  3. WTF says:

    she looks very exotic for a white woman. she looks part black and native american. she could pass for a multiracial brazilian or puerto rican

      Can I quote your username? – WTF

      So if someone is “exotic”, they are automatically part black or Native American? And what Native American? This woman is from England. Gee…

      If anything, you can say she is Portuguese or Italian. The others are a stretch….

      • alexgxo says:

        England is very multicultural and some Caribbeans from ex British colonies are immigrating there. Plus UK does in contrast to Europe have a lot of black people in there.

        • fatkat says:

          England IS in Europe you idiot. And Victoria clearly is not black at all.

            @fatkat

            Yes England is in Europe, but black people have been in England for a long time, and have mixed with the white population there. So it’s very easy for her to have African blood in her ancestry, not saying she does, just that it is possible

    She’s probably 1/8th black, no more.

    • andrew says:

      she’s white, stfu

      • Check7t says:

        She looks part black, not the first person to notice it either.

        • Jordan says:

          She can’t be part black, she is English. Black people have not lived in europe until very recent years. Black slaves were not taken directly to England.

            @Jordan

            I don’t know what Victoria true background is, and I’m not saying she is or isn’t part black. However this comment you made is completely wrong. It’s obvious you didn’t even try to check things out before you type this .Black people have always been in Europe, they were the first humans there(based on current info)

          • Kimmel says:

            Parts of history have been ‘whitewashed’. Wouldn’t want it getting out that great inventions, traditions and ideas belong to other races.

          • crunty says:

            There have been black people in europe for over 2000 years, as a consequence of the Roman Empire. There were black people on the island of Britain when it was an integral part of the Western Roman Empire. England, Wales and Scotland didn’t exist then.

        • alexgxo says:

          Yes. England is becoming more multicultural than ever before and even back during the early 1900s considering how Ryan Giggs the guy whose 1/4th black was born in UK.

          I could see her being part black and I wouldn’t bat an eye if she claimed too.

          No, no she doesn’t. She has very small refined features. She’s white and you have a problem with that
