Actually, most people DID think Lee was the father. Shawn says it outside her house, Kenny and Hershel say it on the farm, and Lilly asks where her mother is if you speak to her at the pharmacy. Plus Vernon thought so too in 4. Christa was pretty much the only person to correctly guess that Lee was not Clem's father.

Ironic that the only person who was able to tell Lee was not her father was also of color.
I wonder what that means...

None of you guys must be black, lol.

I knew Clem was black, even before looking at her parents' picture in a second playthrough. Her dad's black and her mom may be either very light skinned or just biracial.

The dead giveaway despite all that was her hair. It's clearly afro-textured. And it's absolutely beautiful, I must say. I wish more black girls would have their hair this way.

I thought Christa realized it because she is observant and uses her brain......

Does her mom seriously look Asian?

Also, she is not African-American, she is Black.

I believe so. Her dad was black and her mother seemed to be mixed between white and black.

But I'm black anyways. Contrary to popularly belief. We come in all types of shades and sizes. We don't all have the same exact facial structures. <rant> However I don't want to call Clementine just 'African' - American. That title annoys me. You are only 'African American' if you were born in Africa and gained citizenship in America. </rant>

Her mom may be mixed with Asian and black. Some of her features (hair and her lips) ring African American to me. Her skin does says she's mixed through.

So yeah, Clem's black. One drop rule, lol. And by the looks of it, she has a lot more than one drop.

I understand thinking Clem doesn't look that black but to say her mom looks filipino I just can't see it at all. Look at her hair.

not a lot of black people ITT lol

her mom was light skinned(probably mixed), and so was clem. I've seen plenty of black people with the same appearance( some of my relatives have the same skin tone as well).

as someone else said, the hair was a dead give away.
