How is Pat considered to be black? With his shirt open, his chest is the same color as his wifes. That means his face is makeup or a tan.
He's not. His father is Mulatto (if that's an acceptable word anymore) and his mother has blonde hair and doesn't appear to be the slightest bit anything other than of European descent.
Him being "black" just follows in the steps of Ward Churchill, Liz Warren, Rachel Dolezal, and The Rookie - 44.
Extreme financial incentives.
