He was nominated in 2004 for the Black Reel best actor award. New Yorker Magazine says that Miller played the race card; using his black parentage to secure a part in a movie. Miller says that he regularly and painfully has to chose to keep his mixed race a secret, rather than to confront his white friends who offend him. <br />He's 25% "Afro". His "father is black (of half Afro-Jamaican and half African-American ancestry). Wentworth’s mother is caucasian."<br />I wonder, if he could magically chose a permanent reflected color, which color would give him that missing sense of security and support?<br />If he chose to be , a white man, a black man, or a chameleon, could he ever feel the missed luxury of a sense of security and support? If he moved between racial groups, identifying as either one or the other or as mixed, he would have to have split personalities too. <br />Diverse, multicultural, multiracial societies and communities must be like a minefield for Wentworth Miller. Does this prototypical modern modern liberal male homosexual have to walk behind steel-shoed front men wherever he goes? How is he going to navigate safely through such an unimaginably insecure and unsupported diverse and multicultural world? <br />I guess he can always use his race and sexual orientation cards.
