I do not ordinarily reply to posts but I’ll in this situation.
my God, i thought you were going to chip in with some decisive insght at the finish there, not depart it
with ‘we leave it to you to decide’.
Remembering tha in Bahia (a north state) there’s too much black ppl, I think the biggest part of Bahia’s ppl is black or creole, so she is too
Hi guys, wassup? I’m brazilian from São Paulo and u guys are completly not right about her african ancenstry, because she has this background, she is a mixture of french, indigean and afro-brazilian, and don’t matter if she’s white, theres a lot of ppl here with black and indigean descendent who is white or ‘sarará’ how we name ppl with black caracteristcs but light skin and/or blond hair, and belive me .. theres too much ppl like this in Brazil
I realize myself as black, even my black skin is lighter then the biggest part of ppl and I don’t have so much black cracteristcs in my face, sometimes I look like a white gurl, but I’m also a portuguese and spanish descendent, cause my mom is white and my father is black
So.. you aren’t black, you’re bi-racial…..
@Liza.
You’re an idiot. Adriana Lima is culturally Brazilian. Brazilian culture is a mix of African, Portugese, and Indigenous, all ethnicities that are in her blood.
