i thought she was just a hot white chick from Colombia.
i don’t care how much you guys boohoo and poohoo. That is not what white women look like…. No one is denying that she has Spaniard blood…. However, there’s more to her than that. Like others are saying, she’s most likely multiracial. Only 20% of Columbia is white (European) and i doubt they look like this.
Um, yeah. Sorry but your wrong. First off I have to say I have seen many white woman in my short lifetime since I have been alive that are hotter than Sophia Vergara. They just aren’t celebrities(although there are a few hotter white woman who I would consider hotter.) But there are MANY who aren’t celebrities. You just have to live in the right areas. Second she has natural blonde hair and looks really good & white with it. : D Like a white girl with a tan, you know those really hot white girls. Mostly in Europe or rich neighborhoods you will find the hot white woman. But yes, the average white girl isn’t as hot, but the ones that are. HELL YES!!!!
You can’t tell she is full white by just looking at her. Granted, it does seem like she has a high percentage of Spanish but the chances of her having Native are high!
And if you need proof just look at her photo shoots from the 90’s where she was sporting her natural blonde hair. : D
Oh, and you are probably correct about her being multiracial but the fact is she has white skin. Which is why she looks so sexy. It ain’t black. Why do you think they call Obama black even though he is mixed? Because he has black skin. Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerp.
Shut the hell up you ignoramus. That is not white skin…. Emma Stone, that is white skin. Can you not see her melanin? You know nothing about genes. Just because you’ve seen “many white women in your short life” doesn’t mean a little something something is not present. Show me a woman who’s 100% anything, AND prove it with her DNA results… Thank you!
You’re an idiot.
M is right. She is tri-racial one of which being black as well as Spainard and Indigeno. She is funny and always sweet. She is not racist and isn’t ashamed of ALL of who she is. Why should other be?
She is beautiful.
she is not white
i guess spaniards are not white then
she’s colombian of Spanish ancesstry
