Looks like a really tanned white/Mediterranean woman to me.
CORRECTION: If she was born in 1974, her father is from Madras, not “Chennai”, which didn’t exist until the 1990s.
She doesn’t look half black to me, that’s far-fetched. She looks like a stereotypical mexican. I see mexican girls like that all the time.
Its not far fetched to say she looks half black as everyone in the world came from Africa, and Southern india has African black peoples, who were the aboriginal population. Furthermore India at one time was connected to East Africa during PANGEA before the continents shifted. Moreover, Mexico had slavery and there were Africans living in Mexico and marrying Indians, many if not most Mexicans are triracial peoples. There are black or Afro Mexicans living in Mexico right now, all you have to do is a GOOGLE searh for “black Mexicans” and “black Indians” its that EASY.
>Southern india has African black peoples, who were the aboriginal population
Siddhis are not aboriginal. Portugese slave merchants brought them pretty recently.
>India at one time was connected to East Africa during PANGEA before the continents shifted
There were no humans back then though.
>Mexico had slavery and there were Africans living in Mexico and marrying Indians, many if not most Mexicans are triracial peoples
I agree. Not much of their genome on average is African, but it is certainly present.
She looks half black, didn’t even know the bitch was half Indian. Lmfao.
How is she a bitch if you don’t even know her? She’s a model, I sense jealously.
Women can be so hateful towards each other….
She doesn’t really come off as indian/middle eastern either, it’s due to her last name. Though indian would have been my guess eventually.
She looks fully Indian to me.
