had a similar background to amerie, travelled a lot growing up and am biracial too... we need to remove the mental barriers we pretend are real barriers, & she's a great role model for that.
@suegirl145 thats a little ignorant to say, there is many girls who are not bi-racial who make it. Look at Mary J Blige, Beyonce, Fantasia, Jazmine Sullivan, Chrisette Michele, Jill Scott. These are girls who made it and not bi -racial. Choose ur words wisely dear. Take care.
Hey she is half black and half Asian but I have to tell you all something that is funny about the entire acceptance speech a lot of you are giving on here. This girl would not be accepted for most of the Asian culture. Please don't argue I have lived in South Korea and Thailand and visited numerous other places. First, she is mixed with black and Asians don't accept that. If she was mixed with white she would be accepted. Secondly, she would be looked down upon by most Asians because Asian culture sees dark or tan skin as unattractive and inferior. Basically, they want nothing to do with it. Don't believe me? Go to Hawaii and check out who are the only people at the beach with umbrellas to make sure their pale skin doesn't get tanned. So you all screaming that she needs not identify or tired of people calling her black when she is half should really educate yourself. She isn't accepted by most of her Asian people for her black mixture. I didn't say all but most Asians are like that especially the women. Now if a honest Asian would reply I'm sure they would concur with what i have written here. Now the reply I will receive from some is that it is not racist it is just that darker skin people worked the rice fields and were poor that is why people look down on them. Actually you are agreeing that people look down on people based upon their social status or skin complexion so please don't come with that excuse. She is a gorgeous girl though and this post in now way was meant to be racist. Just being informative for those of you out there that have never lived and experienced Asian culture.
I always thought she was just black, she doesnt look mixed to me at all and her complextion is the same or similar to mine. However i think that its nice and am glad that she is proud of what same is :D :D
she's so beautiful... I just can't believe that in this age and time people are still talking about racism and how mixed people are better that others... get over yourselves seriously, lets move forward and help each other out we're human beings even with our differences in appearance and all. That's all I have to say... #onelove!!
@uniqueedgings Yeah, thats what I was thinking. But I was thinking more like 70% Korean and 30% African american in the face. & her skin color is so pretty.
@yuri77ish i totally agree...im part asian indian spanish and blk.....most blk ppl can only tell by my hair but other races can def tell im mixed..weird but true
@msmelody1960 studio lamps. they pump out a silly amount of heat and if you haven't got a very good makeup person on set, you're going to look like you've just completed a workout session at the gym.
@heomak I didnt say it as a bad thing, I said it only makes a good mix as in, it only shows that you aren't only black when you have a white and black person mixing. Because these two opposites, if they marry a white person, the child is white, if they marry a black person the child is black, it shows.
@Dancingqueen2700 hi, i am mixed too similarly, my mom is korean and my dad is black french and brazilian i have always loved black and white mixed so beautiful!!!
@KoreanAspergel sure, and will demps is another fairly famous korean blasian. i don't know why so many of the famous blasians are koreans on the other side. but i'm sure most blasians in america are japanese mixed. don't let the media fool you. there are many more marriages between african americans and japanese.
@themaynetonyperez What does exotic mean? exotic compared to what? define good hair? (Amerie is still light skinned- there are no female stars that are sex symbols that are dark skinned) most west africans are dark skinned (call it 'just chocolate' if you want) yes Sudanese people are mostly even darker than West Africans too) both much darker than most every famous 'African American' female celeb including Amerie themaynetonyperez: 'why does have to be a "short" afro' why not?
@yuri77ish actually, if you say she's asian then it's easy to believe. however if she said she had no asian in her i would believe it too because i kind of look like that, and ppl have asked me if im part asian, and im just...not lol
@beebeememe I didnt say that Amerie said anything about being dark skinned.... Amerie said: 'Some people ask me if being biracial helped me or hindered me in anyway...I can honestly say I dont think it did either'..etc she carries on making weak statements. ...thats what I think she is in denial about being mixed raced or lighter skinned does help you in the music industry because there are NO dark skinned women in the charts being viewed as sex symbols like her did u listen to this vid??
@Lanre1777 It really does help. Hello, Beyonce. Do you think Beyonce would be so sought after if she were dark. She has less African American features made up with blonde weaves and has appeared to be a white woman many times at first glance. She has a biracial look that is very marketable.
@beelinegirl lol what biracial celeb goes on and on about their features? And Keri Hilson, beyonce, and rihanna all play up there eye color yet Amerie, leona, mariah, and jordin dparks dont make a fuss about their hair
Im mixed myself but does it matter really? We all live and die..if we are saved we enter into the kingdom of heaven...but if you're not good luck with that.
@lubnan08 I agree. I love how non mixed people try to tell us how we think. How incredibly stupid. Both my mother and father are biracial so that makes me 4 different races and I have NO PROBLEMS with that. People compliment me all the time on my exotic looks. Men especially. I tell them what I am and that is it. MY RACES DO NOT DEFINE ME.
@Barfetta3000 Thank you. No one else should tell you how to think or what you are especially if they are not what u are. If ur not bi-racial you have to right to say anything about us.
@MusicandDancing4Ever First of all, she clearly looks half-Asian. I am bi-racial and am sick of all this race drama. You are both of what your parents are, not more than the other. Who cares what people think, America is obsessed with race and I am just sick of it.
***** Worst. I've never seen such narrow minded cunts who won't respect other people's opinion and top of that, Beyonce is helluva overrated and has no soul in her voice, screams too much and plagiarizes music and dance moves without giving credit.
@KoreanAspergel no most blasians are half japanese. that's who african american men marry the most. funny it seems like there are more famous blasians in american than pure asians. i wonder why that is???
@Barfetta3000 questions: who's this everyone barfetta? How can someone be too light or too dark?...too light or too dark for what? And what are soft features? I advise everyone to get a passport and travel outside where you are from....i mean actually to another country. Are you American? trust me its good for you to realise that not everyone hates themselves and andnot everyone fears melanin ¬ everyone has inferiority complexes and not everyone is bothered about western ideals of beauty
@Dreamydre15 wtf are you talking about? I've been black all my life and I've nv had any negative(or positive) conversation about biracials. Nor have I heard of ppl saying these things. They are just biracials. I don't understand what you mean by jealous or offended. These are just people and everyone I know understands that.
@lecifbaby i totally agree!....that was her 'politically correct' or maybe she is just that clueless! Either way we know the truth, and I stll LOVE Amerie!! =]
I love Amerie!!! She is soo talented, well-spoken and beautiful!
Weather she "looks " mixed or not she isn't going to deny her Asian heritage and say she's full black just to make you guys feel better.
She always says she's black and and asian. Why would she deny what she is to please anybody. Your ignorant!
Canntone that's what I'm saying . The comments were saying she looks black so she should only call herself black. Btw *youre
+Dariann Luckey *you're.
She's prettier than I took time to find out. Her personality would draw you to her music more than just her music alone. they should market that
had a similar background to amerie, travelled a lot growing up and am biracial too...
we need to remove the mental barriers we pretend are real barriers, & she's a great role model for that.
What a talented Blasian beauty.
Her Skin Is So flawless😣😩
@mariah1234ify Thank you. :) I love your mix too. I'm French, Italian, Portuguese, Black Guyanese, and Black Trinidadian.
@suegirl145 thats a little ignorant to say, there is many girls who are not bi-racial who make it. Look at Mary J Blige, Beyonce, Fantasia, Jazmine Sullivan, Chrisette Michele, Jill Scott. These are girls who made it and not bi -racial. Choose ur words wisely dear. Take care.
I love Amerie, she is such a beautiful person, and her music is Fierce!!!
she's beautiful, talented, edgy yet classy, and WAY WAY WAY underrated
she reminds me of the half korean half black singer named crystal Kay
now I want that skincare where they picked the rose early in the morning in Persia
AMERIE is amazing, I've always loved her!
Hey she is half black and half Asian but I have to tell you all something that is funny about the entire acceptance speech a lot of you are giving on here.

Beautiful!! Come back!
Amerie's the best! Her 1st album is a classic!
@Barfetta3000 Gabrielle is mixed? WOW! You have her ancestry chart?
I luv'd Amerie since 2004 "One Thing" ...this is the first time I heard her speak
she has a beautiful golden glow to her skin :)
I always thought she was just black, she doesnt look mixed to me at all and her complextion is the same or similar to mine. However i think that its nice and am glad that she is proud of what same is :D :D
I never heard of her before, but she has an amazing voice.
I like her. She's very articulate. She doesn't sound like a dumb blonde like some female singers we all know. Thumbs up Amerie :)
@ilikekimmy yes but black only makes a good mix with white, with korean you'll be very dark and will definetely be considered Black.
she's so beautiful... I just can't believe that in this age and time people are still talking about racism and how mixed people are better that others... get over yourselves seriously, lets move forward and help each other out we're human beings even with our differences in appearance and all. That's all I have to say... #onelove!!
I'm black but I don't care that she's light skinned. I find her Asian facial features just amazing and that's what I'm attracted too.
i like her this one thign song because it reminds me of going fast...and the really fast. (so thast good)
she chinese , black and indian she biracial and paving the way in the music business
@KoreanAspergel Chanel is not half korean lol. Her mother is 1/2 Black 1/2 Korean so she's only 1/4
@uniqueedgings Yeah, thats what I was thinking. But I was thinking more like 70% Korean and 30% African american in the face. & her skin color is so pretty.
so freaking pretty!
@KoreanAspergel yeah, she is half black and korean
hahaha, that description of the skin care product is hilarious - "hand picked roses at dawn", haha. oh well, guess it works.
@yuri77ish i totally agree...im part asian indian spanish and blk.....most blk ppl can only tell by my hair but other races can def tell im mixed..weird but true
I ADORE HER.
