On youtube theres a video where people ask if palestinians and other levents arabs are white, including the half ones and the majority of people said no, especially the white people. I think this answers your question on whether she’s white or not. These people aren’t invited in the white club and society doesn’t considers arabs to be white. Keep in mind half of Hadids family is muslim and she grew up with muslim culture, statistically over 50% of americans wouldn’t be happy with a muslim president.

An all american white girl wouldn’t have this issue. There’s nothing white american about hadid except her appearance which could easily be faked. Her twitter account is filled with anti-white, anti-american hate. Of course all the arabs on here wanna convince me that they’re white.
I’m not saying that it’s a fact her twitter has antiwhite/antiamerican views. Some of the stuff I read came off as offensive so to me it was anti-white, anti-american. This isn’t factual, it’s subjective.
I personally found it offensive so I saw it as anti-white, anti-american, some people don’t see it that way and some do. It’s the same way people think something is racist but others don’t think it’s racist. It’s an opinion.
Gigi Hadid’ s father was born in a Muslim family, but he didn’t oractice the religion.So, i doubt that she was raised muslim, She would not be a model.Arab and Muslim.is different.She grew in Arabic culture not muslim.
Lol I just reported you and you are attacking several people Tyler not just me.
Hmm but I’m not and unless you can prove that the site mods won’t buy it. Too bad.
I’ve read several of your racist comments and attacking me and others who disagree with your uneducated opinions. You called me a fucking idiot on this page. And I retaliated. Do you need me to cooy and paste your comments?
Nothing I have stated was racist, in fact it was you with the racist views. Disagreeing with an opinion is not attacking, what’s attacking is when you track down someones comments and constantly harass them, which is what you are doing. You’re the one that attacked me and everyone else, you even replied to me and said “I can reply to anyone and cause a dispute” you’re still trying even when I commented on Natalie Portman.
Again you’re making up crap that you can’t prove. Here’s an idea… you stop replying to my posts and leave me alone. You clearly have too much time on your hands and need to get a life.
cwm85, how exactly did you report another user? I’m trying to figure this out but I don’t know how. Do you click on admin?
Talk to a mod. There is a lot of racist and attacking on here but they let people reign free to attack spew all type of racist and hateful language on here I noticed. I’ve been on here since late june and the comments have been completely vicious a lot of times. Free speech I guess lol
As a white guy I don’t consider her white because she’s half Palestinian, those people are not white and it’s crazy that people actually she’s white and it’s quite insulting to real white people. White is socially used to describe people of full european descent with european features.
Guess what? White people don’t benefit from affirmative action but someone of Palestinian descent like gigi does, why? Because they are NOT white. You can’t benefit from affirmative action then claim to be white, that’s a double standard and it doesn’t work that way. It’s a slap on the face to white people if you’re going to benefit from that and then try to come into our group and claim white.
Only an idiot would actually think she’s white.
what a load of nonsense. I’m afraid your dna and your skull features override man-made ridiculous junksuch as ‘affirmative action.’ She’s not black, she’s not Chinese…well, what does that leave?
I just discovered this girl was half Arab muslim, etc. In America half European and Indian meztizo Mexican, Middle Eastern, Indian, Asian ,etc is considered still socially white. l’ve known half Mexican and white people who consider themselves white. People talk about the one drop rule for blacks. But American whites have a larger one drop social rule too. Meaning anything mixed with white, except 50 /40 percent black is still white. Its true. Some people in America even consider many Puerto Ricans and North Africans as white too.
Lol again all the middle eastern people on this site trying to convince me that they’re white, you’re not. Most palestinians don’t consider themselves white. If they are white europeans then why are they terrorizing europeans all the time? why are they labelled as people of color and benefit from affirmative action? Why are muslims hired on the spot for diversity? Exactly cause they’re not your typical white american of european descent.
“In America half European and Indian meztizo Mexican, Middle Eastern, Indian, Asian ,etc is considered still socially white…..But American whites have a larger one drop social rule too. Meaning anything mixed with white, except 50 /40 percent black is still white.”
So by your logic michael steger is only white just cause he’s half norwegian despite the fact his other half is ecuadorian and looks nothing like a white guy. Flawed logic. I never heard of that “rule”. Last time I checked anyone with two races are considered mixed raced or biracial, not only white or only asian. Many people from Latin america are originally from europe so they are white but Hadid is from Palestine which is in the middle east so they don’t have ancestors from europe or the same features as europeans, therefore not white. She’s just as much arab as she is european which overall makes her a poc.
Again you can’t claim to be white while having the benefit from being a poc. The amount of anti-white sentiment on this site is crazy.
Palestinians are white…
Her body is good but her face is fugly. This explains her face, I thought she was white but she’s actually half arabic and her dad is muslim….Instant turn off.
10 years ago, her look and ethnicity would have never been so popular. It shows that America is changing to accept more ethnic looking white people. I think the Kardashians illustrate that too. Americans are getting away from the true European look. They are picking Brazilian and other mixed whites.
^You’re extremely racist to white people, half the crap you said doesn’t make any sense, “ethnic looking white people”? There’s no such thing.
What Brazilians? Brazilian models? Most Brazilian models are white
Wow it got heated in here, so many rude insults. The amount of stupidity on this site is daunting. Some people think one way and some think another.
I think you guys really need to leave that user sparkles alone. She’s entitled to her opinion, just like everyone else. The amount of insults thrown as her, “idiot”, “moron” is insane. I’m looking at you cwm85, neiltennant and andrew. You know this site would have more people if you guys didn’t hate on someone for holding a different opinion? This place is a joke because of the amount of crazy people that spread hate. While we’re at it I don’t consider her white either, bite me. If you guys bother to reply and insult me like you did to the other users then I’ll report you for online harassment.
