Yeah, he's considered Black. Jamesaritchie, are you referring to the anti-Americanism or the attitudes to English speakers? And backslashbaby, I knew that about the colorism. In fact, in the very first scene, the young woman he's working for makes a bigoted comment about Black West Indians (along the lines of the President is a puppet who's
letting too many Blacks in, why doesn't he enforce immigration laws etc typical bigoted stuff) and he jumps in shock. He thinks this woman (who's very light-skinned and is a politician) is referring to him and his foster mother, who's also considered Black. (BTW, the protagonist is loosely based on a historical figure who wasn't Black, but who was anti-American.) Another BTW- Brutal Mustang, are you Costa Rican or did you just grow up there?
About how dark he is- pretty dark brown. There's an important character who's darker than him, though. ETA: Is there anything offensive about describing someone's skin as almost black?
