The thing about jolie is,I could have said her lips come from her german part like this woman here:

But then you have to look at germany history;it had a large population of black people living there and there was mixing;not that I’m saying that’s where she got it from.Now your right about the black population,I can’t think of one either;there always seem to be diversity in them
loool no i don’t mind it’s okay (for the baby girl thing) !! personally i don’t know an entire population of white people with full lips, but i don’t know either an entire population of black people with full lips !! there is always at least one person with thin lips in black populations !!
However, the feature big lips is more usual on black ppl than white ppl, and when white pl have full lips, it’s not as big as black people with huge lips lool .
But the link of adriana karembeu is actually an answer to zuzanna, who says angelina jolie doesn’t have slovakian look. like i said before, adriana is slovakian, and her features are close to angelina jolie’s (even if they don’t look alike)

What up Baby girl,hope you don’t mind me calling you that.Also yes I’ve seen her before,and yes she passes.But what I meant was how they yell,see white people have full lips to.Then they only show me one or two ,when I want large populations since they mention them by name.Do you understand what I’m saying?But anyway,I know white people have full lips to,you can just say I’m messing with them by telling them to prove it;like they always do to me
Do you know this model ?? Her name is Adriana karembeu, and she’s slovakian. look at her lips http://www.vivagoal.com/images/wallpapers/Adriana-Karembeu-4.jpg
It’s not as big as angelina jolie’s, but she has quite full lips no ??
To Luomi (cloudberry)
Well I actually meant for you to show me more than one.See if I was asked to show black people with thin lips,or pointy noses,I could show hundreds of pictures.Now don’t get me wrong,I know white people are diverse just like everyone else.On second thought,just forget it.
P.S that girl needs some sun
