    Are the “small amounts” smaller than the Native American fractions? If so, why are they even included? To me, that’s what the text implies, more or less.

      Madman, since you added Noah Centineo, have you managed to locate his Puerto Rican and Native American ancestry?

      I bet when you added him on September 3, 2017, you didn’t imagine he would be ranking #1 on IMDB page visits exactly a year later.

        No, and we both know that, if the information already found is accurate, we won’t. But if you’re really uncertain, I don’t see why it says 50%, and doesn’t include “possibly other”.

        I didn’t, but I had the feeling he was a growing star, that’s why I submitted him.
