He is of sub-saharan african ancestry and he looks it phenotypically, why does this bother you so much? It wouldn't be a problem if I used Colin Ferrell or Stephen Colbert as examples of irish phenotypes

What bothers me is your focus on phenotype rather than nationality/ethincity. I doubt you would use Benecio Del Torro or Andy Garcia as prime an examples of European phenotypes. Colin Farrell was born in Ireland and has an Irish accent. Why wouldn't he be a great example of an Irish?
