Here is a Definition for African Americans below that may educate you and others...
An African American (also Afro-American and black American) is a member of an ethnic group in the United States whose ancestors, usually in predominant part, were indigenous to Sub-Saharan Africa. Many African Americans possess European, Native American and, to a lesser degree, Asian ancestry as well.
Blacks are also included in the broader term "people of color".
One may be considered African American in the United States of America if one has any known African ancestry. This definition reflects the long experience with racism, white supremacy, slavery, and, later, with Jim Crow laws. In the Southern United States, it became known as the one-drop rule, meaning that a single drop of "black blood" makes a person "black".
Some courts have called it the traceable amount rule, and anthropologists used to call it the hypodescent rule, meaning that racially mixed persons were assigned the status of the subordinate group. Prior to the one-drop rule, different states had different laws regarding color; in Virginia, for example, a person was legally black if he or she had at least one-sixteenth black ancestry. The one-drop rule was implemented by states in the southern United States during the early to mid-1880s

That was my first thought also. He is a very light shade of black. Like Tim Duncan. He is kind of black, but not as Black as Lovie.
