Alessia has said:
Both my parents are Italian. My mom was born and raised in Italy. My dad was born in Canada, but then they moved to Italy. He moved back and forth, but he’s first generation Canadian because both of his parents were born and raised in Italy. My mom moved to Canada with my dad after they got married. I’m really in touch with my Italian roots. My mom’s whole side of the family is there…. [I spoke Italian] when I was younger, my mom didn’t speak English, so she always spoke to us in Italian. I had a weird accent when I was [a] kid. I didn’t really know how to speak English because they’d always speak to me in Italian. I didn’t learn how to speak English without an Italian accent until kindergarten.
Well, Italians, Greeks, Balkan people (I.e. Albanians, Serbs, Croats, Bosnians, etc) and others can look Middle Eastern.
well, at least about Croats and Bosnians it’s absolutely bulls#it.
She said her family is from Calabria.
in that case it’s some extremely atypical sequence of siblings, even though Calabria is anthropologically recorded as the darkest region of Italy’s mailand by pigmentation
Many white people have this same pigmentation because of the tan. Who is a descendant of Italian and lives in South America, for example, takes a lot of bathing in the sea of beaches and ends up developing a pigmentation in the skin causing in spots and a dark tone in different parts of the body. Does not mean anything. There is a lot of Italian with this color, even darker if they come from a certain region of Italy.
She looks like a typical northern African (Algerian, Tunisian, Moroccan).
Pure Italians don’t look like that.
Italians, Greeks, Spaniards, Portuguese, etc can also look Middle Eastern.
Cause they are about 10%-40% afro Arab.
You have no idea what black people look like then
You clearly don’t either because I’ve met plenty of black girls who look like her. Contrary to popular belief, all black people don’t look the same…
Black people look like Balotelli, not like her, she just looks mediterranean and there is no such thing as “pure italians”.
Some italians can pass as black but not alessia,her looks clearly lean meditteranean or like a very light skinned BW person.
Half:YES
Full:NO
By that I guess Alessia’s just really exotic looking. Or she could have distant african ancestors. Anyone’s guess.
She looks just like this HALF Jewish/half Western European descent girl, Jade Ramey. Everyone thought she was mixed but her 23andme DNA test revealed that she was 97 percent European/european Jewish, 1 percent middle eastern and 2 percent black/Africa which is pretty normal results (minus the half euro Jewish) for “white people”. I guess Alesia’s cara may Be one of those people.
Jade Ramey is fake and you can’t believe anything with fake people
