Angelina Jolie looks Eastern European. Eastern European women make up the majority of the modeling industry due to their exotic looks. Modeling agencies go all the way to Eastern Europe just to find models. Eastern Europeans have beautiful faces, eyes, extremely high cheekbones, thick glossy hair, plump lips, beautiful bodies, etc. Kim Kardashian is ALSO Eastern European. Eastern Europeans are the MOST BEAUTIFUL IN THE WORLD! That’s why EVERY modeling agency wants to book Eastern European females. The other races claiming her don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about. Her parents have both said they are white, who the fuck are YOU to tell them what race and ethnicity THEY ARE. Mind your fucking business. They know their own race, so fuck off. Eastern Europeans define beauty!
bla bla bla *yawnzzzzz*
I Agree completely about her looking very slavic – slavs,balts etc are known to have some tartar/uralic/mongol/siberian/altai admixture which is akin to native americans genetically.Her father looks very very uralic or finno-ugrian.But I think she looks fairly euro/slav.
The very full lips are a mystery but both her parents had them, she looks racially mixed as a child/youth,less so now.Incredibly attractive woman.

@Cristina I think Eastern European females are gorgeous, but your opinion is not law. I don’t think you’re trying to shove your opinion down people’s throats, but you aren’t just stating what you think, you’re rubbing it in people’s faces. “Eastern Europeans define beauty”? Then how come on the lists of the world’s most beautiful women, there are very few Eastern Europeans? Mila Kunis, Angelina obviously, and Olga Kurylenko, but I don’t know of anyone else. I see a lot of Eurasians and mixed-blood women (Carmen Electra, Kim Basinger, Jessica Biel all have Native American blood) but not many Eastern Europeans.
There’s no such thing as a place that has the most beautiful people. I just hate it when someone says this like it’s a scientifically proven fact. It’s a stupid notion. There are beautiful and not so beautiful people in every region of the world.
Thank you San. I agree. I know it sounded like I think Eurasians are the most beautiful, but there are beautiful and unattractive people in every race.
@ Cristina lmao did you really just say KIM KARDASHIAN is eastern european? Armenia is in the middle east..
UHHH first of all. Why don’t you STFU and do some research BEFORE YOU TRY CORRECTING ME. She is NOT only Armenian, she is HALF Armenian and Armenia IS NOT located in the Middle East and THEY DO NOT consider themselves Middle Eastern. Kim considers herself white because she said people tell her she looks like the white version of Ciara, who is black. ALSO, her mother is full white and her father is ALSO white. Armenians are considered CAUCASIAN. Do some FUCKING research.
*COUGH* DUMB FUCK
Armenia is not a major oil exporter, so, no, it’s not in the Middle East LOL
Only Armenians that live in the area known as Caucasia call themselves “Caucasian.” Most Armenians do not have white skin and do not consider themselves white. People in Uzbekistan, for example, who have light-brown skin but not Nordic features do not consider themselves white either.
Kim’s medium complexion is not a result of artificial tanning because her brother also has a medium complexion. Her father Robert was not pure Armenian. He was Turkish and Russian.
Robert Kardashian’s parents were ethnic Armenians who lived in the Ottoman empire/Russian empire and were not Turkish and Russian.
So ethnically, Robert was pure Armenian.
His children are not.
You NEED to get a map…
Use to be the best looking woman around. Kind of gone off the boil a bit now though IMO.
she has never been the best looking woman around,you will never see the best looking woman.Since more and more are born everyday
OMG of course she has native americas descent, fool! LOOK AT HER! anyway, she said so herself in an edition of the Readers’ Digest. Go check.
hi just gone on face book this week love all your films but when u lost the papperatz in your jag when they was on a racein bike i could not belive it daren is a very good freind of shereen guerin she was in his band she lives with jonathon peter ball who shoots with brad and vinny jones eric clapton etc and how i got to u i will never know but thought i would let you no who i am may be one day i could see u and brad on a shoot
Hi Peter, ethnicity is indeed very interesting. I mean, you and I have dark hair and blue eyes like Shereen but is she of Irish & maybe Indian descent or could that be Welsh not Irish?
Love an e-mail, any chance?
I think she has got african blood. Her mothers is canadian of french descandants, her ancestors are probably from Acadia. And many white peoples of french descendants have black bloods, because history of slavery.
PS: Sorry for the mistakes or my english. I’m french, and i know my english is not good
To Rockxxz
I agree with what you said about the French,however it’s not just because of slavery
To wth
I have no idea what world you’ve been living in.Now except for the part about you and your son,everything else you said was complete nonsense.
wth thanks for the comment. you have a strong honest opinion on this issue and thats fine. But I just want to know what youd do if your son comes home with a Black woman.
To ethnic:yes it’s honest,but it’s nonsense.White women in the past brought black men just so they could be with them.All this person has to do is check out the past laws of this country.they will see that black and white marriage was so common that white men past so many laws to try and stop it,but couldn’t.That they were so jealous that a white woman would prefer a black man over them,it drove them crazy.However it was ok for them to mess with the black women,which they did;alot.That type of relationship is how I got here
do you have any idea how many white men raped their black,mulatto and quadroon slaves? on a daily basis.
look at the autosomal results of the PA Dutch alone,let alone the south.

Angelina has no African blood in her. She has claimed some Amerindian blood, but her published family tree does not support that claim. She has never claimed any African blood and there is no reason to even entertain such a possibility.
Her mother is mostly French-Canadian, from the area around Quebec City. Quebec never had slavery and rural Quebec had no blacks. I am also of French-Canadian ancestry from the same area and, oddly enough, distantly related to her.
Very, very, very few white people of French descent have any African blood in them. However, the contrary is sometimes true and African Americans sometimes have French blood in them. Cajuns (people from Acadia who were forced out by the British) who settled in Louisiana (in the United States) did own slaves and slave owners did rape their slaves to produce mulattoes and quadroons and other people ethno-socially classified as black or African-American.
Even today, Quebec City has only 1.1% blacks, most of whom are relatively recent immigrants from Haiti. The number of black in the surrounding countryside is significantly less than 0.1%.
To paul
First she has never deny any African blood either.Next we have it,whether recent or old,just got to get that through your head.Now you say Quebec has never slavery,is that really the only way you think black people traveled,as slaves?Black have been all through Canada,for centuries and that’s a fact.You have no idea what black people did or didn’t do,or what they were doing sex wise,or with who. Now I trying not to judge you from the things your saying,but your making it real hard not to.Now you say your(distantly related to her),what that means is you don’t really know her,so how do you speak for what’s in her bloodline?
Now your speaking for french people about what they have in their bloodline.Or is it in your mind that only white people are French?That no black person is french,who was born there,whose family has been there for numerous generations.People whose families started off as African,and after being there for sometime and marrying other white french people.Change color and are now white skinned,those bloodlines don’t count right. Well lets see,we already know that Europe has an avg black blood level of 3-8% in white Europeans(including the french).I think it’s fair to say that falls within 5 generations(150yrs or less),which means someone in the family was black.Now in the states I bet it’s higher.Also a lot of AA have french bloodlines(myself included).Also do you actually believe that the children of these people always came out looking like a black person.Because if that’s the way you think,your in for a big surprise.Now there’s no way that you can tell me who french people weren’t have sex with just 20yrs ago let alone 100yrs ago.There were countless children produce by french and black relation,and that’s before they even reach the states or Canada

Was a well known ladies man,and who do you think he mess with,black women(NO).
I want you to see some creoles of color:
It would be pretty easy for mixed blooded people like this to pass as white,and they often did
To Paul
sorry,the pics would go through

can’t prove me wrong huh?so the best you can do is mark the star rating down,sad
All races come from African. And for people to say she doesn’t have AFRICAN blood doesnt make it so. Many whites who have black in them will no say so because for some rason MANY people frown upon that. Full lips give it away but she do have african blood she will never admit probably
