Preach.... I'm Nigerian, Scottish, Wales and European... We all know where the mix came in..I'm still dealing with that part of my DNA....smh

[@bobbyschannel349]

Yeah putting the Dorothy Dandridge thing up there. It was really weird.. that is not a biracial woman, they're going to have to count half of the damn black American ethno- group as biracial. If Dorothy Dandridge is mixed biracial

[@bobbyschannel349]

Mostly European not that much Native american..

[@dynel.dillard]

First many of us are not from Africa.

[@ladymary22]

Anthony Quinn was open about being of Mexican and Irish descent.

[@harounali7917]

NEITHER MEXICAN OR IRISH ARE RACES!

[@goldenflower5134]

Yes, my mom told me when I was a little girl of Quinn’s biracial heritage over 60 years ago.

[@Ohdeedee]

SO boring. I expected people such as Carol Channing. (“Hello Dolly”). Her father was African-American. She published her autobiography and that’s when she disclosed it. That should have been #1.

[@Jake-nk4wg]

And, all "us black folk" knew Lena Horne was black without books, prior telling on her part (just looking at her was obvious to us), etc. which is indeed a compliment. Black is beautiful in all shades we encompass.

[@sdseals2076]

Her father was part African American, not 100%. He could and did pass for white.

[@bobbyschannel349]

​@@sdseals2076the Black American community.. that is a lot of our heritage and identity. We are not pure blood West Central africans. We have had a mixture of bloodline. And that's always been our case.. but that is what we are, that is not who you are. We do not identify with the European ancestry we identify with our black ancestry... black Americans on average have 20% European.. basically. Most black Americans have mulatto backgrounds.. Lena Horne is a black woman she identifies as it and stated it and it was proud of it.. her daughter wrote a book expressing The Pride that her mother had in her blackness.

[@ReneeBraxton]

​@sdseals2076 That's exactly what I was thinking.

[@Jake-nk4wg]

@@sdseals2076 FACT: No black person, "African American", is "100%" neither are other groups including most whites.

This is suppose to be a list of biracial actors yet the list omits Dona Drake, Carol Channing, Kay Francis, and even Clark Gable who all had African American ancestry. Frank Silvera and Juanita Hall were also racially mixed actors who should have made the list.

[@nancycurtis488]

Clark Gable was proven to have no black heritage at all…..his heritage was mainly German.

[@Illuminate-gg5yt]

@TheReneex...Dona Drake and Clark Gable werent really. The anonymous internet person who claimed to have records on Dona Drake never showed anyone. Drake's only known family members were Hispanic. I'm Biracial, so it would've been cool, but I hate fake stuff

[@mickymickymike4105]

Hispanic means that anyone that comes from a Spanish speaking country is indeed Hispanic. Latino is anyone that comes from a Spanish speaking country in the Americas. Spanish is anyone that comes from Spain. A Latino is not Spanish but a Latino and Spanish person are both Hispanic.

[@TheMidnightBell07]

Hey, is it just me or does anyone else find this annoying?( I don't mean the video but something said alot but came to light in this video) When they mentioned the first person (Merle Oberon) they classified her as half Indian and Half European. They claimed she his her Indian Half and even went so far as making her mother take the role as a servant. Then they talked about Dorothy Dandridge and Lena Horne saying they had African, Native, and European but referred to them as just African American. Hattie McDaniel's Native American descent never came up anywhere and I've read a lot of stuff on her. My point is if you are mixed with African you don't get a chance to explore you other side in Hollywood; in fact even in movies where it was key they had actors that had no African Heritage playing the rolls. Imitation of Life comes to mind (and let me stop you before you say it) While Fredi Washington was of mixed heritage she was still considered Black and the remake didn't have an actress in that roll that had any African ancestry so it got even more bizarre. Oh my Gosh I can't watch this video anymore. It just went from stupid to insulting. Rita Hayward was called Biracial. The narrator claims that While her mother was Irish and English and her father was from Spain. He also claimed that RIta had to downplay her Hispanic Descent. Let me help anyone that doesn't understand why this is so ignorant. Rita is of European Heritage and the three groups named are all from Europe. She has no Hispanic Heritage. She's White and isn't not mixed with anything non European. They never mention her even having a hint of Native American. Hispanic Heritage consists of Native American Ancestry, mixed with Spanish ancestry and sometimes African and Indian (Indian for anyone that doesn't know this is not the same as Native American)

[@margaretthayer8266]

Your wrong about Rita Hayworth; her father WAS SPANISH. When she was young she danced Flamenco as her father's partner as she was an accomplished dancer which helped her succeed in Hollywood. As the White mother of a son who father is Jamaican it's extremely important that BOTH SIDES of a child's heritage should be celebrated not hidden! People cannot conveniently deny either side pretending one does exist and one is prevalent over the other!!!!! And it has a name BI-RACIAL!

[@TheMidnightBell07]

@@margaretthayer8266 Hey, Wrong about what? I know her father was Spanish because in her bio it says he's from Spain. Spain is in Europe which makes him White and not Hispanic. Native or Indigenous mixed with Spanish blood is what makes one Hispanic and she had none. She was a Lady that has Spanish roots which are European just like Greek, Italian, German and so forth. She's just not Anglo Saxon but she's White/European just the same.

[@TheMidnightBell07]

@@margaretthayer8266 Hey, what are his Nationalities. I can't just say with no pictures or details. A lot people just don't realize what is meant by Latin. Latin American means European people got together with Indigenous people. The Indigenous people combined with the European shared their dna. The normally Olive Complexion of The Latin From Europe mixed with the Reddish Brown complexion makes for a beautiful Brown. The Indigenous contributed a lot of cultural aspects while the European contributed the Spanish language.

She had electrolysis to pull back her hairline and I read it was very painful.

[@FreshLounger]

The title is misleading. A lot of the people cited are obviously not biracial.

[@johnphillips781]

EXACTLY!!!!!!!

[@98slp]

Why is it so important to talk about black blood. All humans have the same blood, there is no difference. Every race has a shade of brown skin depending where you are from. White folks lets get off this train of thinking that you are better than other races because you are no different than any other race. I'm so sick of people talking like this. We are all human, created by the same God in the same way. No race is any better than any other race.

[@tracyb.173]

From what I read both of Actor James Shigeta's parents are of Japanese descent. You didn't tell what makes him to be biracial. Because he was born in America doesn't make him biracial. I am confused with this one.

According to the book on her by Donald Bogle, there was some speculation that Dorothy's biological father was white. Ruby Dandridge had a bad habit of always leaving Cyril Dandridge & she often worked as a maid for white people. And we know what happened in those homes (iykyk). When she was born, some people questioned Dorothy's appearance as to why she looked so different from Ruby. Ruby claimed that she took after Cyril, who she really did not resemble.
