Well from what I learned a couple of months back the character is just exactly like he was in the book in terms of racial background (the mother of the character is black) and appearance. So the movie makers were just being true to the novel which I'll admit doen't always happen.
That's new to me. I've heard them maybe claim some Native American, Spanish, or even some Latin blood but NOT BLACK unless the were actually mixed or wiggas :!:
i never heard a white guy admit to having some black in him either.. the great thing about life tho, is that everyone experiences different things at different times.. case in point, the white guy trying to get some cred by tellin mugs he has some jiggaman in his blood
:? ...Ahhhhh on 2nd thought, I now think it should have been Amber Tamblyn. I mean check her legs out 'cause the girl's body looks B4B>>>BUILT FOR BLACK :!: :twisted:
