She is white! Do you people have somthing against white people and the beauty within it? Why do you have to compete with her through her race? She and her family know where they are from and nobody knows better then they do. They’ve claimed being white and so they are. And she bloody looks white to me!
Shes not white, she has black ancestry and so do you.
come on now, Angelina Jolie is white! Mariah Carey is black, Derek Jeters is black, Vanessa Williams is black, Beyonce is black! But Angelin Jolie is white!! You cant go around saying everybody is black are no one is gonna hear us out when we state who really is black!!!
Correctly, she is Caucasian (in general). “White” refers to anyone that is from a European, Middle Eastern, or North African background. It has nothing to do with skin color. Angelina is of European descent.
she’s so pretty <3
Im so sick of people saying exotic white women (Angelina, taylor swift, etc) “have” to be Asian, black, latina or N/A *eyeroll* cant white girls just be white and still be exotic?
I agree however, how can someone in white America be exotic if they are white. You add in another race and then they are exotic. Just something to think about.
fail! there are thousand of Whites who are looking Exotic like Italians, Spaniards, Greeks and all those South Europeans!.. WHY? hmm maybe because of the weather..? yes it’s always Summer down there! so they tan and stuff! ahh go educate yourself! and Mrs J go fuck you and live as alive! you are Black I’m White she is Asian he is Mixed so what? it’s like me going around saying everyone has White blood and everyone is White.! you’re such an idiot, fool, jerk, and racist asshole!
Exotic determines what you think is exotic. Dark colors is not exotic to me. Black hair, prominent cheek bones, and blue or green eyes with stunning creamy peach skin is exotic to me. Of course, a person with those features would be of European descent. Also, “white” people is anyone that has European, Middle Eastern, and North African ancestry. It has absolutely nothing to do with skin color.
nope. Usually people of African decent have certain features that people in the “race” share,so it would not be a surprise if these so called exotic people were considered to be considered another race than they actually are. Also, it can be a possibility because like I said above people within the same race share common characteristics.
No I am just saying that in a white culture how can a white person be seen as exotic. Its like being in Africa and seeing a elephant. The elephant is not seen as exotic because many live there. An elephant in North America is exotic because there are elephants are not found there.
the White race is actually the so called “Universal” race.. that means we come in all Hair and Eye colours from Blue/ Blond to Green, Hazel, Dark Green, light Brown, Dark Brown and Black eyes and Dirty Blonde, Light Brown, Brown, Auburn, Red, Dark Brown and Black hair.! and the other two races (Black and Asian) come in only Black/Black eye hair colours! so don’t say we are only Blue/Blonde.! and one thing more Exotic is just a name for Whites with darker futures! Exotics are not part of Black race or so! jerk!
That was pretty dumb because Ive seen black people with blonde hair and different color eyes, we also come in many different shades- so what you just said was dumb- black is the universal race since white people come from black people! Africans were here first!
i feel like you can have “white skin” and still be exotic looking. i dont think being exotic has to do with your skin color i feel its more to do with bone structure and facial features. ive seen black, asian, white( european, caucasian, whatever) and spanish women that i consider to be exotic and goddess like. for instance and this off the top of my head, i think megan fox is exotic not because of her nationalities but because of her featured as like kim kardashian and cassie an shakira and adrianna lima and sophie monk. i hate when people are racist and say only white ppl have diverse hair and eye color, which i would say it about 85% true, there are exceptions and fyi, i am french, italian, native american, irish and polish. people say i look exotic because i have dark hair, blue eyes and dark arched eyebrows and i have a “perfect” nose and pouty lips. i also get commented on saying that i look like a mini megan fox ( im 16) however some people think im average looking, t all depends on who your asking, the whole world cant agree with you. ****I THINK THERE ARE EXOTIC WOMEN IN EVERY RACE NO MATTER YOUR SKIN, HAIR OR EYE COLOR
what you just said was very mature and refreshing for a 16 year old, I f this is what the new generation of kids think like, then the world in is good hands.
ummnot necessarily. I’m confused why people on this forum believe you’d be able to tell if someone has black in them just because there are certain stereotypical features we attribute to black people and that person HAPPENS to have them ( ie angelina jolie’s lips)- ive been to europe and seen plenty of people non-mixed with those features… then again we are one human race so it doesn’t really surprise me if people pop up with certain features we all have common ancestors thousands of years ago
but for ppl that think you can tell someone by their features. check out jennifer beals she’s mixed and looks nothing black, neither does vin diesel if we’re honest or wentworth miller from prison break or emma burton’s child (she’ s from the spice girls) nor stacey dash’s children- her daughter lola is like a quadroon and looks nothing black at all neither does sydney poitier’s daughter or quincy jone’s mixed daughter etc…. there’s a lot of people that don’t look as if they have black so let’s not assume ppl of african descent have certain features. once you have mixed ancestry it’s a coin toss what your dna will pull up in your children…just saying
Yes they can, rachel bilson. Rita ora, mila kunis and much more.
