    She’s cool, I like her style. She just looks black to me. And she is black, I wouldn’t of though she was anything thing other than black. Why do people get so upset on her talking about someone else, it’s not you, dang, calm down.

  2. none says:

    its kind of ridiculous to raise her as Jewish, who would ever mistake her for a typical Jew who is middle eastern in ancestry? she looks Black and she will always be treated that way by people who have sight

    • nnnnn says:

      Didn’t you mention, the site’s name is “ethnic celebrities”?
      If she’s half-jew, she’s a half jew. To rase her as full jewish wouldn’t be correct

    • nnnnn says:

      people, who have sigh would be trat her as biracial

      • Anasie says:

        So nnnnn what exactly are you arguing? That she isn’t Jewish or can’t be allowed to be Jewish? As I understand Jewish people like most Semitic groups classify the mother as the passer on of blood identity. Her mum is Jewish, she was raised Jewish, I don’t know her but I’m guessing she identifies as Jewish or at least partly. Only a nimrod works on sight alone.

    • nnnnn says:

      Should we begin with arguments like “sh-thead”? (at Follers)

      • nnnnn says:

        First of all, I didn’t call YOU “masturbant”, but a person, who had a job in sex branche, so it’s o’k,
        if people treat him without respect and made a fun
        of him.
        I’m exiting, what for answer will komm from none

      • nnnnn says:

        Most I cann’t accept facts like: “her father isn’t her
        father, cuz she TOLD, that her mother had a one-night-stand with some Fabrizio-Maurizio and
        Fabrizio-Maurizio is a german name” (Place 1)

        She (Kate Melua) is partly english, cuz she CLAIMED, her grandfather emigrated from GB
        to paradise of Georgia (USSR) (Place 2)

        Sherlock Holmes is german and russian (Place 3)

        This site isn’t a serious searching, but very funny

        What to masturbant King, he’s AMERICAN, and
        you can’t push him to Sweden, and even less
        to GB or Germany

      • nnnnn says:

        Interesting, why my comments are always under
        “censorship”? I never used words like “sh..head”
        “Nigga”, too

      • fuzzybear44 says:

        @nnnnn

        ( I never used words like “sh..head”
        “Nigga”)

        You just did, haha

      • nnnnn says:

        I ment Kate Holmes. I know, that R. Downey jr
        is quartel-german. I myself was surprised, why
        he is always “jewish”, but never “german”. Maybe,
        cuz Germany doesn’t use “one-drop-rule”

        I should notice a forbidden word. Smb. hates his
        dad?

      • nnnnn says:

        “Most german would say”??? How you came at
        such idea? Have you even seen, smb. claimes
        even half-german like Willis or Bullock as “german”?
        Please, Follers, controll youself. Don’t use the ping-pong kind of discussion. It remains on
        anti-jewish prejudice.
        Your reproach has no ground. BTW, Downy visited
        just Germany, and one can’t find any word about
        his german ancestry. And now imagine, that
        he visit Ukraine, or where is mr. Elias from

      • nnnnn says:

        You would be surprised, but nobody in Germany
        calles him “german”. Opposite to Israel, a heritage
        of mother never defined a heritage of children.
        He’s an american with half german roots.
        German people know, that 30% americans have
        more or less german roots, but they are not
        called “german”

    • Multiethnicchick says:

      No she looks mixed. her facial features aren’t that of a black person and neither is her hair texture. Also her eyes are green. Maybe you’re the one without sight

      • fuzzybear44 says:

        @Multiethnicchick

        Come on,is that really the only look you will except for a black person.Also haven’t you seen any of her videos,with her hair in it’s natural state?

      • JoFacto says:

        @Multiethnicchick I have come across so many of your comments and you seem like a person who’s so unexposed. You seem like you live a small cocoon where you have crammed that some people are meant to look in a certain way.

        Basing on your previous biased comments on ‘facial features’, anyone WAYNE ROONEY is a Black man (http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/07/12/article-2013699-0CF87F9D00000578-26_306x423.jpg)
        which is wrong.

        Neither is he http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/07/12/article-2013699-0CF87FAA00000578-1_306x423.jpg

        More so, Angelina Jolie’s lips have never made her Jay-Z’s sister.

        The Ugandan Lady in this pic is 100% African; not caucasian or Asian. Look closely at her nose and eyes

        Guess it’s time for more Open-mindedness!

        • Multiethnicchick says:

          Maybe you should actually study biology and anthropology.Just as a black widow spider is identified by it’s red mark and you would differentiate it from a brown recluse that is characterized as having a violin symbol, we differentiate humans the same way.

          I dont know why you anthropocentric fools seem to think humans are outside the rules they developed for every other living thing. Forensic anthropologist can determine race of a human skeleton because of skull shape. Asians, Australian Aborginals, Black Africans, and Europids have distinct features in the same way spiders have distinct features. Facial features, hair texture and skull shape reveal race. If you dint get this, you have no business discussing race. This was determined by climate. Biology 101. Christ people are stupid.

      • midori29 says:

        Her facial features and hair texture are BLACK. I am black not biracial and may hair is straighter than hers and mine is curly. Google Ethiopians , she looks East African

      • midori29 says:

        @Multiethnic, you need to hang out with more black people. Black people range from light caramel to dark tar in color and from wavy straight to kinky in hair texture. You are really being stereotypically racist. Its sad. I would admit if she look more white as biracials like Mariah Carey do but this woman could easily pass for an East African black person.

        • Multiethnicchick says:

          Mariah Carey is mostly white you idiot. And stereotypically racist?!

          Climate did not influence black people to have straight and wavy hair but go ahead give me an ethnic group of black people with naturally wavy/straight hair, I’ll wait.

          East Africans are mixed with Arab as in Eurasian Dna. There are plenty if studies published on this and if you actually opened a history book, you would know this.

    • lexi_redbone says:

      No she does not She looks Like What SHE IS MIXED. So don’t hate. She has very light Skin color. Her skin color is not black Stop considering people with brown skin or Black. Its people like you that get on my nerves Always trying to label people as one race. Their is such thing as mixed race people.

    • hi says:

      Okay. Her mom is jewish and obviously wanted to her as a jew. Why wouldnt it be correct? The mom passed her beliefs to her child. Just because she doesnt look jewish doesnt mean she isnt one. I know someone who is half muslim, half-white and he looks white (fair skin, blonde hair, blue eyes), yet she is muslim in faith.

  3. victoria says:

    She looks African American to me she’s sooo pretty

      • Multiethnicchick says:

        No she doesn’t she looks mixed.

        • fuzzybear44 says:

          @Multiethnicchick

          African Americans come in many different looks,there’s nothing fixed about their appearance.It’s a cultural Identity ,not a color.So saying she looks mixed,and not AA makes no sense.

          • AfroRussianMixed says:

            Slow brainfart. Double contradicting yourself. Just because a lot of African American claim only Black because they either don’t know their mixture or want to acknowledge ONE race (the Black race only) doesn’t make this girl who KNOWS what she is make her JUST an African American (which is really NOT a damn fücking race!!!)

        • midori29 says:

          I honestly don’t think she looks very mixed. I was born in a multi racial South American country so I know what mixed looks like, she is a more black looking mixed person.

    she is also famous for her role in The Vampire Diaries

    SHE WEARS FAKE GREEN CONTACT LENSES TO MAKE HERSELF APPEAR MORE EXOTIC
