    Black men get around & sleep with ALL kinds of women , white,black,Asian,Hispanic. That’s why to this day especially now in the 21st century there all so many people that are of mixed race. A Majority are half black ! Of course she has a black father it’s almost never the other way around black father Korean mother NOT Korean father black mother.

    I didn’t even notice she was half Korean, until I found out about it like last year. Her asian genes really don’t stand out that much lol, like her eyes are sort of asian-ish. But otherwise, her skin tone & everything just dominates everything else.

    If u are mixed with black u are considered black. Even though I am mixed with peurto rican I still consider myself as being black I just feel that my black features are amazing especially my curves and hips. Ppl like kim k and others are really trying to be black and hook up with our black men to make half black babys which is so ridiculous. But u can mixed african american with any race and have something beautiful.

    yall dumb she is black. If you have black in you then you are black. Black is the most dominant trait. The only reason pple care is because she is famous if she was just another girl on the streets she would just be looked at as black from everyone

      It doesn’t matter what ethnicity is more dominant, she’s still mixed.

        To Moon and Melanie

        First off this is just my opinion,but I don’t think it’s a dominant trait,I think it’s a dominant effect.What I’m saying is you get equal amounts of genetic material from each parent and alleles are supposed to be additive.What I’m saying is maybe either mom or pop aren’t as pure as they think.Now no offense Melanie,but white people will lie about their background.They come up with all kinds of things,like I’m black german or dutch,just to hide their black bloodline.Or maybe it’s unknown to them,like James D. Watson.He hate black people,called them stupid etc.That is until he took a DNA test and founded out he was part black.Anyhow that’s just my opinion,and opinion is not fact;but I think I might be right.

          Fuzzy; Well I don’t know why you’re telling me anything. Like I said, it doesn’t matter if your 2 or more ethnicities. Just because one is “more dominant” it doesn’t change the fact that you’re still mixed. I bet if ANYONE would go behind and study their family bloodlines we’d all be mixed! Anyhow that’s just my opinion it’s not a fact, but I think I might be right(:

            I meant no offense,most of that was to Moon.Sorry to mention your name,only did because it was the both of you in the conversation,and didn’t want you to feel left out.However from you reaction,I guess you wanted to be left out

        • George says:

          you should just shut up because you sound really stupid. if you are mixed YOU ARE MIXED you arent one or the other. i really REALLY despise people like you. how can you be full black if your mom is white? that makes no damn sense. get your shit together before opening your ignorant mouth.
