Why doesn't Vin Diesel like to tell his race?

Is he afraid to let everyone know that he's half black?

Klingon you gave the best answer so far. I do believe that it's true. He is embarassed and doesn't think he can get work in the industry if he tells that he's black.

Oh shut up with the multi-racial crap! Who cares what you are. I'm talking about Vin Diesel's issue here not yours. This is not a pitty party.

I have an article where he talks about his race. My question is why isn't it listed for instance on, Wikipedia? He doesn't even mention any of his family members. The page seems incomplete. Somebody please update it!

No, it's just that he believes that a person should not be known for his race or skin color and also that the fact that he's multiracial should not have him placed into a particular category. In other words, he's trying to position himself away from other artists/celebrities that pertain to a certain race in order to get the support of that particular race.
