Schröder is the son of a German father and a Gambian mother.His father's name is Axel Schröder.

Must be a black German,right? (There are no pics of his father)

I know genetics love to play games on us, but this man doesn't look the least bit biracial.

Well, being German is a nationality. German is not a race or ethnic group of people. Based on his looks it is safe to say he is not biracial. He’s black.

I’m gonna try to find his German doppelgänger. And I’m talking full white, not half Black. This should be fun.

Edit: I found his British doppelgänger. Funny, that term is actually German.

Edit: Lord. It’s a joke. Y’all are so stank on here sometimes.

Clearly if his dad is German he is biracial, not all biracials are light skin. Some are indistinguishable from actual black people

I do know biracial comes in all colors but c'mon now. I've never seen a biracial who looks like this. I don't buy it. His father must be a black man from Germany but wiki focus on nationality that's why he's described as German. Ain't no way his half black half white....

He looks as monoracially black as it gets. I know that it’s extremely important to remember the “phenotype =/= genotype” principle, but come on now...there’s a line lol.

German is an ethnicity.. Germany itself is a nation state.

He probably has a German step dad who raised him.

Even if it was nationality, it would say afro german. It only mentions german, he clearly looks like his mother. Some people can look entirely like one parent.

This article claims his dad is white, it does not say anything about stepdad.
" middle-aged white technology firm manager in his hometown, the northern German industrial city of Braunschweig.The manager: his father, Axel. The letter: a reminder of a conversation they had just a week earlier about what a career in basketball could do for Dennis and the entire family. Dennis, then 16, discovered the one-page letter in the belly drawer of his father's desk one day after Axel was found dead, sitting back on his couch after eating lunch, of heart failure."

Doesn't have to point out "Afro". Depends on the person writing the page. For example, Mario Balotelli is not "Afro" Italian on wiki. He's just Italian.

He’s not. I’m guessing.
According to articles his bio father is white and the kicker, his older brother is not for the dad he is the biological father of Dennis.
"AXEL SCHRODER WAS ON VACATION in Banjul, the capital of West Africa's resort-laden Gambia, headed to a small German restaurant, Berliner, when he walked by a hair salon and spotted one of the stylists, Fatou Njie. A year later, she visited him in Germany on her way to see a sister living in Denmark. Not long after that, Axel convinced Fatou and her two adolescent children to move to Braunschweig. They were soon married and welcoming a son, Dennis."

Uh yes it does, they normally distinguish such a thing, it would mention his mother or father being descended from xyz african/caribbean country. I posted proof his dad is white though

No there is not, again you have some biracial who look completely white and wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

1. Have you ever seen a biracial who looked as monoracially black as the man in the OP?

2. Biracials who look completely white tend to be the product of a white parent and a heavily admixed black parent.

Yes to the first question and biracials who look completely white are possible even with non admixed parents. I didnt know genetics and phenotypes were this rigid.

His mother already had two children from a prior relationship, which tells me the German isn’t his dad. In this pc world, you’re not supposed to ask questions.

What are you talking about. Given the time of his birth it can more then lkely be the fathers biologically. He left and she came to germany and then they got married.

German is an ethnic group of people, they are Germanic white Europeans.

Non ethnic Germans are German nationals, but their ethnicity/origin remains the same.

I am British, but my parents are from Angola in Africa so therefore my ethnicity is Angolan.

I would never describe myself as English.

The kid has two African parents, no need to be PC. Men raise kids that are not theirs all the time.

There is no way this man is biracial, come on.
I can't believe there's a font in this thread really trying to convince us that there's even a remote possibility that this guy could be biracial. And not even a black and other POC type of biracial, but a half black and half white biracial, lol.

I've seen biracials born to black and Indian parents turn out to be fully monoracial black looking, but I just don't think it's possible that this guy has a white biological parent. Come on.
