Mediterranean descent/red-ish skin is not classically thought of as white.

That's the joke, right?

This photo doesn't really help and to be fair most of the pictures I found of him online are shot in such a way that he could look like a person of anglo-heritage with a heavy tan. Adding more stubble, a baseball cap, all black clothes, and sunglasses in 9/10 pictures can do that.

Here is a picture of him in normal lighting. Also his name, Tarrio, comes mostly from the Spanish Peninsula and he claims to be afro-cuban.

Ah, a "one of the good ones"

Right up to the point where he's deported.

We call them Uncle Toms/Uncle Ruckus (or aunty in case of women)

He is by his own admission Afro-Cuban who identifies as white for some reason.

his own member see him as a token, sooner or later they will completely excommunicate him.

And Adolf Hitler wasn't tall, blue eyed or blonde.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

Hitler had blue eyes, for what it's worth. He was definitely not tall (173 cm, about average for his place and time) and had brown hair. So he only missed on 2 out of 3 of those criteria.

I identify as a god emperor, bow down to me

I identify as slayer of god emperors... this is awkward.
