    thats right Buzzcock. according to wiki there are quite a lot of Jamaicans with Chinese heritage. check out this page.

    A lot of them still have the Chinese surnames.

    You are wrong Naomi is part-chinese. Her mother should know she gave birth to her. Anyways the chinese is evident. I also know a lot of jamaicans with Chinese ancestry who look like naomi.

    Beautiful, yes. Part Chinese? I highly doubt it. It does say she never met her father, so how would she know what he is? Another black celebrity not wanting to accept “the blackness”.
