He's Caucasian. The statue looks Caucasian. That's all I got. Otherwise it's generic white guy and specifically that one looks like generic 1940s white guy. That being said, this is a problem with sculpture lately. There just aren't very many sculpture that can do realistic looking likenesses. We got lucky as hell with whoever did the Neyland and Summitt statues. Look no further than this, the Chuck Berry statue or countless other public statues in recent years that have all looked nowhere close to what the person looks like. Sculpture is something that is expensive as hell to get into and practice and the lack of artists really shows.
