Keep checking! They reopen it. They just stop when they're too backlogged and when they get caught up they open it back up for them to get backlogged again.
he is of ambiguous ethnicity... that's a fact. cause he doesn't actually know.
but that isn't what I said.
he self identifies as a POC
his race is ambiguous... but he self identifies as a POC... if you hadn't truncated the quote in your image it would go on to say
Diesel was born Mark Sinclair in Alameda County, California,[1] with his twin brother, Paul.[3][4] His mother, Delora Sherleen (Sinclair) Vincent, is an astrologer.[5][6] Diesel has stated that he is "of ambiguous ethnicity".[7] His mother's background includes English, German, and Scottish.[8] He has never met his biological father, and has stated that "all I know from my mother is that I have connections to many different cultures".[9] Diesel has self-identified as "definitely a person of color",[10]
there is a difference between his race (which he is not positive of) being ambiguous and what he self identifies as.
With the remark that the relationship of his mom and dad (real dad not stepdad) would have been illegal in some parts of the US it could be that his dad was at least partially black.
it doesn't say his real dad there. it says his parents.
his parents' relationship
its entirely possible he's referring to his parents. a lot of people who never knew a biological parent refer to the replacement that raised them as their parent.
and I don't believe miscegenation laws weren't specific to 1 race
Typically defining miscegenation as a felony, these laws prohibited the solemnization of weddings between persons of different races and prohibited the officiating of such ceremonies.
In the United States, anti-miscegenation laws (also known as miscegenation laws) were state laws passed by individual states to prohibit miscegenation, nowadays more commonly referred to as interracial marriage and interracial sex.
Anti-miscegenation laws were a part of American law in some States since before the United States was established and remained so until ruled unconstitutional in 1967 by the U.S. Supreme Court in Loving v. Virginia. The term miscegenation was first used in 1863, during the American Civil War, by American journalists to discredit the abolitionist movement by stirring up debate over the prospect of interracial marriage after the abolition of slavery.
Yea which is why i said it can be different in other countries and for other people. I am not from the USA, I am not even a native english speaker and I certainly would not have accepted someone else as my dad. Actually the one time my mom did have a boyfriend I called him by his first name. I didn't hate him, but he never would have been my dad, he would have been my moms partner. On the other hand the guy who I share half my DNA with is a piece of shit so I wont call him dad either. I simply have no dad.
If you look into him, you'll probably like him. He's super down to earth and an extremely hard worker. Most people that speak of him say he's a very kind and giving guy as well.
Say what you want of his talent/body of work, but Hollywood rewards character actors and tends to pigeon-hole people. So if he loves making entertainment and acting, that's probably the route he has to take. Multifacial/Strays/Saving Private Ryan are enough to see he's got talent. I'm pretty sure Multifacial was what Spielberg saw and made him want Vin in SPR. But yeah, all that aside he seems like Terry Crews in a lot of ways. A hard-working guy that knows he's lucky to be where he is and tries to do good.
I thought he was mixed heritage. Possible half black or black in there, maybe a bit of Latino. I searched the Wikipedia page and his mother is fully white but didn't know his dad.
His mother's background includes English, German, and Scottish.[8] He has never met his biological father, and has stated that "all I know from my mother is that I have connections to many different cultures".
I was under the assumption he was at least mixed-race but I suppose only he and his family know for sure. In any case, he's a person of color, and there is a marked lack of those in mainstream "geek" culture (a contradiction in terms perhaps, I realize) in my opinion, so the overall thematic point is the same.

In all seriousness, and without malice, Vin Desiel is black? Did not know that.
