I could hardly tell Kimora has black in her as oppose to other celebs like Amerie. Kimora’s dad must have been mixed with something else and was a light skinnd african american.

or imagine a world where all whites are fair as snow, blacks are darker than ebony, asians are yellow, and hispanics and brown. Everyone would know exactly what ethnicity you are. But its not so, nor was it ever so. We have come together and mixed and made even more different looking people and thats beautiful. be proud of your ethnicity. We are all apart of the same race. the human race.
