I think that's the reason people like Vin Diesel don't say anything; their managers tell them that once you say you're black...it limits you That would have to be a real dumb-ass agent/manager who would believe that other people can't see it. Everything about Vin Diesel shouts PART-BLACK. You would have to be blind not to see it; I mean he looks straight-up biracial! In fact, he looks like every other West Indian guy (colour-wise that is. If every other West Indian guy looked like that I would be quite a ho by now! ;D) I must admit to having been thrown by Jessica Alba though. I would love to dig further back in her heritage and see if there were any black ancestors there. She pings my "multirace-dar" like mad and I can't believe it just her Mexican blood.

What with her pencil azz?!
You are right about that. I was wondering why there was any debate/confusion. When I first saw Vin Diesel, he was at Sundance, and I was like, wow, a we got another black film maker.

Tatiana always threw me off because of the hair.
Jessica looks way better with dark hair. Then she went brown, on to blond, back to brown again. She might be skinny now, but during Dark Angel she was a little anorexic. I think she still has issues. Jessica said she was the fattest person on the set of Never Been Kissed (fatter than Drew, I don't think so). And that everybody in her family is overweight. I don't see the black in her. And I'd be surprised if anybody in her family got anywhere near black in the past.

Jessica Alba looks like she has quite a bit of black ancestry to me. I know a lot of white people who think she does as well. What is her boyfriend, Cash Warren?

That's a good question veronica, considering she looks just like my mom when my mom was younger. I too wonder about her boyfriend. Both of them would fit in quite well in my family.

Since she's half-Mexican, I can't see this, because there are just not a lot of black people in Mexico, nor have there been in the past, unlike Panama and the Caribbean nations.

Maybe from her Dutch side? I don't know if it's true or not, but a teacher once stated that there is a big population of blacks in Holland. Her mom is French/Dutch, no?
For her Mexican side, she might have some black from there. If there is, it would be too small amount to show. Her father is, I believe, full-Indigenous. Which would explain her beautiful dark skin.

This might be an interesting website resource for this thread. Maybe you guys have seen it before but it is a pretty good read. And I don't think it's been posted here yet.: Mixed Media Watch.

Re: J Alba's appearing black
I know she sure did in Honey, and I didn't notice that before about her.
