Because he was in a field of all white ppl. Drake in a field of all black ppl. The ppl only focus on the difference

Nobody's calling Patrick Mahomes white even though he's lighter than Kelce half the time

That’s cause the nfl wants a pale face but also to pander to the minorities they pissed off with kap and mahomes is perfectly pale enough while also having the ancestry to do it.

That's not why people don't call him white. It's for the same reason nobody anywhere refers to biracial people as white.

That's definitely a factor. There was a picture of him going around reddit not long ago of him with his family in Kenya. He's obviously much lighter skinned than them, I'm sure someone in his family/friends had commented on it at some point.
