personally i am tried of hearing some of the people commenting here saying shit like, she looks asian she don’t look black or mexican, or oh she doesn’t look black/africian american but she looks filipino. The f**k! the fact you guys are debating whether she looks this race or that race just proves how closed minded you are! just cause she has more prominent features of one race or the other she’s not considered all the above races that are in her blood? i’m just sick of this. leave cassie alone.
woah im impress by Agatha´s comment. well keep informing people cuz theirs a lot of undeducated people here about race. Oh and yes it is very funny in how in the U.S. we have a lot of cultures from all around the world and we just cant sit down and be open about other people. thats what you called being stubborn, arrogant, and once again ignorant. thanks for the info Agatha with all do respect.
Agatha that’s quite a pity that both your races cant accept you, and dont worry your not taking the topic to seriously, some people need informed:)
It’s really funny how you people are so passionate about arguing about someone you clearly don’t know, but your statements and opionions are so pathetic and so clueless about ethnicities. For example I’m Mexican/African American myself and I do have trouble with people accepting me. For the fact that mexicans cant accept me and african americans as well (some not all) Although i feel like an outsider i feel that mix ethnicities need to educated people of lost heritage and races to have respect to one another. My point is to get yourself more inform clearly in the way you are expressing your opinions before you start hurting others with these comments. Yes, maybe im taking this topic too seriously but ignorance is more of a deep issue.
she is just unbelivably daaaaank! (uk slang for beautiful) i see all those mixes in her, shes got that asian look but hints other nationalities. flawless.
