    to look half one's race

    Laying out by the pool and hopefully I will actually look half my race soon

    Ohne weiteren Kontext, vielleicht so was:

    Ich hänge draußen beim Pool ab und sehe hoffentlich bald ansatzweise wie meine "Landsleute" aus (sich bräunen, um der "Race (Rasse; besser Ethnie)" ähnlicher zu sehen)

    Oder im Gegenteil: Dass er dann nur noch halbwegs seiner Rasse (Hautfarbe) gleicht, weil er so dunkel geworden ist.

    Auch denkbar, da kann nur mehr Kontext des Fadenerstellers helfen.

    This is a play on the expression "to look half one's age". He's getting so suntanned that soon he'll only look half white. (I leave the German to you.)

    ... und sehe bald nicht mehr so wie ein Weißbrot aus... ;-)

    Danke für die Erklärung, Esco!

    I point out for the record that in your sentence, "Laying" should be "Lying" (but that's not your problem).

    while we are at it ... "to look half one's age" ... what does that even mean?

    To me the inclusion of "actually" in the source text suggests that he will (at last) look a bit more like his race, rather than less.
