is he the only black player in t1 (is he even black)?
he is black, some people would call him ''pardo'' wich means he is a ligth skin black
damn. now that i think abt it there aint even a lot of notable black pros to begin with
Dgzn (idk)
Russ (i guess apparently he isnt my fault yo)
YaBoiDre
i got nothin else
there is no shot a guy named russel mendes is indian
the more you know i guess
lot of portugese, dutch, french and english colonies + descendants especially on the south indian coastlines
Russ doesn't look even remotely black, he's south asian for sure. Black skin doesn't equal being of sub-saharan African descent, just like pale/pink skin doesn't equal being of north European descent(japanese people are pale and sometimes have pink nipples but they are not european)
I dont think he's black the same way as NA looks at it. there's variants in latin america and south america that doesnt necessarily mean "black" as non-NA considers "african-american" as black. anything else and they arent.
I mean , even in CS u have only a some black players .
Refresh and Spawn(cs 1.6) are the only ones i know tho
