He’s high yellow...but you are right that doesn’t matter. Besides, it was probably the white part of him that did this.
I said he was Asian when he was on the ground. That was a side view. I could not see that he might have been black, too, until seeing a front view.
We used to call that "High Yaller" where I grew up.
As for the part of him responsible for doing this: Yeah, the media will probably play up his "White" upbringing, and Newsweek will lighten his complexion à la OJ Simpson.
