They should have included Mindy Kaling’s brother.

I might have said this before here, but I dated a guy whose stepfather had a brother who allegedly had left the family to pass as a white man. The stepfather was fairly light skinned, in fact he was the kind of person that you wouldn’t be sure of his ethnicity.

Remember Doug Wilder, the first black gov. of Virginia? To me he was totally white looking. I was shocked when I finally saw a picture of him.

And how about that author who writes over at National Review - Kevin Williamson? From his picture I always, always, always thought he was black. I love the guy, btw.

But recently I read a piece by him where he said: as a white guy.... (Can’t remember what that piece was even about). Again, I was totally shocked.

How did you know he was white looking if you hadn't seen a picture of him?

But anyway, meet Congressman Butterfield:

And of course there was Walter White of the NAACP:

And Adam Clayton Powell IV:
