good job at trying to act as someone else jasmine .
just bcus you change your screen name doesn’t mean it changes your avatar xD
Wow he’s a cutie pie he looks hispanic. He is way more attractive than blake griffin. I wish that they’d give more detail regarding his ethnicity instead of “AA CA” I wonder what’s in the white half hmm..
where or how does he look hispanic? he looks like an average all american white boy to me
He looks very tanned in that picture,and has curly hair. Looks exotic looking. Who are you to tell me who I can’t think looks hispanic or white or asian or whatever? Last time I checked I was in charged of my own eyes and brain. In some pictures he looks more white than in others BUT the moment I saw him on the cover of people I immediately thought to myself “That boy isn’t fully white hes mixed with something or italian.”
Oh get a grip on yourself Jasmine. She asked how or where does he looks Hispanic, not “You’re stupid for thinking he’s Hispanic.” But you’re saying just because he has tanned skin that makes his Hispanic? Wow. I guess all these white girls who go tanning go in white and come out a different ethnicity then.
You’re a Jackass Kelsey you put words in my mouth you can tell f*ck you you vicious c*nt I have no idea why I’m getting so beat up over this. Smart a$$ White people don’t have a natural tan to them usually(unless their italian) You can tell the difference between a white person with a fake tan and a hispanic person with a real one so just go to hell.
Oh Kelsey and another thing you took 1 thing I said out of context you’re a manipulative jerk for that. Everyone knows white people are pale as hell and that their tan is so fake (unless their italian) AND it’s obvious. Tanning out in the sun,or paying for a tan doesn’t produce the same effect that a natural tan does. You are really retarded for believing it does. You manipulative punk you totally took my words out of context and twisted them I hate people like you. You f*cking suck b*tch. I hate condescending arrogant ppl like you. I hope you die of cancer. OMG you got 8 likes when all you did was twist my words. Now I know how a celebrity feels when their words get twisted. I got you people up here saying that I implied that italians weren’t white,and that white people look hispanic. When I never said any of that!!!!!!! Or meant any of that. Stupid vicious creep. I really really hate you. I hate you so much why? Because you twist peoples words and convolute them! That drives people crazy because they know exactly what they meant and then you come in out of no where trying to twist it just to make yourself look smart when you really are a worthless nothing. Fake tans=don’t equal the same as real tans! Get it in your thick little head. By the way jacka** there are a lot of hispanic people that look white look at James Roday hispanic but looks white.
To Jasmine
You really need to cool yourself,because your showing your age.There’s alot of thing your obviously don’t know.Now freaking out and threatening people,as if you could actually do something to them,then you might learn something.Also James Roday might look white,because he might be majority white.Mexican does mean what you think,it’s a country full of different racial groups(there are a lot of different mixtures to them).
Stop freaking out
He isn’t majority white at all hes just very pale you people are close minded.
Why would you use a racial slur right now? Omg that’s so mean they just took what you said off because I reported it but you called hispanics the “s” word (it rhymes with pick) why would you call hispanics s*icks? you are such a hypocrite you say my age is showing but then call all hispanics s*icks. that’s terrible. I’m glad ethnicelebs removed that statement.
You’re an idiot “you are starting to show your age” and you are starting to show how condescending you are. Pretentious doesn’t look cute on anyone.
I’m not freaking out dickhead do you like when your words are twisted? I can twist your words right now you just said all pale hispanics are white omg hispanics are white did you people know that?
Omg why do you think all mexicans are white? that’s so mean most of them are hispanic. Ahh you think all mexicans are white. Now what I’m doing right now is immature but I don’t care I’ll be just as annoying as each of you.
Wow Jasmine really, I’m a jerk but you’re telling me I hope you die of cancer. YOU are a cold hearted b-tch, not me. Do you know how many people suffer from cancer and you’re wishing it on someone, especially with your attitude and the vibe I got off from what I read, I can tell you’re ignorant. Also you DO show you’re age if you think using bad language as a way to “prove your point” when you really didn’t, all you did was just insult me and not prove me wrong. I’m laughing at you more then anything because all you did was just bad mouth me and the other person. You’ll never get anywhere in life with that kind of attitude. If you do reply to this, don’t count on me replying back because I don’t want to energize you’re ignorance.
@jasmine:Mexicans is not a race,a number of different groups live in Mexico.You can just be white and be a Mexican.You can be black or even Chimese,all these groups are there.
LOL JASMINE GOT TOLD BY KELSEY
Okay, miss screw that.. Us Italians are white! You don’t insult such crap like that and don’t have the right to call us different… Everybody deserves to be called something, but not the opposite. That is all I am really complaining about ’cause That seemed so wrong in your comment.
