I am actually BLOOD related to Angelina Jolie through the French Canadian side of my family the Pelletiers! She is in my family tree. It’s somewhat distant but who cares shes in my blood line! Whoo Hoo! Go Angie! :)
The only way to get people to stop fighting about what ethnic background that Angelina Jolie or any other Celeb may or may not have, is to have a DNA geneology test. Yes they can do that now. Welcome to the 21st century. Once they do that, and show proof-maybe people will shut up and accept the information!

I thought Angelina was also native american ( like megan fox) ????
No. She was caught in a lie. Her father issued their family tree and said that Angelina’s mother only claimed to be part Native American to sound more exotic.
yes,i think she’s,is not possible that a person 100% white has a mouth and skin color like her.
Ignorant much? She is not Native American and Angelina has several lookalikes across Europe. There was one from Spain, the Ukraine, France, and several other European nations.

She looks like a clone of Angelina and she is a 100% white and unsurprisingly so is Angelina.
Peace.
this woman’s mouth is much smaller than that of Angelina Jolie, and her skin is a little lighter than Angelina
http://plugadanamoda.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/angelina-jolie-8.jpg
in this picture she looks mulatto, I know she is not mulatto, but as her mouth is very thick, sometimes she seems have 5% black
Lina Sands looks very little like Angelina Jolie

Lina Sands looks A LOT like Angelina Jolie, even in the picture you posted. Me, you are full of shit and lie through your teeth. I know you saw that video I posted of Lina Sands and people thought she WAS Angelina Jolie.
Her family tree was posted. She is not part black nor part Native. She is white.
Get over it.
By the way, plenty of Europeans have way darker skin and bigger mouths than Angelina. Look up Jose Mourinho, Ralph Macchio, Janice Dickinson, George Clooney, Cheryl Cole, Catherine Zeta Jones, Antoinette Nikprelaj, Minka Kelly, Mila Kunis, Tony Curtis, Sarah Edwards, Irina Zhuryvaska, Sarah Hyland, Frankie Sandford, David Villa, and the list goes on. Their skin is much, much, much darker than Angelina’s. She does not look mulatto in that picture and yes, she is white.
Get over it.
I also love how you IGNORE that people of the same race or even ethnicity are not going to look exactly alike. This is common sense.
You are terribly ignorant.
Mila Kunis is jew
You showed me brunettes celebrities, but none of them have thick lips like angelina jolie
That ho has some black in her.
Of course, there no is someone who’s fully white with a mouth so thick
Well, you asserting that is not going to change the fact that she is white. Goodbye, ignorant one.
Me, you are racist and ignorant. Since Europeans derive from the Middle East who initially derived from Africa, their features vary just as much as any ethnic group or race. There is no such thing as being “100% white” since “white” does not exist scientifically. One cannot detect if one is white through a DNA test. Because you believe mixed race individuals to be better than all other races (which is the definition of a racist), you try to claim that every individual who is beautiful or smart is mixed, which explains why you claim Megan Fox is “mixed” (even though she neither thinks of or sees herself as a mixed individual) but not Ashlee Simpson, Jessica Simpson, Mandy Moore, Anne Hathaway, Justin Timberlake, Val Kilmer, and other white American actresses and actors who have a “little bit” of Native American blood like the majority of white Americans. Which is why you also claim that this “100% European” woman, Angelina Jolie, is also mixed, even though she is not. It has occurred to me, though, that this site is very racially biased; wanting everyone who is pretty to be mixed, even if they are white socially and culturally.
This is all I have to say to you, Me;
” I didn’t say that nor insist that. White Southerners usually have Native ancestors, and I said she is probably no more than 5% Native.
By the way, what is with you guys and this mentality that unless every single ancestor you ever had is white, you are not white? You do realize that is the same mentality of white supremacists, right? It’s impossible for white people to be a 100% white, especially based on how they were derived. I think it’s crazy that you guys believe in this “pure race” crap.
My point was that Megan Fox has the same racial background as nearly all white Americans. So why are you claiming that she is mixed (even though she does not see herself this way), yet do not claim all of the other white Americans, including the actors and actresses, are mixed? About 90% of the white actors and actresses on here claim to be part Native American. Why is Anne Hathaway just white and Megan Fox is not even though she speaks the same words as Megan? Anne said she has a “little bit” of Native American blood like Megan says, yet she is white and Megan is not. You guys only claim Megan is mixed because she is beautiful and internationally famous, when in reality, she is just as white as any other white American. That’s disgusting.
And you can cut the “100% European” bullshit, Me. Angelina is a “100% European,” yet you are still lying and trying to claim that she is mixed.
You are a joke. You try to deny whites diversity in phenotype by implementing white supremacist rules and subjecting yourself to a ignorant outlook, such as all whites must look the same or they are somehow not white. That’s disgusting and a shame.”
You who is ignorant, I’m constantly trying to say that Megan Fox and Angelina Jolie are white (relative 90%), but not “pure” as Amanda Seyfried and Emma Stone. If you think that Jews are white, I advise you to find out more about it. bye
There is no such thing as a “pure white” person. So how do you know that Amanda Seyfried and Emma Stone are “pure white?” Have you looked at their family trees to their fullest extent? Amanda and Emma could have a Native or black ancestor, too. Heather Locklear looks “pure white” yet she has Native and black ancestors. In fact, she is one of the whitest women I have ever seen.
You guys make zero sense. First you say race is not based on how you look and then you try to declare that someone is “pure” based on how they look!
I already know Ashkenazi Jews originate from the Middle East . . . but so do Europeans in general, and considering “white” is nothing but a social construct, I think it is safe to say that Ashkenazi Jews are, in fact, “white.” They derive from the same place, in fact, and according to science, they are the same race.
In fact, according to our own government, a “white” person is anyone who is predominantly European, Middle Eastern, or North African. How can it not be anything but a social construct when only decades ago the Irish, the Italians, and the Portuguese were not considered “white?” Now they are!
By the way, according to Angelina’s ethnicity, she is “full white.” You are the one who is ignorant.
Angelina Jolie looks like 75 percent white, and 25 black to me, and 100 percent ugly too, shes not a true beauty like Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Beyonce, and Katy Perry.
are you serious????
the woman is beautiful.
but anyways what i really wanted to comment on was ‘not a true beauty like Lady Gaga’?????????????
while i refuse to call anyone ugly i would not use Lady Gaga as the measuring rod for ‘true beauty’.
Racist. Both of you.
what’s racist about my comment?
A lot of girls from Europe actually look like Angie. She had several lookalikes who were from Spain, the Ukraine, Russia, and other places. She’s not that unique.
she seems to have a bit of black blood in her, as beauty, I think she little beautiful, no biggie
Lmao
