By the way rowan Atkinson is Jewish that’s why he looks different than Paul Bettany
Rowan Atkinson is not Jewish at all. He is of non-Jewish English ancestry going back many generations.
http://ethnicelebs.com/rowan-atkinson
one thing is for sure rowan Atkinson isn’t pure English he has other ethnicity hidden that isn’t English maybe gypsy or something
Well, you already said that about Ed Westwick.
Yes, but your comparing two English guy paul bettany and rowan, Ariana is southern European therefore not only she looks non-white but the majority of Italians look non-white that means there is a difference between north and south
@ the punisher
I’m sure u never put your ass out of your country so dont talk about things u have no clue. You’re obsessed with the word “white”. Nobody gives a damn in Europe about “white”/caucasian/hispanic/latino categories since nobody asks you, UK is the only country with a racial classification in the Census. How old are you?
They act like they don’t care about the word white in reality they do, white is what defines them and what they think is beautiful and superior they just don’t brag about it
there are some white supremacy groups in Europe, in Italy and Greece too, that u dont consider white. They really care about the “white” concept, all the rest of the people dont give a f**k
There is a huge difference between her and Ariana Grande and everybody calls Ariana Grande white, well this is real white
There is a large physical difference between Paul Bettany and Rowan Atkinson, yet they are of the exact same ethnicity (never mind different ethnicities within the same race).
Selena Gomez looks more white than ariana and she’s half Mexican so your theory blows
I’m not sure what you mean? I’m just saying white people have many different looks, even within one specific ethnic group.
So in that case star calling Latinos, Arabs, and half Asians, White because many of them look more white than ariana I’ve seen Cubans in Miami that look more white than Italians and they are label as Hispanic just because they are from cuba
Well, there might be a half Latino, a half Arab, or a half Asian, who looks more “white” than Ed Westwick. That doesn’t mean Ed isn’t white.

If you’re describing the women then yes….fair skinned Celtic/Germanic looking women seem to be favored by a lot of men.
But Germanic looking men certainly don’t win with sexy body, face and such. Many women, in fact, prefer darker men with dark hair – think Mediterranean and even French.
Once again the English/German/Scotch-Irish mix that produces the hottest American celebrities in existence. Wow-ee!!! We all know her from “The Hunger Games” 2012, but let’s not forget that she is still a young and tight 22 yo who is not completely full of herself. We look forward to more movies honey.
aren’t Vernon and Montgomery Scottish surnames?
