he looks have part black
He doesn’t seem very black or native, he seems to have Lebanese part.
Sorry but what is Anglo American ?
I think someone who is of English ancestry.
Thanks for the answer lolx. I wonder why it is not written down as English why Anglo American.Just never heard the term Anglo American before.So Mark Salling ethnicity is English.
Anglo is another PC term like Caucasian or African-American. It supposed to mean White.
However Anglo refers specifically to People from the British Isles of the Anglo tribe/ethnic group.
Lol my comment got marked as offensive for asking whats Anglo was and then for saying thanks to someone that explained it. And for me saying so i said i guess his ethnicity is English was offensive.How did that offend anyone?
I don`t bloody know his ethnicity that`s why i asked i taught that is what this site was for.People here are so weird.
Typical on here they don`t like some comments that you make so they just mark you down for anything even when someone asked a simple question so childish.
he must have some black in it, her hair is curly
yeah, just like Taylor Swift lol
yeah just like Justin Timberlake too xD
Its possible expeciall if his family was in the Us around the time of slavery.
However not all people with curly hair have African blood, just as not all blacks that are light skinned have European blood.
African american who r light skinned have some white in their blood bcuz africians from africia are dark as night and their isn’t any light skinned ones who have their entire ansetory from africa..
i dnt think he has black…maybe native american or italian
