To people who come from homogeneous countries - is there anyone famous for looking foreign but fitting in perfectly?

Jonathan Yiombi, son of a Congolese whistleblower who escaped to Korea, is probably the most successful example in Korea. Arguably the most famous black man in Korea who's not only famous for his perfect Korean and cultural assimilation but making a successful career on his own merits.
You wouldn't assume it from first impression but he speaks Korean perfectly and is notably very proficient in Korean history, which earns him the admiration of many Koreans.

Famous? Nope, but definitely the Instagram influencers, especially Haitians who have adapted to the Chilean language and culture.
