    Its very annoying as a black woman to see every pretty black woman called mullata or mixed. Its ridiculous and society is soooo brainwashed. This woman is a Black African plain and simple. STOP mixing people up for no reason.

    Her facial features look Caucasian influenced, she obviously has Portuguese admixture as stated!

    She have portuguese, se is Angolan with Portuguese on her….. With colonization born many mixed people ( mestizos ) and they have the last name cuz the ascendence. She can be predominantly black or what you want…. But she do have Portuguese on her. Anyways she is proud of her , of her culture and how and what she is.. And that is the important thing.

  4. multiethnic says:

    She’s ‘Mestico’, that’s the specific ethnic group in Angola of Portuguese descent.

  5. lima says:

    she didn’t say she has portuguese descendants loool, she just said that angola was colonized by the portuguese and thats where “Lopes” comes from. And whoever wrote the wiki page about her is a retard!

    • arjanguelsk says:
