Yeah, she just has almond shaped eyes like asian people just like alot of other ethnic groups. You'd be suprised at how many black people have eyes like that. Also a lot of blacks in America have native american ancestry and they are known for having almond shaped eyes too because they're asiatic, so that could be a trait thats passed down as well, I guess?

I was just thinking that she resembles Denyce Lawton http://www.imdb.com/board/21269155/. She is a Korean/Black actress and model.

My husband is black has slanted eyes and he has no chinese in him and he doesn't like it when people assumes he has asian in him, not that he doesn't like asians but he has cuban in him. you shouldn't go around saying things like that about people when you don't know because it can be insulting if they are proud of who they already are.

Oh, Lord
First of all, not all Asians are ChineseChina is ONE country in Asialook at a map before you speak and make a fool of yourself.
Secondly, "Cuban" is a nationality, not an ethnicity and since most Latinos have indigenous roots, they would therefore have Asian ancestry (as I'm sure you don't know, indigenous Americans migrated to the Americas from the Asian continent), so he could have very possibly gotten his "slanted eyes" from Asian ancestors who were Cuban.
Lastly, how exactly has anyone on this board insulting anyone else by suggesting that they are part Asian??? Being proud of one's Blackness has absolutely nothing to do with being insulted at being thought to be something else. Read a book and gain some knowledge before you start debating with people of average intelligence :::rolling eyes::: -

You know what you're right, some latins do have asian ancestry, and i am not so unintelligent that i can't read. secondly, If my husband doesn't like being mistaken for it, that is how he feels, don't get all indignent because i am stating the truth. And they weren't asking him if he had asian ancestry they were asking him if he was half asian. so get off your beep high and mighty horse. If that's how he feels that's how he feels. And he isn't the only one who feels that way, black people who don't have any asian ancestry don't like it either, not because they have something against asians, they just don't like it, and you can't change that by trying to get all philosophical. If you wanna get real deep, study up on how scientist believe that the human species orginates from africa. And how fossils found there are supporting this. And therefore, asians would have gotten there looks from african ancestry, if you wanna be so "DEEP". portia phillips, :::sticks up middle finger:::

Most people have no idea of how racially mixed this world is. And FYI, most of Cuba is of African decent, some of and some non native american descent, although there are many mestizos. Without knowing what her husbands background is I am assuming that he is dark or brown skinned and has almond smalled eyes that have a upper eyelid that folds over. Many Africans have these traits. In fact Africans many many years ago migrated to what is now called Asia, which includes south, north and east asia. So many Asians do have African ancestry as do some Africans, due to the fact that Africans and Asians were trading before European or Roman contact. So the world is a mutt when you think about it. We all come for a black woman anyways.
