Excuse me Lady Avarice, but you are plain rude. She is stunning so what if she is mixed with Latin and Arabic?
It’s not your call to mouth off other people.
I’m scottish, french and have arabic heritage- fluent in all languages.
You’re just being ignorant, make room for more open minded people.
Au revoir x
