A question of color

During the Blackhawks-Blues game last night Bryce Salvador and Shawn Thornton had a little dance at the end of the first period.
My question is: is Bryce Salvador Black or White? Compare his head to his fist.

First of all, what does it matter? Now, here's what I found. He has the Grant Fuhr look to him, so I would think that he is mixed of some sorts. Allt he pix in the links look different.

As a Blues fan, he is African-American.

I might also want to note that people come in all shades of color. There is no one shade for all caucasians and one shade for all African-Americans.

Joe Juneau and Theoren Fleury are minorities???

QFE :D

I suppose there are more than just PC reasons to not say black and white ..... maybe because people really aren't black or white...
