Bartholomeus was an Austrian emigrant, who was born in Hohenthurn, Villach-Land, Carinthia, and was the son of Bartholomeus Kropfl, from Draschitz, Villach-Land, and of Luzia Kugi, who was born in Hohenthurn. Tobey’s great-grandmother Ana was born in Isabela, Puerto Rico, the daughter of Isidro Benejam Font/Pont and Francisca González Ortiz.
Tobey’s maternal grandfather was Kenneth Bernard Brown (the son of Walter John Brown and Gertrude Mary Fredericks/Frydrychowski). Kenneth was born in California. Walter was the son of Isaac Brown and Lena Paterson/Peterson, who was of German origin. Gertrude was the daughter of Victor/Wictor Walter Frydrychowski/Fredericks/Fredricks, who was born in Illinois, to Polish parents; and of Bertha/Bronisława Kate Amborski/Amborska, who was born in Indiana, also to Polish parents.

Margaret was born in Cape Town, South Africa, and moved to the U.S. with her family c. 1933. Edward was born in Hartlepool, Durham, England. Daisy was born in Cape Town, the daughter of English parents, William Henry Blight and Annie Marie Crewdson Jones. Daisy also had small amounts of German and Cornish ancestry.

wow,he looks so white,I never thought he was part puerto rican(black,native american,spanish)
there are whites in the island
yes,but very few,like blacks,only about 5%
not very few, about half puertoricans are white.
white for you must be someone who has fair skin,search for the meaning of the white race. And put here the proof of these “half puerto ricans” who have FULLY european ancestry
About 75% of Puerto Ricans identify as white in Puerto Rico. However this isn’t accurate as genetic studies show the average Puerto Rican is basically a quadroon with Native ancestry.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2727756/
“We estimated the genetic ancestry of 1129 subjects from the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study, based on genotypes of 100 ancestry informative markers (AIMs). We examined the effects of ancestry on tests of association between single AIMs and disease traits. The ancestral composition of this population was 57.2% European, 27.4% African, and 15.4% Native American. ”
However the Native seems a bit high as I didn’t Puerto Ricans had that much Taino ancestry.
It says BOSTON Puerto Rican Health Study. If what I’m told is true, Afro- Puerto Ricans make up a larger percentage of Puerto Rican diaspora in the mainland US, than in the island itself which could skew the data a bit, so while it’s true that their genetic composition is not purely white, it still is mostly white as the census shows. I don’t see why a person that’s 80% white wouldn’t consider themselves white.
My fucking ass he’s part Hispanic. He looks like a plain white guy.
Oh my god, he’s only one eighth! Of course he looks white. You know, you can get Puerto Ricans that are of mostly ‘White’ Spanish ancestry..
Yeah, he’s only 1/8th Puerto Rican. Why would they be shocked that he looks white?
his ‘hispanic’ ancestry is probably at leastin part from SPAIN. Europe. White.
The comment above that Maguire can be Irish is silly. It is Irish and only Irish.
woah didnt know spidey was latino
he is part, not 100%.
Hey follers,
nothing I’ll say is related to Tobey, but I wanted to hear your opinion on Paris and Prince I Jackson, since everyone’s dashing about them.
THANKS :)
Follers, he is not Hispanic ethnicity because he has all the rest of the other ethnicities. He is Caucasian, and his closest friend is actually a famous actor that everyone knows and Caucasian. He is the first Caucasian with the hispanic heritage to be on spiderman, but He was not raised at all latino and hispanic since he is raised around caucasians
Hispanic is a lingual culture/ethnicity! There are white Hispanics, black Hispanics, mestizo, NA etc etc and Tobey is white Hispanic. A white that has ancestors in a Spanish speaking country. Dammit get some education. And so what? My best friend is black, I’m still not black myself!
every other Latino is Caucasian too. travel a little more, Argentina, Uruguay has more white people in percentage of their population than the United States, places like Chile and Costa Rica it’s about 80 percent of their people are white. places like Puerto Rico and Cuba about 50% of their people are white, even Mexico about 30 % of their population are white. people need to travel a bit more because they talk without knowing anything.
More like do you believe that they’re MJ’s kids?
@follers
(No, I definitely don’t think they are his biological children. It’s physically pretty much impossible, given that Michael Jackson, if you rewind the tape far back enough, was really a black man.)
I seriously have to disagree with you on this.
Mike was a black American,it wasn’t like he was part of the Dinka tribe.So for him to have white kids,from white woman(imo are about 35-50%).I can tell I have more experience than you do with this.I have a white niece,and little white 2nd cousins,from this type of union.Now granted, both sides of my families are Creoles,so there is a higher chance(when mixed with new white boood).However this still happens,this brings me back to(Jamila Wideman)her Dad is black,yet she’s white(as far as we know,he’s her bio dad).Then what about someone like Eartha Kitt,her daughter is white.Should we believe that’s not Eartha daughter,because Eartha is black.When you have blk/white unions of this type,your rolling the dice
Now granted,I didn’t think they were mike’s bio kid either,but for a different reason.
