Question

How much of don cheadle ancestors were white?

Answer 1

Well I am not fully sure but I will tell you this about half of African Americans have European ancestry.  Skin tones have very little to do with being of a mixed ancestry.  It's almost standard for African Americans to have some European or to a lesser extent Native American ancestry.

Don Cheadle is a black man obviously but his having dark skin has little to do with ancestry.  I have dark skin yet have mixed ancestry.  There are tons of dark ppl who arent even black so there is no need to be stuck on complexion.

Answer 2

You must have seen the show on PBS. So did I, it was very interesting. I think they said he was like 15% white or something. I was surprised because he's so dark skinned.
