Yes, when I was a kid I thought he was white. He could be if we use that term in a broader sense.


My guess:

Lama: mulatto
Desailly: paleo-congoid
Thuram: paleo-congoid
Vieira: sudanid
Djorkaeff: armenid + turanid
Zidane: berberid
Boghossian: armenid
Karembeu: australid
Henry: caucaso-congoid (1/4 EURO, 3/4 SSA approximatively)
Diomede: paleo-congoid
Trezeguet: castizo

Zidane and Poghosyan are white. Djorkaeff is half Armenian and half Kalmyk(Asian). Everyone else is clearly nonwhite

Something like this. I think Vieira might pass as a very dark-skinned Indian.

Two of them are clearly white. Just because they're not European that doesn't mean they're "non-white".

I would not have problem to consider them as white personally. But I know that for some people white = european.

He is Senegalese.

Yes, Zidane is Berberid (archaic Cromagnid found in North Africa) and Boghossian is a Dinaro-Med, as this photo shows:
