Who fucking cares? Shut up
She does kinda of look chinese, not alot, but hey, look at Tiger Woods. No one’s fully black, white, mexican, asian, arabic, native american, or whatever you are anyways. The world’s like a freakin’ bag of skittles.
well to be honest everyone is ugly to someone, and everyone is beautiful etc. to someone.
@alive: if you’ve seen my numerous posts in this site, you could know that i’m the very last one to stick an ethnicity to someone just by looking. I don’t say that naomi can’t be part asian because she’s dark skinned, i just explain how media can manipulate ppl, insisting in her hypothetic non black side, but the real message through this statement is like: you can’t be considered one of the most beautiful woman in the world(or be successful) if you are totally black. You have to be at least part non black if you want to succed in life or just be respected. With that, why wouldn’t black ppl claim their 10% of this or 5% of that, just in order to escape the blackness. It’s so sad, im very glad to hear black celebs who say they’re black, because blackness never equal uglyness.
Sorry I don’t recall Naomi saying that she wasn’t black! She is part Chinese – why is that such a problem? She has also stated her ancestry in newspapers. But did she say she was mixed race? No. I don’t get the problem. Why is it okay for a light skinned person to say that they are a quarter this or that, but oh no if a dark skinned person says they are – they want to deny their blackness? Naomi got where she is being black! I didn’t see them trying to make her any lighter in pics like a lot of celebs do.
and btw, he surname ming is not necessarily asian. I know some africans with the surname ming !!!!
