. His father, a diplomat, received political asylum in the U.S. when Athie was six months old. He was raised in New Carrollton, Maryland.
Would his parents background more likely be Haratin or one of the more recent SSA peoples in the country? All they ever speak of his background is that his dad was a former diplomat in the country who sought asylum in the U.S.
