    But Sade has that beautiful exotic look that half black people have.

  2. izzybizzy says:

    A lot of Half Nigerian/Half English people look Asian. Like Emma Thynn. Asians get their oriental eyes from Africans anyway.

  3. SexyBlack 3434 says:

    That is very offensive to say. Northeast Africans are just as African as other Africans on the continent. They have ancient Middle Eastern ancestry that dates back 10,000 years. Most populations in the WORLD have mixed with surrounding populations either anciently or recently not just Ethiopians. Please educate yourself.

    She is really pretty. I’ve always thought that she looks mixed with Asian.

      I think a lot of people think she is Asian mixed because when I went to see her in concert in America there was an overwhelming number of Asian people there especially Chinese Japanese type of fans but ironically if you lighten up a lot of Nigerians and straightened their hair they would look Asian too.
