OP here and I actually do read Shadow as explicitly mixed race, likely part black. It's not about what he is as much as what he appears. Like the other anon said, when it comes to people who are mixed race, it's only the white-passing ones that get asked questions like 'so do you have ____ blood'. So to me, he's explicitly not OBVIOUSLY black, or people wouldn't be asking him the kinds of questions they are.

Like it's not about 'well he's never stated to NOT be black so it's possible for him to be'. Rather, it's that the way people talk to him in the book regarding the assumptions they're making about his race based on his looks - people irl do NOT talk talk like that to a guy who looks obviously / immediately black in the way Ricky Whittle does. If he actually looked like that, no one would be questioning his race at all.

"If [Shadow] actually looked like [Ricky Whittle], no one would be questioning his race at all."

This is exactly it.

Big guy, intimidating, mixed but not obviously of an expected racial group... so, you're saying Vin Diesel. Vin Diesel should be Shadow.

I mean like, I'd be 100% on board with this.

Plus Vin Diesel is like an actual facts nerd who likes D&D and who can come off as a huge puppy. Half the point of Shadow is he's got surprise interests that people don't expect a big guy to have, so even that side of things would work...

DA

Vin Diesel circa F&F1 or Wentworth Miller circa Prison Break - with tan skin, when he doesn't look "too white" - were always what I pictured Shadow to be like.

^ actual mixed race actors.

[(Anonymous)]

They would both be amazing choices.
