Bibby is clearly a white boy.

I hope it is not his level of play that is confusing you? Will you be
asking about Jason Kidd, next? :)

His father is Henry Bibby who is African American, therfore he's Africa
American. I think his mother is Caucasian though.

Once again, Bibby's father Henry Bibby is African American, therefore
Mike Bibby is African American.

Except that his mother is Caucasian, so he is also Caucasian

Still subscribing to the "one-drop rule", eh?

The "one-drop rule" is as bizarre as they come - I suppose this term
was coined on some plantation for inheritance/property purposes....and
has now carried over people to exploit the system...

I guess the politically-correct term is Afro-caucasian. I have been
told the word "mulatto" is offensive to some, although it is short and
to the point.

I don't think Henry Bibby is entirely African American. And no, I
don't share your slavemaster outlook on race....

I am not entirely sure what his mother's ethnicity is...

It's the truth my man. I don't know where you get "slavemaster" from
that statement, but hey who really gives a rats ass. You know nothing
about me, have never met me, and I would venture to say that if you said
that to my face you'd probably be in more trouble than you bargained
for, so I'll just let it go and chalk it up to your ignorance on the
subject. Peace!!

What he was referring to:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/jefferson/mixed/onedrop.html

(one among numerous articles on the subject; just search Google for
"one drop rule")

The idea that any amount of African heritage makes someone entirely
"black" is an idea promulgated by the slave-masters, to maintain their
claims on slaves who were born of slave mothers and white fathers.
They even came up with various names for different mixes: "mulatto",
"quadroon", "octoroon", etc. It's also a concept which reinforces the
racist notion of white ancestry as the "pure" ancestry, which any
"pollution" renders non-white. It has been said (with much truth)
that America is the only nation where a white mother can bear a black
child, but a black mother cannot bear a white child.

Sorry, it's not. Try again.

Nor would I care to meet someone with a slavemaster's mentality.

I don't know about you and my man DJ, but when I look at Mike Bibby, I
see an African American male, of light pigmentation. I don't really care
what you care to call it, that's what I see. Same as Jason Kidd. And
amidst all this babble about slavemasters, I still haven't seen anyone
classify exactly what Bibby's ethnic background is!!!

His father is Henry Bibby, USC basketball coach. He looks like this:

http://usctrojans.fansonly.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/bibby_henry00.html

His mother was pictured elsewhere on this thread:

http://secondary.lfchosting.com/bibby/new/gpro1.gif

Without doing a complete analysis of the Bibby family tree, my guess
is that both his parents are both of at least partial African and
European descent. His mother looks, to untrained eye, as if she may
have some Native American ancestry as well, but that sort of thing's
always a bit hard to discern from one picture.

So, uh, why do you ask?

But that's not what you said. You said that his father is AA, therfore he
must be AA... as if his mother's ancestry had no bearing on it whatsoever.
And even you can't be so egocentric to think that "what you see" is the
final call on what someone's ethnicity.

And I too am waiting for someone to tell me what the hell Bibby's ethnic
background is. I never professed to know....

Hey, there ain't nothing wrong with being 5'7".
