Okay, so the other day I was watching a Celtics game, and it got me thinking, “Is Jayson Tatum white?” I mean, I know he’s a killer on the court, but I realized I didn’t actually know much about his background.
My Starting Point: Total Guesswork
Honestly, my first thought was, “He looks kinda light-skinned, maybe he’s biracial?” I had absolutely nothing to base this on other than, you know, my eyeballs. Not exactly scientific.
Getting Down to Business: Google Time!
So, I grabbed my phone and fired up Google. I just typed in “Jayson Tatum ethnicity”. Simple as that. I wasn’t looking for anything fancy, just a quick answer.
What I Found: The Basic Facts
- First result that popped up was his Wikipedia page. Those things are usually pretty reliable, at least for basic info.
- It said his dad, Justin Tatum, is African-American. Okay, that made sense.
- And his mom, Brandy Cole, is described as white, with Irish and French ancestry.
Putting it Together: My “Aha!” Moment
So, there it was, plain as day. Jayson Tatum is biracial. His dad is Black, and his mom is white. It wasn’t some big mystery, just a simple fact I hadn’t bothered to look up before.
Why I Even Cared (and Why I’m Sharing)
I guess I got curious because, sometimes, we see these athletes on TV, and we forget they’re real people with families and backgrounds. This whole little search reminded me that everyone has a story. And sometimes, it’s cool to just take a minute to learn a little bit more about someone, even if it’s just a basketball player. Plus, it’s always fun to share something that will help people the next time this question is asked, so I decided to share this to everyone in my blog!
It might helped them too!
