The guy’s white. I assume he changed his name.
US Ebola patient Ashoka Mukpo once hailed as reincarnated lama
“His mother, Diana Mukpo, comes from an upper-class aristocratic family in Britain. At age 16, she left boarding school in Scotland and married Tibetan Buddhist leader Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, who founded the Shambhala community that spread Buddhism in the west. She was one of several wives.”

Ashoka Mukpo was adopted at some point in his life by his stepfather, a Tibetan lama whose family name was Mukpo, and who is better known by the name Chogyam Trungpa, Rinpoche.
When Trungpa passed away in 1987, I suppose that his wife Diana Mukpo went on with her life, as did Ashoka.
