Is he a white bangladeshi? Or are we just trying to pull a connection?

He is half Bangladeshi, half African.

Clarke was born in Detroit, Michigan to a Bangladeshi American father^[4], Mozaffar Ali Hashem, and an African American mother, Thelma Clarke.

To ask the obvious question that no one would ask: is he a practicing muslim? This would be important because that would not be forgotten by the people who he will be working with/against.
