No matter what blood she inherited, oriental, african whatever. The importance is she’s goddamn beautiful and sexy.
It’s all nonsense. Even if it were true, how can one take claim to something that is soooo far back???
Funny how white people don’t do this. Angelina Jolie has curly hair, full lips and played a mixed woman in a film. She doesn’t claim blackness though.
You have mixed people like Obama or Alicia Keys calling themselves black, and black people like Campbell or Beckford calling themselves mixed.
Funny that:/
i’m so fed up with that … When black people are beautiful, media try to make them non black, overclaiming their non black side !! Naomi, despite of her “chinese” blood, has negroid features, including her eyes, her nose, her lips, and cheekbones !
For cry sakes i have thin eyes like chinese people, like every relative of my mother’s side, and no chinese blood believe me !!!! Maybe naomi has chinese blood, but its her black blood which make her so beautiful !!!!
