Best Answer

Penn Fraser Jillette of the magician's duo Penn and Teller is 25% black. He can trace his lineage back to Nova Scotia, Canada and Newfoundland, Canada. One of his parents is biracial, half black Canadian and half white Canadian. I'm not exactly sure, but other sources quotes that his father is of mixed race with one parent being black. He often jokes about his heritage and attributes his curly black hair and his amply size nose to his African lineage. Although Penn doesn't believe in classifying people according to skin color, he adamantly refers to everyone as being of the human race.
