    You don't get to decide what they chose to identify themselves as. My stepmother is from Suriname and she's mixed with everything imaginable: African, Dutch, Chinese and Indian. Yet because of the racism she experienced and people always assumed she was black at first glance, she identifies as such. Anyway, this forum is not for race topics or how people chose to identify. Please let's get back on track :smile: 

    People can identify with anything they want but at the end of the day if that person is mixed race they are mixed race. 

     

    Yeah, let's get back on topic.

    In many countries, especially the US, mixed race people are usually considered black because of the infamous "one drop rule" that dated back to colonialism and slavery. Lais may not look "stereotypically" black but she and the other models mentioned have all considered themselves black and have been outspoken of their struggles and experiences in the industry as black models :smile: hope that helps!

    They are mixed and shouldn't be considered black at all. Struggling or not they are not black but mixed. It's like excluding their white/asian/latino side. 

     

    Back on topic. I hope they finally do Adriana's  hair and makeup right this year. Candice needs to go back to being a golden blonde not platinum.

    Black folks: Lais, Jasmine, Zuri, Herieth, Jourdana, Maria, Lameka, Leila, Leomie,  Samile, Amilna, Alecia and Grace, and if you want to count Cindy and Aiden

     

    Asian folks: Ming, Sui, Xiao, Liu, Xin, Estelle, One

     

    The rest are either white or mixed race folks, probably their most diverse cast ever.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Would have even more with Mayowa #neverforget 

    Some of those girls you said that are black are actually mixed or biracial like Lais, joudana, cindy and aidan are all biracial.
