poll do you classify johnny depp as a person of color?

[Ricardo1993]

I recently found out on twitter that Johnny Depp has a distant black ancestor from the 1700s. People on twitter were jokingly calling him a man of color but is he really? Anderson Cooper also has a distant black ancestor from farther back.

[MotoPapi]

No. He’s white. 
 

white people in the us love claiming their 1% Cherokee heritage when it’s convenient

That's not how it works sis. Having a black parent/grandparent isn't the same as having black ancestors from centuries ago. 

 

Tldr; he's white trash.

[Antisocialites]

um anyways so

[Thinking Of You]

He’s always been racially ambiguous to me.

 

But no, one Black ancestor does not make him a person of color.

[allforyou]

He definitely looks ambiguous however he's white

[Illuminati]

I mean he's kinda like Halsey

[Revolution]

imo no

[est. in 90s]

According to the One Drop Rule that many still follow to this day, he would be. That's why ppl need to stop following ODR. It's not only inherently racist but would allow a Johnny Depp to claim himself as Black/POC b/c of that one drop of Black blood from that ancestor no matter how ridiculous it would be.

This has to be the stupidest thread I have read in 2022 

[tost1]

[Green]

A Halsey tea

[Cloröx]

 

[Lovett]

No, obviously not.

[Nip Tuck]

[Monster Queen]

All people here and on Earth share the same ancestor in Africa, we're all African!

there was a white supremacist man who went on a tv show hosted by two black women and they unveiled his dna test results and he had like 3% african ancestry but looked white AF, so no jd isn't a poc just because he has a black ancestor. stupid ass take

Mariah's father is a black man - completely different situation. She's 100% of mixed heritage and considers it an important part of her identity, especially after Mottola and Sony attempted their hardest to whitewash her to the masses.

 

And even then, Mariah knows her privilege as a white-passing woman, and never caught herself in any tone deaf or racially insensitive controversies.

Mariah's dad is person of colour, therefore, Mariah IS a person of colour.

 

Back on topic, YES! he's as black as Christina Aguilera, both people of colour 

[FunCoric]

Yes, just like rosalía or xtina

[Aristede]

From the 1700s? That was 300 years ago. Too far in the past to mean anything now. But it's funny to me to see the people who are called "white passing" on Twitter and things. Sometimes I'll think "Are we looking at the same person? They're clearly not totally white." To me, Mariah isn't really white passing. Especially in the 90s before she had her blonde hair. She doesn't look black but doesn't look completely white either. 

[Scars]

What's even 'racially ambigious' about that white man? I swear some of you see a white person that may not look like a lobuster after standing under the sun for 3 minutes and go "not european!".
