He´s hot as hell.
Mark was close to being 100% Italian.
I find people who are 3/4 something intriguing.
intriguing?!?!?!?!? how in the fuck is that “intriguing”? that’s nothing special. no one is pure anything. lmfao even white people have mixed nationalities (i’m talking about white americans). mark is a white american so of course he’s not going to be 100% italian (unless his parents were italian immigrants, but they’re not). most white americans don’t even know what the fuck their roots are. they’re like a mix german, english, irish, scottish, ect…. they have a lot of mixed nationalities. only people from european countries are pure. i would never date a white american man but some of them european white men are sexy af! idk why but they look better than white american men. most white american men are ugly.

“I find people who are 3/4 something intriguing”
who?
I’m curious.
I mean in general, being more than half of an ancestral group, but not quite fully.
thank you for the reply.
It is only interesting if they are 7/8 Italian and 1/8 Jewish like Asia Argento.
His father is of Italian descent. His maternal grandfather was of French Canadian descent and his maternal grandmother was of Italian descent.
Look at this mother’s site:
http://web.mac.com/jerryhull/iWeb/Site/About%20The%20Artist.html
He has French on his Mom’s side. Can’t believe he is 44, he does not look it!
So did I. He looks mixed.
What do you mean by Latin American ?
Right.I thought she was Mexican.
*He
He does look a bit Mexican. He does not look fully white to me.
(Headsmack) Really?? Seriously?? how are you both not realizing this?? First, the Caucasian race featured before Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Saxon is a mixture of Anglo with Saxon. I mean it does not take much common sense to realize that. Also, Mexicans are diverse from White, Amerindian, to Black and Mexican is an ethnicity. That means you could be Mexican or any white persssson, Mexican, and he looks Italian with French. Also, what about Greek and Roman History? You know that is not Anglo-Saxon only right? One group also cannot be a race; that one group can only be a heritage. Only several groups that relate close to genetics can be a race. That is why Jewish, Greeks, Italian, Spaniards/Hispanics, some Latinos with European only, Anglo-Saxons, and so on the list classify as Caucasian. Even people that have one drop of African and rest European are Caucasian. Fuckin’ idiots. I mean seriously, it does not take a definite rocket scientist for this sh–. I don’t care if you are prejudice towards other people that are not Anglo-Saxon, everyone has something to be prejudice about and no one cares about that stuff sometimes, but to go and say white people are not white. You are a fuckin’ idiot. Also boy tom thinking oh mexican looks like this and this, maybe you should go back to school and learn some fuckin’ history. I mean seriously that is pathetic.
Nice name you pathetic racist. You must live a pretty trivial life. Go bang your sister some more.
