Rita Ora
Birth Name: Rita Sahatçiu
Place of Birth: Pristina, SFR Yugoslavia (now Kosovo)
Date of Birth: 26 November, 1990
Ethnicity: Albanian
Rita Ora is a British singer, songwriter, and actress. She is known for her songs “R.I.P.,” “How We Do (Party),” “Your Song,” “Anywhere,” “Let You Love Me,” and, in a featured role, “Hot Right Now.”
She was born in Pristina, Yugoslavia, to a Kosovan Albanian family. She is the daughter of Vera (Bajraktari), a psychiatrist, and Besnik Sahatçiu, a pub owner. Her father is a Muslim and her mother is Catholic. Her family moved to the U.K in 1991, because of the persecution of Albanians in Kosovo, and she was raised in Notting Hill, London. Her surname, Sahatçiu, is derived from the Turkish word saatçi, which means “watchmaker.” Her family later added “Ora” to her full name; the word means “time” in Albanian. In 2015, she was named Honorary Ambassador of Kosovo.
When asked about her ethnicity in an interview, Rita stated that she is “100% from Kosovo,” here. A picture of Rita’s father can be seen here. A picture of Rita’s mother can be seen here. Rita is married to New Zealand actor and filmmaker Taika Waititi.
Rita’s paternal grandfather was Besim Sahatçiu, a film and theatre director (the son of Adem Sahatçiu and Besa). Besim was born in Pejë, Kingdom of Yugoslavia, now Kosovo.
Rita’s maternal grandfather was named Osman Bajraktari. Osman was the Albanian consul to Russia, then part of the USSR.
She does look Black or Mulatto, even more so without the yellow hair and make-up. I’ve looked up some of her pictures from when she was young and had darker hair and she still looks like she could be of African admixture. I’m sorry. She is what she says she is, but she looks more Black than White. http://img.thesun.co.uk/aidemitlum/archive/01519/SNF01BIZF_1519581a.jpg
I think it’s possible she could have like very distant North African roots, since Albania is near Greece and Greece is near North Africa.
Stupid American ghetto logic 101
You said it!
North africans aren’t black they are the same colour as her le even paler
The are Caucasian like Europeans.
@nina
North Africans run between black and white in (color of skin, hair texture, facial traits etc.). Some look like her , and some don’t.
Lol, almost all North Africans are part Sub-Saharan African. 10-25% SSA on average, and this isn’t counting the people who are almost fully SSA, as some of them live in North Africa too. The blackest countries are probably Sudan, Morocco, and Egypt.
Even Spanish people, through North Africans, have SSA ancestry from them (I’ve seen up to 3% SSA, and that’s just on a mixed girl who was half-Spanish, half-English).
She doesn’t look Albanian at all!!! I live in Albania and no one looks like her here!!! Probably she has some gypsy in her.
She isn’t from Albania she is from Kosovo. She is Gheg not Tosk.
Albanians are the most racist group of people that I know.
they don’t even like neighboring people like Greeks.. they hate Turks. forget about arabs. I can’t imagined they’re being close to blacks.
but they do have some gypsy blood in them..
She uses James Read fake tan
She doesn’t look white.
Yes she does look white. Whites come in all colors from pale to olive to tanner.as well as nose, eyes and hair types. There are so many exotic looks throughout Europe too, from Germany to Ukraine to Spain to Albanian ECT. Diversity… Being white means having ancestry from Europe and Rita has Albanian ancestry
she looks Albanian too.
Oh please, she doesn’t look Albanian, she looks like a quadroon. Looks Puerto Rican or Egyptian.
She’s probably part Gypsy, you can’t show me another Albanian girl like Rita.
I saw a picture of her without the tan, makeup and yellow hair and she looks more European..
remember too that not everyone in one country looks the same.
Dude I’m informed on phenotypes — she doesn’t look European, at all.
I know tons about anthropology, can classify people into a taxonomy on the spot.
She has some Negroid element in her, unequivocally.
There’s nothing in the Albanian/European genome to explain that SSA admixed look.
She looks like she has made cosmetic changes to her appearance her family looks Albanian. Shut the fuck up.
OH PLEASE! You guys are not that diverse on looks and skin tones, she just doesn’t look white AT ALL. I swear I was shocked when I heard. I personally think her parents are lying to her about her ethnic background.
Person above ,yes we are diverse
whites are the most diverse of all races
whites can go from looking like angelina jolie to peneople cruz to Scarlett johanson to Catherine zeta jones.
pale to olive skin tones as well
well as for Rita, if shes mixed its probally with gypsy not black.
Actually all so-called races are diverse. That kind of proves race doesn’t exist.
Shut up
Because she isn’t. Her “father” obviously isn’t her biological father. Her mother most likely had an affair and her real father is black.
yeah
because everyone ought to fuck you.handsome group of people. cuz you’re cuddly and fuckable.. lol
pornography ruined you gutter mind
You have no proof stop spreading rumors.
