Well known British tv/radio presenter, who's name is Reggie Yates, raised in England. I don't think he looks particularly fully Ghanian, although this is his ethnicity. Most people from Ghana who I have ever seen, have tended to be very dark, probably one of the darkest countries on average in Africa. Also, Reggie and Yates don't sound like very African names to me.

I think he looks like a typical Jamaican/West Indian, or like someone who was a quarter/half European.

Maybe his ancestry is from various parts of Africa?

No, he doesn't look fully Ghanaian. Looks like a mulatto. With the surname Yates, he might be partly English, Scottish, or even Irish. There is NO way Yates is an Akan surname.

Apparently both his parents are ghanaian.

I can't spot anything Euro in him. Some people from this part of Africa can be surprisingly light.

Such phenotypes do exist in Westafrica.

He does resemble some Cuban I've seen so he might be mixed.

If anything I doubt he is mulatto (50/50), rather closer to 3/4 African. His nose looks entirely negroid.

Yeah, that's what I probably think too. He looks like a quarter British or something.

Flat?
