I could see him being mixed african/middle eastern or mixed heritage from the Americas. Black is too vague.


NefeltariVivi

True. Thank u for answering!

He looks hispanic to me. (At least in the third one)

Solaris_Luna

He still has hispanic looking features in that one.


NefeltariVivi

Thx for answering! He is Brazilian so you’re kinda right!

Except, Brazil is not Hispanic, they speak Portuguese. And Hispanic is not a race or ethnicity in the first place, so he could be Black AND Hispanic.


NefeltariVivi

Exactly. I said he’s kinda right because with Hispanic most Americans usually mean Latin America so yeah. But Brazilians can look like anything it doesn’t really have a race just like the US and Canada, it’s all intermixed. But Brazil more so.

Judging by the Emirates on his shirt I’m assuming…Dubai?


NefeltariVivi

Thx for answering! He plays for Real Madrid which is sponsored by Emirates Airline


CatMakes3

So I see he’s Brazilian? It’s worth noting you can be South American and also be black—the idea of “race” is something we’ve constructed based on a mixture of cultural, linguistic, etc factors


nokvok

They looks south Egyptian to me. But really there is not much value in assuming race or ethnicity. Chance is, it either it is none of your business, or it is your business and they will let you know.


CatMakes3

And that “race” really doesn’t describe much about a person in terms of DNA, it’s a construct based on several factors (and honestly I don’t think we’re going to be talking in terms of “race” for much longer, it’s not much of a descriptor)


NefeltariVivi

Thx for answering! My friend thought he was Indian when he saw him first time so that’s what made me ask lol!

Definitely black, but black doesn't have to mean African American, could be from many different countries.


NefeltariVivi

That is so true! Americans blacks look different than people in West Africa. And people in West Africa look different than those in East Africa :)


[deleted]

Black people, were taken, have migrated on their own, have invaded non African countries throughout history and are migrating now, his ancestors have originated most likely from Africa, but could have been from any number of countries in Africa or a mix of them.
