I am of mixed blood too. No one ever knows what I am. Where I am now, the latin culture has laid claim and I have not one drop of latin blood.

Elvis is definitely of African roots. There are many "whites" who are so obviously mixed, it's amusing that they claim to be white.

The biography I read said Marlon did have French blood and the family name was Brandeaux. Will we ever know? Could it be he is of both? He has features that could be German, but some are much more French in appearance.

Regardless, the man had a good mix of genes.
