      Wow, Ethnic. You delete my comments just because I said Megan Fox, Anne Hathaway, and Hillary Clinton are biracial, but you do not delete this comment which is a racial slur?

        yeah. it’s okay to make racist remarks against whites (visit angelina jolie and megan fox page).

        avoid this site. doesn’t educate anyone. reinforces stereotypes and racism.

    I went to school with his sister and she never said anything about having Purto Ricans (Which are Spanish-Americans) in her fathers side. From Both side their family look 100% Irish. They wouldv’e spoke Spanish today.

    Naima Adedapo, Ashthon Jones, or Thia Megia should’ve won. All 3 of them had more talent then any of the last 6 contestants. but scotty’s cute ;*
