Birth Name: Sabine Erika Singh
Place of Birth: Suffern, New York, U.S.
Date of Birth: August 4, 1974
Ethnicity: Indian, Austrian
Sabine Singh is an American actress.
Sabine’s mother, Gisa, a beauty queen, is Austrian. Her father, Anand, is said to be of Indian descent, but appears to have been born in Lautoka, Fiji. Many people in Lautoka are of Indian descent.
Sabine’s maternal grandfather’s surname was Voigt.
Add Indo-Fijian to the ethnicity and tags.
Everybody doubt that.
An Indian from Fiji? That’s pretty cool.
Her father is said to be Indian, but when I tried to look him up on familysearch I found a man with the same first name and surname who was born the same year as her father. The man was born in Fiji. I don’t know if it’s the right person, and I don’t remember right now why I decided it was worth mentioning.
Fiji actually has a lot of people of Indian descent. Singh is a very common name among them.
Singh is a ridiculously common name for Indians
The point is that there are no available pics of her father in the web and it’s very hard to believe she’s half Indian
So it’s hard for you to believe that someone named Anand Singh is Indian? Or is her mother keeping a secret? Indians come in all shades.
No, you did not get what I mean. It’s very possible her mother “keeps a secret”, or do you believe this woman is really half Indian??
According to a BBC report, 10% of kids (in England) are raised by daddies who are not the biological ones
I personally know cases like this, and probably you too.
It’s possible that her mother keeps a secret (your phrasing from the beginning), but only to the same extent as it’s possible for every celebrity here. Why are you always so preoccupied with looks? You wouldn’t be this doubtful if the celebrity looked like their presumed ethnicity, yet it’s still possible that, let’s say, Alex Pettyfer’s mother is keeping a secret and that his father is a German immigrant.
Yes, I do believe she is half Indian. If evidence that her father isn’t her father comes along, I will change my mind. Aishwarya Rai is fully Indian, if Sabine’s father looks like her I wouldn’t find her look weird at all. And if Martin Gore is half black, anything is possible. Genetics are strange.
Until I see a pic of her father, I don’t believe she’s half Indian.
Yes, I am preoccupied with looks because if someone is half Indian it necessarily has to show at least some certain traits in the phenotype, while in this case there is absolutely nothing that is very very suspicious.
About Martin Gore “half black”, if his biological father is really African-American, he had to be 50% SSA or so, maybe less, because of course he would not look like that as we know.
Here we go again… how do you know he “of course” wouldn’t look like that? How you just can’t accept that people sometimes turn out looking atypical for their ethnicity is beyond me. And did you not find my height example convincing?
We need fuzzybear to continue this argumentation with you. This is not my preferred type of comment to make.
In this case, are you dumb or just plain stupid?
Are you telling me that the children of Swedish women (for example) and Sub-Sarahan African immigrants look like Martin Gore??
I’m neither dumb nor stupid, thank you. Quite the contrary actually.
Are you telling me that the children of Swedish women and Sub-Sarahan African immigrants will all have the same skin tone? And Martin Gore’s father isn’t African, but African-American, which means Martin is most probably over 50% British in total (his father being half white is pushing it though, it’s rare for people in his generation to have one black and one white parent), which probably helps with producing Martin’s looks. None of us knows Martin’s genetic makeup fully, but I’m not pretending that I know it just by looking at him. I would never have guessed that Tommy Chong is half Chinese, for example. To me, he looks 0% Chinese. But evidently he isn’t.
You can have two “black” parents and still be just around 50% SSA, as the mighty Prof. Gates is.
I still struggle to believe Tommy Chong is half-Chinese too. The fact that there’s little to no available info about his father does not help.
That’s correct. India is the original melting pot of the world. We have all three races here – Offwhite OG Aryan 1.0, Oriental (Chinese-type) and Abo-Negroid (Dravidians). Because the media deliberately always shows the dravidians as indians, it’s hard for people to digest that there are Aryans in India too. Sabine Singh is proof that Aryans exist in India too, otherwise she would not have come out looking like an Aryan. When you mix OG Aryan 1.0 and Aryan 2.0 (popularly referred to as “white”) the result is an Aryan. If you mix an Aryan 2.0 and a dravidian, the result would not look Aryan.
@automatik
That is curious…you said western media basically blackwash Indians while Bollywood is accused of the other way round: whitewashing. Anyhow, until I dont see a Sabine father’s pic, I dont buy she is half Indian. But mind her father is from Fiji, where there are also some people of British/Euro descent, so who knows.
Maharaja? Isn’t that a title, not an ethnicity.
