So, the other day, I found myself wondering about Aaron Judge, you know, the big guy playing baseball for the Yankees. The question just popped into my head: what’s his background, his ethnicity?
My first move, like always when I get curious, was just grabbing my phone. I opened up a search engine. I think I typed something simple first, like “aaron judge ethnicity” or maybe “aaron judge background”. Pretty straightforward stuff.
The first bunch of results came up. Lots of pages mentioned he was adopted, which I kind of already knew, but it was right there at the top. It talked about his adoptive parents, Patty and Wayne Judge. Great people, from all accounts, raising him since he was just a baby.
Digging a Little Deeper
Okay, so adopted, got it. But that didn’t really answer my original question about his biological ethnicity. So, I refined my search a bit. I tried things like:
- “aaron judge biological parents ethnicity”
- “what is aaron judge’s race”
- “aaron judge heritage”
This time, I started seeing more specific terms pop up. Several articles and forum discussions mentioned he identifies as biracial. They pointed out that his adoptive parents are white, but he himself has mentioned being biracial.
I looked for interviews where he might have talked about it himself. Found some pieces where he discussed being adopted and how he never felt different, always just saw his parents as his parents. He hasn’t really elaborated much publicly on his specific biological mix beyond acknowledging he’s biracial. He seems pretty private about that side of things, focusing more on the family that raised him.
So, after poking around for a bit, reading a few articles and summaries, the picture became clearer. He was adopted by wonderful parents, and while he doesn’t often detail his biological roots, the information out there consistently points to him being biracial. That was the answer I was looking for. It wasn’t some big hidden secret, just took a few searches to piece together the commonly accepted understanding.
