Vanessa Bryant is Gergeous and its obvious that her ethnicity is Mexican!
mmm
vanessa is gergeous but her ethnicity is hispanic
mexico is just the country
She’s Gorgeous..& those kiddos, When Mexicans and Black people have kids together their babies come out with a nice skin tone..tú sabes :)
her kids just look black to me
she kinda looks like Kim kardashian funny too because i always though kim k was Latina ..she looks almost identical to Vanessa! I must say she is very pretty she can do better than Kobe!.
Ok, you’ve got to get that Lasik surgery to improve your vision. She looks nothing like Kim Kardashian. I wouldn’t mistake one for the other.
she actually looks a little bit like Kim but Vanessa is prettier and not a famewhore like Kim!
she looks like my best friend who also happens to be Mexican and very gergeous right from the start i knew she was Mexican Im from California and you see a lot of Mexican/Latina Girls resemble Vanessa!
she looks straight Mexican you can tell right away by her beautiful olive complexion and full lips ..and whoever said she looked Arab get your eyes checked Vanessa has a small nose and is not hairy or dark like most Arab chicks no offense
No offense??? You expect people to not get offended by your uncultured and idiotic remark? FYI, many Hispanics are of Arabic background… Crack a book asshole!!!
I agree that Vanessa is gorgeous, and she has beautiful indigenous features that I’ve seen in many other Mexican girls, but the second half of your comment was rather ignorant.
I doubt you have seen many Arab women. I lived among large communities of Syrian, Palestinian, Lebanese, and Egyptians…etc for 6 years. They were much lighter than Vanessa, (many Arab women are pale, especially in the Levant) and hairiness can be a genetic thing for the most part, but they always had their eyebrows beautifully shaped. That was one thing I remember about them, how nice their eyebrows always looked. You should get out more.
I’m Arab and actually Arab women are more on the darker side then Latin Women but both very beautiful!
