When all else fails, throw in a Greek suffix!
I would not call that guy a mulatto because strictly speaking a mulatto is half-white and half-black and he does not look like he fits that bill. One could call him a "mulattoid," though, meaning like mulattos he shares features common to both the Negroid and Caucasoid races. One just has to decide how much Caucasoid or Negroid blood it takes to make one intermediate enough to be a mulattoid.
Stabilized groups in the Old World such as Aethiopids and Turanids deserve their own names because they are widespread, well-established, and relatively old racial types. But for New World races like mestizoids in Mexico and elsewhere, mulattoids in Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Dominican Republic, and tri-racials like in Brazil, I think one has a bit more freedom to classify.

If what you were saying was correct, people would have mistaken him for an indian (I know indians as black as him). Indians have don't have the same Jaw-line as American Caucasians which are Anglo-Saxon and Germanic. (Although Indians are fully caucasian in their own right.) Here... Does this make it any easier for you? Here he is again up close... I don't blame you for not seeing it. When you add all the cultural symbols, (like the dew-rag), and because the pic was small. ...But he is Caucasian, (at least 85%) and VERY Nordic. Here's an Indian by comparison.

We can't see his hair and the pic is too small. His lips do look thicker when you colored him white, though, and there is still some visible prognathy. And his skin is simply too dark to be 85% Caucasian. (Although Indians are fully caucasian in their own right.) Not really. Most of the so-called East Indians are hybridized with Veddoids to some extent.

Shape is infinitely more important then skin tone. Frenology lasts longer, and is slower to change. He's dark by American standards, but by African Standards, we should all be calling him snowflake. Mike... Look at the very same pictures you've been posting. What percentage would he need of that DNA pool to have moderately dark skin. (Plus his jaw appears darker then his forehead. Stuble?) ...They conveniently shot him in the shadow more, and her in front in the light. It's unfortunate we don't have a better picture. I'm tempted to write them, and find out who the model is. I'm sure he must have other work out there.

Yeah, but those girls are Nilotes. They're the blackest of the black. Most West African Negroes (Sudanids), of which the guy most certainly received his black genes from, aren't that dark normally.

Probably, but there's always that chance that his Great great great grandfather was a wondering Nilote who happened to get caught up in that whole nonesense. I still believe he's a little Whiter then that picture offers. More caucasian then most people here think. I'm strongly tempted to write them, ...but we may never know. This thread does prove one thing. ...That if you title a thread on a board like this with an accusation of racism, the posts will keep flying.

Look at this picture on the interracial dating site. This is just disgusting. Clearly, they are both Caucasian!! Look at the pronated jaw, and pronounced nose of the man holding the girl. Are they trying to say he's NOT Caucasian? ...It makes me sick. People can be so ignorant. ...Let's all go to the site and tell them what racists they are. www.interracialmatch.com/?tid=122acaucasion? what drugs are you on lol

Actually what this thread proves is you like taking people for rides by acting sincerely interested in race, when in fact you just take trolling to a new level
