    She has like a drop of chinese blood so calm yourselves! Apart from her eyes slightly slanted eyes, I don’t see any asian stereotypical trait in her, and for the nose a lot of black people have that nose. And I read she has an asian face shape. NOT AT ALL ! Asians have round chin, which is not her case. Her face shape is more of a black trait.

    I have always been able to see the Chinese in Naomi. Such a beautiful woman but such an ugly personality!

    she does look asian come on now. ..that face structure, the only thing that is keeping you all from saying she has chinese in her is the fact that her skin is dark. If she had skin like kimora youd all believe she was chinese….dumbasses.

    Jamaica has a lot of Chinese ancestry for those that don’t read.

    I love Naomi! I do not know about the Chinese ancestry thing….but hey if she said she is why not believe her she would know her own background. Plus, there are many different ethnic mixtures in JAMAICA.
