singer BRANDY - mongoloid features???

[keles]

Ok - do you all know of the singer BRANDY?
from MOESHA?
erm... she did that song THE BOY IS MINE?

ok well - I saw her latest music video the other day and she had her hair in a weave (meaning that she no longer had woolly hair but long flowing black 'asian' hair)
The thing that struck me is that she looked south east asian. Her eyes, her high cheek bones, her 'flat' nose....everything looked as though she could come from the phillipines or malaysia (as i'm sure they did sumthing about making her lighter in the video - they do that with janet jackson etc)

But anyway - does anyone here know what I mean? Do some negroids - if they have long NON woolly hair - look like certain groups of the mongoloid race?

(part of my study on the links between mongoloid/negroid races)

[keles]

here are sum pics of her - unfortunately none of her in her video:(

btw her mouth I beleive is the only thing that shows that she is negroid (apart from her skin colour).

Could she get her traits from Amerindian admixture? Also, isn't Amerindian admixture common in Aframs?

[keles]

hmm yeah she could have you know....

But what is there to say that she hasn't got any amerind mixture (why is it common btw lol)

There are many west africans (who i'm guessing dont even know what amerinds are!) that have the same facial features that brandy does.....

Yes Native American admixture is common among African Americans...but rarely do you ever see those features come out the way they are on Brandy, I'm guessing she has a more direct asian ancestry like either one of her parents is half Asian or maybe even completely Asian.

Another singer, Amerie, is half black and half Korean.











Oh and as far as Negro's with non wolly hair, well if they are negro's then that hair is artificial/straightened. Make no mistake, all these women who I just posted straighten there hair.

I agree that West Africa is more diverse then some would like to believe it is, but I think that almost all "black" Africans have non-straight hair.

The 'San have those Asian eyes but I doubt Brandy has any admixture from them.

Its common because the two groups commonly mixed.

Even I myself had a great great grandad who was an American Indian (Which I guess you could say makes me 1/16'th Native American).

There is also separate Black Indian ethnic groups, separate from Black Americans and Native Americans, but a mix between the two.

James Earl Jones (Most known for the voice of Darth Vader in Star Wars) is himself a black Indian.

ethiopians and somali's have soft hair - and not just the ones that have aquilline features - my aunt is ethiopian and she has quite negroid nose and mouth but her hair is soft like indian hair....

I'm pretty sure she has a weave or straitened her hair. Her brother doesn't have the flat nose or the same eyes as her.
