    Something which often surprises me with this site is the amount of inaccurate stuff. And even put into featured posts.

    To begin with, just looking at this guy, it’s clear there’s something wrong with *English (father) *African (mother). What the hell does it mean “African”??

    His mother is mixed-race being his maternal grandmother a white woman.
