    you guys know about this website Google.com?

    Because of his dark skin and ethnic features, Tirico says, most people assume he is black. But he’s seen pictures of his father, his father’s mother and his father’s sister – all of whom are white, Tirico says. ”The only contact I had growing up was with my mom’s side of the family. And they are all as white as the refrigerator I’m standing in front of right now,” Tirico says.

    When people go around and say, ‘You are black’ – well, I don’t encourage it, but by the same token I don’t back off of it,” he says. ”If you want to call me that, that’s fine. But, you know, in my whole family, there’s nobody I know who is black.”

    Just one question. Who would you consider to be more self secure. A light skinned man of mixed race or an orange skinned man of white parents. Or would that be a "high orange" man.

    Was Tirico in that movie "me myself, and Irene"?

    Tell you what Op. Next time you get down Main St. stop in at Pure and ask the high yellow bartender for a whisky on me. Make sure you address him as Mr. High Yellow bartender.

    Enjoy the drink.

    Funny part is he professes to not know about his family:

    Tirico’s parents, Donald and Maria, were separated when he was about 4, and he says he has since lost contact with his father’s side of the family
    Someday, he says, he plans to do genealogical research to find out if he has a black ancestor, but it’s not something he considers a pressing issue. Tirico concedes, though, that his uncertain ethnicity sometimes makes other uncomfortable.

    what world do you live in? you have every kind of advantage by listing yourself as a minority for college. more financial aid more likely to be accepted. i've been in board rooms for corporations and universities and there has been a push for years to bend the rules as much as you can to accept more minorities to please the powers that be. A B+ black student is more likely to get into school and get more financial aid than an A white student. It's been this way for years and years.

    He's black. The mother obviously had an affair. He's got every black feature you can think of.
