But to his dismay, the 41-year-old Empire actor recently realized that his fans were not quite as taken with their union, with them posting negative comments on his photos regarding his wife's race and boy did he got upset when he spotted nasty remarks about his wife’s ethnicity.

Derek immediately addressed the issue, taking to his account on July 12 to ask: 'But we're in the year of 2015 & when should it be a "problem" to date outside of your race?'

My wife may not be Black but she is mine. And she’s mine with a heart of gold. People are so quick to judge but can’t even distinguish the difference of another’s race.

Sophia Luke is Hispanic

 She’s not white, she’s not black, she’s not Chinese, she’s Hispanic.
