@porndog and marcus carls: Thank you for bringing a bracing mix of logic, sanity and reality-based pragmatism (or “real talk”) to this conversation.

Sorry Info and Littlebird. Check porndog’s post, which explains it all. You are right, Info, that Puerto Ricans are a mix, but *really* who isn’t in the Americas?

True, to think that a Latino is *only* black is inaccurate. But it’s inaccurate for Michelle Obama, too, who (like so many black Americans has a slaveowner and Native Americans in her family tree). Do you say she’s also not black, Info? If so, then I’m on board and I apologize for troubling you. If not, then you can’t have a double standard where the simplified term black is only ok if you are African-American or West Indian but Latin Americans get to be multiracial–which too often implies that they are NOT black AT ALL. Of course, to gain distance from the term black has numerous advantages in a global society that still considers lighter shades more beautiful and dark shades (African-derived especially) to be an indicator of criminality.

@ Info: You do understand that “black” is typically used to mean a person with African ancestors. Most Puerto Ricans have them. In fact, only 450 thousand Africans brought to the New World ended up in the US. The rest of the 12 million went to the West Indies and Central and South America.

With that said, I think he has a very nice smile. Dick is shaped a lil weird, but no one’s perfect.

He is Puerto Rican, which 7 times out of 10 is European in ancestry.

The odds of him being black are highly unlikely.

@ Info, I get what you mean. Some Hispanics who have African heritage don’t consider themselves “black”. It’s a shame that there’s a stigma associated with it (in that culture), but that’s a topic for another day.

^ Apparently doesn’t know any Puerto Ricans.

Nah. I doubt he’s that out of touch with reality. He appears to be a proud black man which is the best thing about him.

Well, for many, it is not “clear that he’s black.”

There’s a very strong possibility he doesn’t consider himself a black man either, but I don’t know him so I’m not going to assume.

Info, if you re-read what I wrote I didn’t just choose one. I specifically stated: “Like Rosie Perez and Lauren Vélez, Carlo is a Puerto Rican of African decent.” It’s not an either/or situation. He’s a black Puerto Rican — not the first and certainly not the last. His ethnicity doesn’t cancel out his race, vice versa. Besides, like Brad323, his race isn’t the only thing I “care about” or “see”. I think he has sexy lips, beautiful smile, well-defined body, .etc. But mentioning that he’s a black Puerto Rican isn’t a crime. That’s what he is and because of that it gives him a unique look in comparison to 95 % of other Sean Cody models you see on the site.

I don’t know why you feel offended that someone mentions that he’s black. We’re not living in some color-blind society. Recognizing someone’s race and mentioning it isn’t a crime nor should we act as if it’s irrelevant, especially if it relates to a model on a predominately-white website.

I don’t understand why you are having that conversation, where are you driving at?.
This guy is one of the hottest I have seen from that site in the latter days.
As for me, I find it really interesting and sexy. I’m feeling like I just falled for him.

I disagree. His race is not all that I see. It is clear that he’s black, and I find his skin one of the nicest things about him. But he also has a killer body and a nice smile. And I’m sure he’s a great guy. I just don’t find him sexy.

I don’t say it because I’m mixing anything up. Most Puerto Ricans are a mix of different races so just choosing one tells me it’s all you care about or see.

He’s definitely black. Americans (I am one) tend to mix up ethnicity and race all the time. Puerto Rican is an ethnicity; Black is race. Like Rosie Perez and Lauren Vélez, Carlo is a Puerto Rican of African decent. There’s no denying that, the facial features and hair says it all.

But the question is will he return? Landon is the only black performer that was a recurring model.

Anyways I still think he’s rather bland for SC
