She might have northern european in her. french people aren’t really that white. they’re medditerenean type.
“french people aren’t really that white. they’re medditerenean type”: never heard a dumbest comment than this one
France is a multicultural country, where the color of one’s skin doesn’t matter, as long as you’re French. However, native French people are white & Colbie looks very French. Though in 100 years, I doubt if France will have any native French men & women left, thanks to mass immigration from former French North & West African colonies

How are the white French somehow going to disappear? Are you saying they will move away?They are still having children with each other right? Also no ones forcing them to mate with the incoming people
this paranoia is somewhat popular in the Internet, regarding Europe in general, and it’s surrounded by demography. The average total fertility rate in the European Union (EU-28) is calculated at 1.58 children per woman in 2014. This ranges from 1.2 in Portugal to 2.1 in France. As you can see France is already on the top of this chart (if you don’t count Turkey), and evidently not for the fertility of ethnic French/European women.

Well the same kind of paranoia is happening here In the U.S.
well the fact that she recorded a song in french doesn’t necessarily means she can speak french fluently. I can sing in italian but I barely speak the language.
wow I didn’t know she was french, and its cool that she likes going to Hawaii which I use to live and miss.
