What is their deal? How white are they? They don't look 100% but they definitely have alot of white blood in them. I saw a segment on them and they are both fairly good at drawing. They sounded like stoners/surfer-types when they spoke but at the same time they sound fairly intelligent.

Their dad is white by Cuban standards, and most likely white by US standards. One of the brothers though tans very dark and looks partially black when he tans though. It's a kind of Bruce Pearl thing...

The Lopez brothers are probably 1/4 black, 1/4 indigenous North American and 1/2 white. I would love to put them white group, however, they both flunked the 'eye test'. How about placing them into the non-black group.

Lopez is the Spanish version of "Johnson", you never know what color the bearer will be.

I looked over their Standford team photos and I would downgrade them to Blanca Oscula which literally translates to dark white which would mean a Derek Jeter, Miriah Carey type racial profile. Their father is probably morena(brown) or mulatto. Anyway they were raised with conservative values as they could have easily been given names like Dequan or Deshawn or Kibary....
