    Nice ! Can you tell us what do you think his father can be by “possibly other” please ? Indigenous people from Argentina ?

    There ought to be a page for FERNANDO LAMAS!!! There’s NOTHING AT ALL on Google about his parents. Most Argentinians are Whiteyys anyway. It’s the South Africa of South American, LOL! Except they are 97/100 Whites there.

    Anyway, I’m not gonna bother myself to submit a page on him: I wrote a page on Brenda Benet (who was Syrian and of Indian descent and not White herself) and this stupid website didn’t publish it! Why? I followed the rules, I didn’t copy any website, I provided proof and they still didn’t publish it. I’m glad I didn’t go into depth but still: thanks for my wasted time, ——-!

    There’s a Spanish Youtuber called Rubius who’s half Spanish half Norwegian too and legitimately strikes me as a younger version of Lorenzo
