This list is wrong on so many levels.
OK... after googling "is vin deisel black?" The best I could come up with is that Vin Diesel has never actually said what his ethnic background is aside from it being "complicated." (multiple websites have speculated he has done this to be able to take on more diverse roles. According to one website he has been casted as Latino, Jewish, Black and White). Therefore I challenge his inclustion on the list pending a new version of Dave Chappelle's racial draft (which my funniest Chappelle skit). Moreover, Samuel L Jackson should be the Uruk Hai leader because it would give him much better opportunity to scream his signature line. "The Mutha F@#!in Halflings are property of Mutha F*&%in Saruman!" before lopping of someother orcs head. It really works much better that way.
BTW Dave Chappelle is perfect for Gollum.

PS. I now know way more about Vin Diesel than anyone should know.
Vin Diesel is supposed to be white (or dubiously black at best) for my purposes. Note that Robert Duvall and Anthony Hopkins aren't exactly African either... and note what roles they're cast in :-)
