Mixed Race/Culture

"The 2001 National Census revealed Mixed Race as the third largest and fastest growing ethnic minority group in the UK."
"In 2000, the US National Census revealed that there were nearly 7 million multiracial people living in the country. Mixed-race children under 18 make up the fastest-growing segment of the population."

From Elvis to Barack Obama, this is a light-hearted celebration of well-known people/celebrities who are, racially or culturally, of mixed heritage. I've left out people who are a mix of any of the Western European countries and American (such as Viggo Mortensen who is half American, half Danish) and people who are a mix of any nationality, but all of them Jewish (such as Natalie Portman - both her parents are Jewish even though they are of Austrian/Russian and Polish/Romanian descent respectively). Had to draw the line somewhere!
