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.

Too bad Bey has l'oreal and Halley has Revlon- So they can't really do Lancome. So Lupita is the next best thing..................

Kelly Rowland.
When Kelly was #1 all around the world with Dilemma and When Love Takes Over nobody cared about her skin color. Kelly has been mainly supported in europe throughout her career. It's not impossible, you just need the right material and push.

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.

Not really trying to save face...I just made the assumption like most of the general population would, that based on European Colonialism in Africa that is where Lupita got her distinct facial features from. And like a reasonable person, I admitted I was wrong.
That is kinda true, I'm afraid. The same thing applies to Asians as well.

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.

You're kinda a snippy bitch aren't cha?
Basic text books don't get into all the sub groups on the Indian continent, hun...all they teach about is the basic caste system, and all the lighter skinned Indians get the good jobs and wealth, and all the dark skinned ones live in trash, and clean the sewer gutters. Actually, the lighter skinned Indians do have some European ancestry...that dates back to Alexander the Great's forces foray into the Indian subcontinent.

For the last time, small features =/= European features.

So, according to this thread,
1. Lupita Nyongo looks European. Actually if you put her next to a Swedish girl you can't tell the difference!
2. Rihanna looks like a girl from Barcelona, Spain (let's just disregard her huge forehead, her African nose + lips). She could pass for European, def.
3. Naomi Campbell looks Chinese.

People on this site either don't go outside much/have no friends or have really low IQs (or both). I can't believe what I'm reading.

I did cackle a bit at this ^ A large majority of white people DO people think like that though ^
Admit it...Lupita, Rihanna, and Naomi don't have what most normal, everyday real world people believe to be traditional African looks. And most normal, everyday real world people (who have Eurocentric beauty standards) would be more apt to attribute their beauty to having a white admixture at some point in their ancestry.

Except there's nothing funny or inaccurate about saying that Naomi Campbell looks Chinese. After all, she is part Chinese on her father's side. Naomi is probably about as ethnic Chinese as Chanel Iman is ethnic Korean. People think Chanel is bi-racial, but she's not. It's her mother that's bi-racial, just as Naomi's father was mixed race.

Neither Kerry nor Taraji are anywhere near chocolate?? In fact they are both far more closer to light skinned than anything. What on earth

Lol girl bye, Nars is a FRENCH department store makeup brand created by FRENCH celebrity makeup artist François Nars. It is now owned by Shiseido just like Tom Ford is owned by Estée Lauder. Comparing it to Target, I can't even..
And Lupita looks black and African, period. It's actually pretty terrifying that anytime something/someone's great it HAS to be because white ppl were somehow involved. Like do you guys even realize ?!?
All my prayers to any black girl trying to make it in the industry, you're seriously gonna need them.
