i dont think so
Thats true. a lot of Chinese workers were sent to the Caribbean to work and many never returned to their homeland giving Jamaica a diverse mix.
Are you guys idiots!??
She’s obviously part Chinese! look at her!
My boyfirend is a Chinese-Jamaican (his mom is of Afro-Jamaican and Chinese ancestry and his dad is of Afro-Jamaican ancestry)!
He has dark skin and his Chinese features are still evident in his eyes.
Many Jamaicans can possibly have Chinese blood b/c thousands of Chinese workers were sent from Northern China to Jamaica for slavery (majority males) and they intermingled with the African female slaves. Today some Afro-Jamaicans may not show most of their Chinese features b/c many of the intermixing occured nearly 200 years ago!!!! duh
she is very ugly either way.
Naomi Campbell is a black person. I agree with blueline.I t is unfortunate that when a black person become well known, to be accepted, they always want to deny that they are fully black. If you look at Ms Campbell without all the shading of her makeup, she has very big lips and a flat nose, which she shades with makeup to look smaller and without the weave, her hair is picky, nappy and short. Also she puts eyeliner around her eyes in a certain way to make her eyes look more oriental. As for being part Chinese I don’t think so. For a start, Noami’s mother did not know the father long enough to find out the hertitage of that side of the family. You can have a Chinese person in the family where the generations is many more timeS removed along the blood line, where the Chinese look will not show as the generations go by and I have looked at Ms Campbells face and I can not see any Chinese look in her. The woman is black, but she is deluded with her heritence and her looks. When since have you seen her without her weave and makeup, plus she is always going out with white men. Strip away her makeup and weave and Noami Campbell is really an ugly black woman.
Don’t Make Naomi Hear You Say That, Or She’ll Slap You…Lol
