How can an english person be “dark”? English people are
a mixion of germans, scandinavians (danes and William the
Conqueror’s Nothermen) and celts. They don’t need to be
blond. F.e. some german women look Knightley, too.
But V.Beckham and Zeta-Johens can’t be pur english
just for your information german people are darker than english ;)

Are you kidding me? look up Atlanto Mediterranean. I can assure you, buddy, I am 100% British isles ancestry back hundreds of years and I have dark hair and hazel eyes…and where the sun catches my feet when I’m working, it goes a pretty dusky brown. (I put sunblock on my face.)
of course there are many many black haired and brown eyed people in britain or in middle europe
but look at her eyes they are dark dark dark brown
hmm very strange case
it is said that she might be of german descent
it is very possible that her ancestors had been German Jews.
her father also looks something middle eastern
David Beckham is Jewish.
That’s her husband.
Typical? O’k I learned already, ANGLO-SAXONS
are not white
Oh, I know, they are “dark”, cuz they have some
german roots. “ha-ha”
I couldn’t undwerstand, which sence has this “ha-ha”
Perhaps, Naomi Campbell looks typical british woman
to YOU
Black haired people are muslim immigrants.
English people can have brown hair.
My mom and her siblings all have brown eyes, hair, and some have darker skin. My uncle and myself took an ancestry dna test and guess what? 100% European. My uncle (mom’s brother) is all Irish, Welsh, British, Scottish and Bavarian.
When she was younger I thought she was part black.
she’s ugly, beckham could’ve done better
She is white! seriously. black people are always trying to claim beautiful white people. not that Victoria is beautiful, just talking about other whities …. lol
