How can Antonio Sabato Jr. be billed as an Italian-American actor, when his mother is Czech? He is 1/2 Italian and 1/2 Czech. Why aren’t the mom’s included in the bloodline of the child?
Look at Tiger Woods, billed as a black man. His dad isn’t even a full blooded black man. His mother IS full blooded Chinese. So, he is 1/2 Chinese, then black and whatever else his dad has in his background. Give me a break. Women get pregnant, carry the pregancy, give birth, many breastfeed, and take care of the child.
Let’s start including our mothers in our bloodline, our heritage… don’t just pick and choose the one you think is COOL.
