some of these are NOT multiracial.
Argentinians, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans are descendants of people from those countries.they are not one race countries!
Same as Japanese and Chinese,they are both of Asian race and not a race apart.
Ask a scientist: races don't exist. There is not enough difference between people from different places on earth to call it different races. Cool to see where everyone is from though :)
Arab and Lebanese are cultural and national designations, not racial. Most Arabs and Lebanese are white.
Similarly, Spain is a European country. No indigenous Spaniard is considered non-white! Hello! Spaniards conquered the "New World" believing that they as "white Europeans" were superior to the brown, "savage" Native Americans.
Many of the people with Latin American roots are not necessarily mixed-race. For instance, Argentina is considered to be a mainly white European country because it exterminated most of the Native Americans and former black slaves.
In particular, in Latin America, the white European phenotype is considered to be the genetic prize because white Europeans successfully conquered the Americas and continue to control the wealth and culture. Look at the telenovelas. One rarely sees indigenous, mixed, or African peoples in leading roles.
As for the Rock, yes he's half Samoan and also half African-American. Just as is Ms. Minaj is half-black.
Of course, for much of American history, being "black" in the U.S.A. was very inclusive because of the One Drop Rule. Therefore, most African-Americans are mixed-race.
I do appreciate your attempt to educate but you should do a better job of understanding race. Race is about looks, history, power, wealth, and privilege.
Freddie Mercury is iranian (persian),
parsi is iranian language!
Hispanics usually fall under white, and "Arab" is not a race. Most Arabs are white. You should either change the title to 'Multi-ethnic celebrities' or just take most of those people off of your list.
To one of the comments:
Freddie Mercury is indeed Parsi. Parsi refers to a people-group in India who haven't inhabited the area known as Iran for over 1,000 years. You're thinking of "Farsi," the dominate language of Iran. Now, whether he should be defined as "multi-racial" is entirely different.
Yeh thats right parsi people have been in india for over 1000 years, I dont think you can call him an iranian anymore--- You can thank the muslim conquest for that.
Some serious surprises and yup freddy mercurary (birth name faroukh bulsara) was a Parsi Gujarati who Indian and lived in Zanzibar when a revolution occurred killing the Indians and Arabs his family moved to London...therefor safe to say he was not mixed race.
Also, it's quite clear to see that niki is half black, it's nice to see a website also celebrating her Indian side...
