According to the PBS documentary African American Lives Don Cheadle has 19–20% European DNA.

I am highly dubious of the ‘science’ behind determinative ethnic dna. I think it is not only highly dubious, but it is also dangerous in most context.

First of all his name is spelled Cheadle. Secondly, he looks mixed race like most U.S. blacks.

What do you want to point to some feature and say there’s the 20%?

This is a dumb question. Sorry, new user, but it is.

@cazzie Well, in a way that’s a relief.

@marinelife: Don Cheadle looks very African. That’s why he was picked for the role in Hotel Rwanda. I guess what the OP is trying to ask if one can notice and Euro features through his strong African looks.

If you have seen Hotel Rwanda did he look out of place or fit in pretty well?
