They’re not too many celebrities of my ethnic background on here. She’s the only one.
Oh, and she’s beautiful. =)
Christel’s Pakistani-features are strong.
she looks more pakistani for sure
I agree. She doesn’t look black to me at all.
Hmmm, I think she looks Black, but that could be because I’m Black :) Not to mention, the characters she’d played on TV are Black. If you look at pics/videos of her from when she was younger, her Black ethnic background is more noticable.
She’s a great actress. I grew up watching her on Young & the Restless, she’s been on since she was a little kid (Love that show!) lol
What does “Pakistani” look like?
Why Dont you go look them up then you’ll know. They look like Indians but never call an Indian a ‘Paki’ because they will get offended and same with Pakistans if you call them Indians.
nice and different mix
