Oh, I see. 
I thought you were saying he was 1/2 one race and 1/2 another. (Which is what I would define as a "mulatto.") As far as the man, Jesus, the only biological parent was Mary, so Joseph's bloodline was physically irrelevant.
But I agree--the bloodline of Christ (and David) contained at least a couple of Gentiles.
