Mark Salling, Victoria Beckham breaking down American stereotypes. Love it xP
Also add Cheryl Cole and David Gandy to that list!!! LOVE IT. The White race is definitely the most versatile!
Do white people even exist?
Are you sure David Gandy is not Armenian? He does not look English, even thoughts claims to be.
what a dumbass wendy williams is i guess all white people are supposed to be pale and look irish or nordic or something there are basically 3 types of white people nordics, alpines, and mediterraneans.
I love how that hideous redhead broad exclaimed that everyone should just accept that Megan Fox is an Indian squaw. Everyone agreed, but when it comes to other white celebrities, who are especially exotic, they are something other and you REFUSE to take their word for it.
But if they say they have distant Native ancestry, it MUST be true, and they look as they claim. *eyes*
Yes, you guys are definitely racist hypocrites.
The truth!
pretty much
