Lately I’ve believed that Angelina Jolie is not mixed, because Aishwarya Rai is also exotic, and she has lighter skin than other Indians and she has gray eyes, people think she is mixed with Europeans, but she don’t, parents her only typical Indians. Aishwarya Rai is only Indid and Angelina Jolie perhaps only Caucasoid.
Europeans have the habit of taking advantage of everything, Angelina Jolie is American, not European. And she is far from representing European women.
God i`m hearing some serious resentment here.Europeans have a habit of taking advantage of everything,This site is to find out peoples heritage Angelina is American yes of European heritage she is obviously not one of the Native Americans so she is of European descent.She is far from representing European women how would you know?.Just because she dosen`t have light features you are mad she not mixed.There is good looking white women that are not mixed there is ugly white women there beautiful black women that are not mixed and ugly ones. there is ugly Asian women there is good looking ones ,White Black and Asian etc do not have to be mixed to be attractive or exotic..Angelina has big lips so bloody what?Anyways to be clear you do not like Europeans if you don`t then stop coming on a site that tells peoples heritage as there is going to be people of European,African Asian and more heritage there is no need to keep going on with the same comments all the time.
So now having a full mouth means you have to be part black? lmao XD Okay be sure to tell that to Scarlett Johansson and Monica Bellucci!
neither of them has lips as big as Angelina
Her boy-friend Brad Pitt has thick lips, too. Surely, he has
no afro-american blood, because he’s blond
This Brazilian Girl is 1/4 or 1/8 black and she has a phenotype similar to Angelina Jolie:

Slavic people have full lips because their ancestors are African.
