Devin Armani Booker is an American professional basketball player for the Phoenix Suns of the National Basketball Association. After playing college basketball for one season with the Kentucky Wildcats, Booker was selected by the Suns in the first round of the 2015 NBA draft as the 13th overall pick.
Is Devin Booker White?
Booker was born and raised in Grand Rapids, living with his mother, who is reported of Mexican and Puerto Rican descent while his African-American father pursued a professional basketball career internationally.
While it’s hard to tell at first glance, Booker is a makeup of three different ethnicities. Many people assume he’s half white and half black, but the real answer isn’t so straightforward. He’s a mix of black, Mexican, and Puerto Rican descent.
Being three different ethnicities makes Booker a minority in the NBA. While most of the league is black (74.2 percent) or white (16.9 percent), only 2.2 percent is any form of Latino. Booker falls into that category.
