Charli has said:
I grew up around people throwing the word Paki around… And they’d be like, ‘Oh, we’re going to the Paki shop,’ like a corner shop or whatever. I personally think that’s really racist. A lot of people I knew would throw that term around, and it would always upset me, not because I’m Pakistani, but just because I thought it was really wrong. And my mom actually once had an incident where she was getting out of her car in broad daylight, in the middle of our town, and these guys went past her on a bicycle and threw a milkshake at her and called her a Paki. She was so upset, as she would be. But that’s nothing to some things that happen.
She looks morrocan. Pretty
No, they were literally Indians living in Uganda. There were many Indians brought to the continent for labor. They generally didn’t mix.
It simply means Ugandans (nationality) of Indian (ethnicity) orgin, not necessarily racially mixed people.
Multiracial white women are by far the most beautiful in the world.White/Indian is also one of my favorite mixes.She’s really beautiful.
She’s white and multiracial.
Like I said,they will always be ‘white’people.Whether or not you choose to call or see them as white is your own problem but just so you know your mono racial white numbers are dropping day by day.So good luck thinking you can do without multiracials.
sorry to break it to you but shes not white. Her father is extremely pale with blonde hair, she has most of her moms features except skin color. She is a mixed race woman, will never be white. White is not the dominant race.
She looks white, society sees her as white, and she gets treated like white. She’s a white woman. That’s it.
Yeah, *American society sees her as white, anywhere else she’d be considered mixed, she definitely isn’t just white.
What are you on?! She is mixed not “white” and “multiracial”. You must have not been around a lot of people Jackie
So, she’s mixed-race. I knew there was something interesting there and it’s a wonderful combination. As for her comments about her mother, she must have took them personally, because it was clear they were directed at South Asians as a whole.
Agreed.
