Vin’s mother has English, German and Scottish ancestry, while Vin’s biological father’s identity and background are not publicly known. Vin has described himself as “definitely a person of color”, and has stated that he is also of part Italian ancestry, as well as “a lot of stuff”. He was raised by his Caucasian mother and African-American stepfather.
I am truly multi-racial. I never knew my biological father. I’ve always had less information than I would have liked to have had. All I know from my mother is that I have connections to many different cultures.
[on Multi-Facial (1995)] That film is my tribute to my background. The man who raised me is black. Culturally, he made me who I am. He was a theatre director, so he also guided me artistically.
[on Multi-Facial (1995)] I guess I’ve always looked past the exterior and the ambiguity that my existence represents. When I was in my mother’s stomach, it was still illegal in parts of America for people of color and white people to procreate. Everyone had known me just as a bouncer in New York because I wasn’t able to get any work. There was something too ambiguous about the way I look that would prevent me from ever getting a star.
