mulatto looking trick
mulatto is a derogatory word. you shouldn’t basterdtize others ethnicity who isn’t black or white.
she look 0% niggroid..
it’s actually not. i am mixed so i am allowed to use it. if you actually google the word MULATTO you will see it’s used to describe a person of mixed black and white ancestry. i don’t know why people get so “offended” by that word.
since you dont know about that you are not the qualify person to answer or express your ignorant opinion. or any kind of opinion.
Persian is not necessary referred to Iranian. it not an ethnicity lol. not any more.
not many Iranian like to mixed with non-Iranian.
no black here. .
I’ve never heard of persian jewish in my life b4
She looks like she has some black in her.
I thought so too, I see some black. Ive seen that evidence in some Persians, I think Africans black went there and mixed in. Actually Rosario Dawson a half black actress played a Persian princess.
there’s no evidence of “black” in this woman, and dont trust in Hollywood coz “ethnic” are alwais wrong
* “ethnic” roles