No never.
yes ever!
I definitely love Angelina jolie…….
wow before i thought she was like puerto rican or something
*half
somebody, i also thought she was puerto rican,thumbs down if you dont know what puerto ricans look like
Uhm, I AM half PR and she does NOT look PR. She looks how she is, Caucasian.
vanessa look at the world races and you will find puerto ricans are caucasian
Does Zoe Saldana look like Kate Hudson to you?
shes dominican,compare dayanara torres or our numerous miss universes,adamari lopez carmen dommenici,charlotte ayana and so on and so on
@rafael
Zoe is also Puerto Rican,but why is it only the whiter looking ones who are Puerto Rican to you?What about Tego Calderron,Sylvia Del Villard,or Carlos Delgado,Roberto Clemente and so on.The island has a healthy population of Afro-puerto ricans,but to you the only real ones are the white ones.Like you said people have continue to come to the Island.How long have the people you named families been there?That their the only real Puerto Ricans in your eyes?
i have posted that puerto ricans come in all colors,but for some reason most of the people here seem to think its only the black ones that are prs,by the way tego always states a difference between,black prs and white prs thats him.if you are born on the island you are puerto rican,but that doesnt mean we all have the same blood
@rafael
No one said that,but it’s you who keep saying that all pr’s are white.You say one thing,but then you only want to show the whiter ones,and say those are the real ones
hey wow i do that because the black prs do everything possible to convince everyone that we are all black,the prs that arent black owe it to our ancestors to keep our race alive,there are only 8 million prs on earth,
@Rafael
How do you know it all black people?
wow because every black pr ive met is obssesed with race and they try to convince me im black ,but i know where my family hails from,they talk about our ancestors as if we have been inbreeding,like we all have the same grandparents,i think their just denying their heritage
To rafael
I didn’t know you were stuck on that to.For the record,when I said you have black heritage,I’m not calling you black.I’m just saying some of you ancestors were,just like some of mine were white.However unlike me you guys go out your to deny your heritage.I know it’s the thing to do in those places,but man.Also it’s not that I’m crazy about race,but when I see obvious traits,and people call me a liar.I mean if you want to call yourself white,fine with me.However don’t sit there and call me a liar when I’m stating facts(easy to find facts)
really thumbs down for posting a fact
fuzzybear,im not talking about you,im talking of people ive spoken to,by the way are you black pr?cause thats who i posted about
To rafeal
I don’t know where my grandfather was from,he died when my mother was 6.However I have 7 family members who are PR’s(through marriage and baby momma stuff),a future sister-in-law who’s PR,and I’ve met a number of her family members.Also there are a couple of PR familes on my block,and all these people I mention have black traits that are very visible.
sorry for the double copy
Why do you hate yourself so much? You are black, whether you like it or not. Do you even know your country’s history? Your responses prove otherwise. Black and other people are not obsessed with pushing shit down your throat about your true self we are trying to teach you something but your self hatred racist tendencies are so ingrained that you shun who you really are without knowing the facts–you should be ashamed and you are really an embarrassment to the millions or even billions of indigenous people of the islands and the African slaves who died and sacrificed their lives so you can have the freedom to utter or should I say spew that ignorant shit.
He doesn’t have self hatred…you do. You are obsessed with his culture over your own. I bet you don’t look up squat about Africa or reach out to Africans…who look just like you. Hispanics have been around your people and we know your ways and motives. You are obsessed with trying to make people who carry little African genes your own so you can mate with them and become less black…b/c you have self hatred…like I said.
thumbs down for your ignorance. before you challenge someone, please counteract with concrete evidence and research.
PRs are not white, do you really know your peoples history?
yes i do do you?before you tell me to research you should do that yourself,i have provided facts if you choose to ignorebthem thats your stupidity,have you been to the island?to be talking this garbage?and you do know puerto rico is not a country right,you dont even know that but you want to tell me about my history? fuck you and your ghetto opinion
To Rafael
ghetto opinion?Why do you have to go there?You couldn’t just say FU,and leave it at that?
fuzzybear its only ghetto people,of what ever race that read a book and then think thats the only authority on which ever subject
Yeah, she came straight from Puerto Rico. All these people are lying….
