A Reddit user asked Google if Vin Diesel was white

A Reddit user decided to ask Google what race the 48-year-old American-born actor was, typing in the question: "Is Vin Diesel white?"

The answer said: "Vin Diesel has the skin of a White man, the facial features of a Black man, an Italian American sounding first name, Vincent (his last name by birth), a Black voice and a very Black sense of cool. He is the perfect multiracial and multicultural hero."

The stunned social network user shared the result of his query on Reddit, and wrote: "I asked Google a very simple question. I did not get the answer I expected."

"All I know from my mother is that I have connections to many different cultures," Vin said.

The action hero was raised with his astrologer mother and African-American step-father, Irving H. Vincent, who worked as an acting instructor and theatre manager.