Speaking own opinion
People are what they are, and who cares what they are in generalization to everybody. Also, Hispanics are mixed with races from White to Asian. People really can’t tell Hispanics either and besides, those people don’t like just being called Hispanic right away. Hispanic is just an ethnicity, not a race and permanent group.. Many people have errorized that, and that is even in the census errorized a little. The census still has Hispanic somewhat correct, and say self-identification. Anybody can look a different race and be not that race. I have seen Asians, Blacks, and Caucasian look a different race, but are not that race.
A$$ hole Depending on who you ask Italians aren’t “white” I met a mixed Italian that doesn’t consider Italians white he said their “Mediterranean” not white and Italy was invaded by the moores just shut up “g” word I wasn’t trying to be offensive but f*ck you sensitive b*tches. I’m totally out of here Kill yourself dumba**es Italians look different from others whites and if you can’t see that you’re blind.(I changed what I wrote just in case it gets reported for having a racial slur in the other one.)
Your not very smart then are you, and that mixed italian you met isnt smart either. And btw, you said mixed italian, hes/shes mixed not full which makes him/her not full white. Gosh, seriously telling me i am not white. I have pale skin! I am italian, (full) !!! Italians are Mediterranean yes, so are albanians though. Your not going to say that albanians are not white by any chance are you? Italians are Mediterranean because they border the Mediterranean sea! goshhh!
I’m going to start by saying my family is Italian and I am NOT here to insult anyone in their paricular views but it does depend on who you ask… Many Italians I have come across admit to not being White. If you are talking census accounts, yes white would be used. However, if you look at the undertones of the skin, it is not pale, it’s considered olive skin just like Hispanics/Latinos. The term White was used as a mark of status to rise above the immigrant “minority” views Italians had when they first came here decades ago. There is nothing wrong with using the term White (even the Japanese did that too) but there is something wrong with denying that you are more than White or a “different kind of white” by being Italian. Ever see how easily Italians get dark? Not quite the same as the Anglo Whites that are here. ~just my humble opinion on the topic~
Italian is white! And he’s 1/4 black only.
I’m sorry,but how do you know he’s only 1/4.His bio says half and half
ha ha ha if thats white,how black do you think hispanics are?do you know any?
I know some,also go back to the nicole richie site.you say all p.ricans are white,with no black blood,how do you know there’s no black blood?There are some good examples of white people with high levels of black blood,but you can’t tell(jun 29,30)from fuzzy post.look at them,then tell me you know for sure p.ricans have no black blood
wtf i dont know if your responding to me but i have never said all prs are white,just most im sure you have looked it up yourself,so why would you deny what you know to be fact?
I have looked p.ricans up.And everytime i do,i see a mixed bunch,on the island also.Also don’t try to sell me,and say those are just domicians.Plus white on outside,doesn’t mean that’s it,bloodlines are what i’m talking about.
gigi your funny as hell,i guess obama looks pure irish to you,ha,ha,ha
His father is half black and half white and his mother is white so that makes him at least 75% white it may be even higher since all african americans have at least 10% white in them. (his grandfather from his father’s side)
No his dad is not half white, his dad is BLACK
His father is half white! It was stated in a magazine. And even if it wasn’t, comm’n! What black person have you met with extreme light skin and blue eyes at the same time unless they are mixed with white??
this jasmine person says if she looked at taylor lautner she’d think he’s white, wtf. kris looks more white then taylor but says kris is hispanic looking tafuuk this girl need to get her eyes checked out asap and while she’s at it, a new attitude would be nice.
@bill
That’s always go on,every since other colors came on the scene
Why do the Kardashian girls all like blacks so much?
@ A.J
Why do you like who you like?
stop stealin my name bitch!!!!!!
Many people have different preferences for dif. reasons. I read somewhere that Black guys always tended to like Kim more because of her figure,so she went with it. I knew this guy wasn’t white! Everyone was claiming she was engaged to a white guy now but I took one look at him and said that guy is mixed with something. He looks more white in some of his pics though. Maybe she believes actually is beliving that “myth” you know.
Because black is more fun period.
Because black men are fun
Kris is not black though. he is 75 % white which makes him more white, the correct thing to say was, ‘ why do the kardashian girls like whites so much?’
Anyone ever notice how any dude who dates a Kardashian then breaks up with them suddenly become “famous”, not that they weren’t before but like not a lot of people who who the f-ck they were. Seems like he’s just getting married to her for the publicity, kind of like how Lamar married Khloe.
Black guys got big dicks. This guy is only half black os his dick is only half big. lol. Asian girls also marry a lot of white men.
houw da fuk du u get so mani tfums up ??????
Uh no, Lamar Odom was popular before, he did not need to marry a Kardashian.
Uh no, Lamar was popular but not as popular as he is now. Like the majority of people didn’t even know who Kris was until he started dating Kim.
