Malcolm’s mother was half white.
Malcolm was lighter skinned than his siblings and they called him Chicago Red because of the red tint of his hair.
His maternal grandfather/great gf was Scottish.
And this is what Malcolm had to say about him (from his wikipedia page):
“Her Scottish father was a white man of whom Malcolm Little knew nothing except what he described as his mother’s shame.[12] Malcolm inherited his light complexion from his mother and grandfather. Initially he felt it was a status symbol to be light-skinned, but later he would say that he “hated every drop of that white rapist’s blood that is in me.”[”
