People would assume, like I did before doing research, that Lupita was not 100% African because her features are not what most people think of as exclusively African.

I'll use the Indian cast system as example...the lighter skinned Indians are considered cleaner than the darker skined ones. The darker skin Indians are usually in the lowest cast and forced to live in deplorable conditions.
Black men like dating white/light skinned women because their offspring won't be as subjected to racial discrimination/profiling, and just have better opportunities in general.

I'll agree that it is ignorance...but a vast majority of the world thinks like that.

Yes most in the caribbean and many african americans with these features have mixed heritage but it still doesn't mean all black people with these features have white/caucasians to "thank" for it!

But that is the assumption though...and it is true "in the Caribbean at least: that you admixtures of Spanish, Irish, Dutch, Native American, and African.

Lupita does not have European features. Wtf.
Neither does Rihanna (who looks like a lightskinned Ghanaian). She's considered 'exotic' bc she's extremely photogenic despite having traditionally 'unattractive' features like a huge, flared nose and a massive forehead.
|
Just because it's true, don't change the fact that people think that way.
Most people don't even know what or where Ghana is...people be more apt to believe Rihanna is half Spanish before they would believe she looks African Ghanaian.

Photoshop any dark skinned person into white skin and you will see that it's simply not true. They will look like a black person who's been bleaching. The fact is people that are considered beautiful have common features and this transcends race.

The world mostly goes by European beauty standards...so when a black person has Eurocentric characteristics, it is just assumed they have European ancestry. That even applies to Naomi ^

Could you please stahp? You're just making 50-11M blanket generalizations, just over and over again, like even I gave you linked pictures. No, all black men don't like white/light women because they're hoping for their kids to escape discrimination and have better opportunities. I'm sure James Blake's father was thinking that his son wouldn't get bum rushed and wrestled to the ground by the police when he married his white mother. I'm sure James Blake thought he wouldn't be tackled by the police because of his white mother (LOL), but I digress. Yeah, some may be thinking along those lines, but Western society puts white women on pedestals as the pinnacles of femininity and does the reverse with black women. Many self hating black men are not immune to this conditioning and behave accordingly.
And who the fok is thinking that Lupita looks European? If ever there was a chick that looked like she was from the continent , it would be Lupita N'yongo. The only thing that would make people question her race/ethnicity is her first name, not her looks. One look at that girl, and you can tell where she's from. A lot of what you're saying is what YOU thought about Lupita, not society at large.
And I have yet to hear anyone say that they thought that Naomi was part white. It is well known that Naomi has a Chinese grandparent like Tyson Beckford. Often times when people discuss her beauty, whatever positive aspects are attributed to her "Chinese quarter" or whatever.

What does this prove, exactly? Lupita aint the first Nilotic chick to score a European cosmetics campaign.
Alek Wek used to be the face of NARS.
Does that mean people thought she was European? What exactly is your point?

Rihanna most likely has some European features because she's a quarter white. Her daddy's half Irish (white)

You're really trying to save face here, but that has nothing to do with our conversation. You claimed that Lupita looks Anglo. She does not and I laughed at your claim. I think you need to look up what WASP features are.
As for people thinking she's not 100% African, what people? People who subconsciously associate good looks with western features or pseudo-intellectuals who are trying to pretend they're race experts? Celebrities/model often look atypical for their ethnicity, but I'm still not seeing anything "Anglo" about her looks.

Okay, the pseudo-intellectualism is really confirmed here.
First, it's not an "Indian caste system" as it's widespread beyond India and it depends on what community you're from. For an example, Parsees like Freddie Mercury (I doubt you even know what that is) in India don't really have a caste (officially at least).
Second, lighter people are not considered cleaner. They're considered more beautiful. Caste is class and it refers to social background. Higher caste people were from families who have "higher" jobs like priests and warriors and their descendants today retain their class through atrained. And of course they'll be lighter. A high caste family has a choice of wife and he will choose the lighter skinned woman and want lighter skinned children. Everyone has seen a South Asian matrimonial ad where they seek out a "fair" wife.

LOL sweetie. Lancôme Paris is a French luxury perfumes and cosmetics house. NARS is not. Just because they're both cosmetics it does not mean they are the same thing. Booking a Target campaign is not the same as booking a Dior, Chanel, Tom Ford etc campaign. French luxury brand are VERY racist.

Lupita does not have the same features as Alek. Mess & a half. But anywho, Rihanna & Bey do have European features, rather it be NATURALLY, or done with contouring, but they are there. A lot of the black woman considered look like white women in black face. I see a lot of people wanna ignore colorism.

That doesn't mean she looks European, are you guys really this dumb?
For the last time, small features =/= European features.

And you still haven't answered a damn thing. This isn't about Lancome vs. NARS. This is about ignorant, unsubstantiated assumptions. You still have yet to explain your point. Bolding one of my sentences from a previous post and then posting Lupita's Lancome ad does not prove that people thought she was European. It proves that Lupita has a Lancome contract. What exactly are you trying to say?

Expect we're not saying she "only" looks European. She can pass up as one/mix
Let's have a look @ Elite Model Look girls that's held in Europe- Are you saying If she stood next to those girls she'd stand out so much?....

GoodBYE!
The lighter black girl is the only one who could pass as being mixed with European, the others just look black.

I'm sorry but what Nilotic female has booked a contract for a French luxury perfumes and cosmetics house ? I'll wait.
Lancome NEVER books Nilotic girls. Lupita got booked because she CAN look European so they made an exception. Same with Dior and Rihanna- how many black models did Dior have on their runways?...I'll tell you, 3/93 models. Black girls like Bey, Rihanna and Lupita don't come around every day.

Lancome rarely books anyone who could be mistaken for black at all, Nilotic or otherwise. The last black model to get a Lancome campaign was Arlenis Sosa, and she's Dominican. You do realize that Lupita is the first black actress to get signed up by Lancome to be a brand ambassador, period, right? If they wanted a WOC who people might mistake for European, if they squinted hard enough, they would've drafted someone Halley Berry or Beyonce years ago. They certainly wouldn't be messing with Lupita.
This is so damn pointless. If you want to say that Lupita has a look that many Europeans find appealing, then fine. But saying she looks European is a lie.
