Europe is full of Africans and Gypsies originally from India.
According to her face – and the picture you look at -, she is as French as one can get (see the link below). Her skin is a bit dark on some pictures, but that needn’t to say “there is some black in her”. There’s a wide range within Europeans.
It may be possible, but not very likely, since in Europe (West, South, North) people usually didn’t mix with non-Europeans before perhaps 40 years ago, unless the non-Europeans were the new ruling class (Spain, Balkan, Eastern Europe). And those weren’t sub-Saharan Africans.

Indian from India are Asian. if you’re talking about EAST Asian- mongloid- she doesn’t look that..
she does look Indian.
A little.
She looks too exotic to be just white.
you should fix your idea of “white” with some Euro trips baby
@andrew Ive been all over Europe. Europe is not an exclusively white place sorry. Many people in Europe consider middle easterners and North Africans as whites but in reality they are mixed. This woman looks North African mixed.
if you’re from a “very mixed South American country”, how do you know if she looks North African mixed? You’re clueless.

There are middle easterners and descent people in my country. This woman looks about 25% black subsaharan negroid.
you said Aaron Taylor Johnson is 15% -20% African, Audrey Tautou 25%..next one? I wanna know.
Hahahahahaha yes who’s next?
Audrey does not look 25% black. She looks and is white. She has an olive skin tone but so do a lot of white people. According to Audrey, people mistake her for Spanish, Italian, or Jewish.

@ashash many whites with olive skin are either part African or part Asian.
“Many people in Europe consider middle easterners and North Africans as whites but in reality they are mixed.”
Statistically they are mixed. “Arab populations carried 10% lineages of sub-Saharan origin, whereas non-Arab Near Eastern populations, by contrast, carried few or no such lineages.” (Richards et al.: Extensive Female-Mediated Gene Flow from Sub-Saharan Africa into Near Eastern Arab Populations; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1180338/)
The strongest link of French people with African peoples historically will be with the people of Maghreb, especially Algeria; but genetically, those are nearer to the Western Europeans than to the Arabs (Sánchez-Quinto F et al. 2012; Brenna M. Henn et al.: Genomic Ancestry of North Africans Supports Back-to-Africa Migrations (from Europe; Freerk)).
From this side, there will be nearly no sub-Saharan influence; on the other hand, there has been a limited influx of sub-Saharan women (Wikipedia: Sub-Saharan and other haplogroups (0-8%); http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0056775/wiki/Maghrebis#Anthropology.2C_genetics_and_linguistics). It is very questionable whether this relatively small influx resulted in Audrey Tautou …
But all this is based on reconstruction and interpretation of results of genetical studies. Genetics have shown that 85 percent of genetical variation exists within a given population (for example the French), while the variation between populations is about 6-10 percent, no matter whether the compared populations are of the same „race“ defined by skin colour or of different „races“. In fact, we set statistical definitions, speculate about genetical specifications of „races“ und about collective gene pools and how they are realized in individuals. ;-)
The only thing I agree with you is that “pureness” is a somehow sick concept.
exotic means something you never seen before
exotic doesn’t mean non-white
whites can be very exotic
and if she is not white, then no one in Europe is white.
because alot of people there loo like that
Many North African people are mixed with subsaharan black African
wrong
there is a big geographical difference between them.
it like saying that Pakistani are mixed with Japanese because they shear and belongs to same continent.
@tgomas1987 No , ive been to Europe alot of Europeans do not look like this woman. If anyone looks like her and thinks they are fully white them they have identity issues.
Looks like Jennifer Beals (African American and Irish) from
Flashdance.
http://curiosando708090.altervista.org/jennifer-beals/
even though Beals nearly pass for a white woman, she looks anything like Audrey Tautou, who’s French and looks it. You’re embarassing
doesn’t look black
I didn’t mean she looks black. She looks like she could have some Indian and Asian in her.
Have you traveled to France, its filled with super black subsaharan Africans, some of the blackest people you have ever seen.You cant tell me the French population never absorbed any of that.
yeah, there are some of the “blackest” people in France and Europe in general. You can really see the difference between unmixed West Africans and “New World” mutts like you
Audrey could have 1% African ancestry going back many generations like some whites. Anything is possible, but that wouldn’t have an influence on her phenotype.
I think she’s just French like she says. According to her, people mistake her for Spanish, Italian, or Jewish. I don’t know if anyone has ever mistaken her for being 1/4 black, but they could have.
She has a common Southern and Central France look.