@DavidTheCatholic you're wrong. All mixes are hot....Indian and black, chinese and black, all kinds.
You are pretty girl, I hope you never do plastic surgery on top of that.
@msmelody1960
studio lamps. they pump out a silly amount of heat and if you haven't got a very good makeup person on set, you're going to look like you've just completed a workout session at the gym.

Because these two opposites, if they marry a white person, the child is white, if they marry a black person the child is black, it shows.
what does she do now?
I love her! She's so preddy. And I love Koreans!
She is down to earth partly because she' an "earth" sign....... Capricorn, Jan. 12th
@Dancingqueen2700 hi, i am mixed too similarly, my mom is korean and my dad is black french and brazilian i have always loved black and white mixed so beautiful!!!
i can tell that she's half asian half black because of her eyes and her bone structure
yes I knbo wht she is she amazing and insperational to me
@MsCarnisha mixed and black are completely different
@KoreanAspergel
sure, and will demps is another fairly famous korean blasian. i don't know why so many of the famous blasians are koreans on the other side. but i'm sure most blasians in america are japanese mixed. don't let the media fool you. there are many more marriages between african americans and japanese.
@themaynetonyperez
What does exotic mean? exotic compared to what?

(Amerie is still light skinned- there are no female stars that are sex symbols that are dark skinned)
most west africans are dark skinned (call it 'just chocolate' if you want) yes Sudanese people are mostly even darker than West Africans too) both much darker than most every famous 'African American' female celeb including Amerie
themaynetonyperez: 'why does have to be a "short" afro'
why not?
Do you have a reading problem? She clearly stated KOURTNEY, not Kim
@StarBrown08 yes those are gorgeouus mixes!!!!
@yuri77ish actually, if you say she's asian then it's easy to believe. however if she said she had no asian in her i would believe it too because i kind of look like that, and ppl have asked me if im part asian, and im just...not lol
I love Amerie
@beebeememe I didnt say that Amerie said anything about being dark skinned....
Amerie said:
'Some people ask me if being biracial helped me or hindered me in anyway...I can honestly say I dont think it did either'..etc she carries on making weak statements.
...thats what I think she is in denial about being mixed raced or lighter skinned does help you in the music industry because there are NO dark skinned women in the charts being viewed as sex symbols like her
did u listen to this vid??
I agree!!
@brownpapi75 LOL well said :) Some people don't seem to know the difference between Nationality and race.
@Lanre1777 It really does help. Hello, Beyonce. Do you think Beyonce would be so sought after if she were dark. She has less African American features made up with blonde weaves and has appeared to be a white woman many times at first glance. She has a biracial look that is very marketable.
she looks like kourtney Kardashian here!
@Applebaum That is because being to dark and being too light is just unattractive. That is the facts. EVERYONE loves tan skin and soft features.
@FrankERobinsonJr I thought such open racism was over in the US! You live together in a society, after all?
Amerie doesnt look UGLY she pretty to me :D
Amerie mother is Korean and her father is African-American.
@Maticallo well kourtney is kinda ethnic. Armenian so they have some arab blood.
@beelinegirl lol what biracial celeb goes on and on about their features? And Keri Hilson, beyonce, and rihanna all play up there eye color yet Amerie, leona, mariah, and jordin dparks dont make a fuss about their hair
I agree
She is very beautiful
Im mixed myself but does it matter really? We all live and die..if we are saved we enter into the kingdom of heaven...but if you're not good luck with that.
So true👍
@lubnan08 I agree. I love how non mixed people try to tell us how we think. How incredibly stupid. Both my mother and father are biracial so that makes me 4 different races and I have NO PROBLEMS with that. People compliment me all the time on my exotic looks. Men especially. I tell them what I am and that is it. MY RACES DO NOT DEFINE ME.
Yea, I was gonna say that she had a nose job too. If she didn' t have a nose job, she wouldn't look similiar to Kourtney.
@MusicandDancing4Ever it's a part of her, that's why she's on her.
@DaTruth2024 I did not say tht West Africans do not range in colour
I've always said she looks like Kourtney Kardashian ... it's so weird how much a black and white girl look so alike lol
I agree with dariann
The way she talks reminds me of Aaliyah
@Barfetta3000 Thank you. No one else should tell you how to think or what you are especially if they are not what u are. If ur not bi-racial you have to right to say anything about us.
god she is beautiful
@MusicandDancing4Ever First of all, she clearly looks half-Asian. I am bi-racial and am sick of all this race drama. You are both of what your parents are, not more than the other. Who cares what people think, America is obsessed with race and I am just sick of it.
Beautiful woman
I want to see how her sister looks. They are both smart. Her sister is her lawyer. One or both of them went to georgetown.
@GeneralRdot09 Oh cool. I never really thought about her ethnicity before. She was just...Amerie, lol.
She actually seems intelligent, unlike that other singer who's so overrated.
***** Beyonce.
***** Not really. Beyonce is so full of herself.
***** Neither have you. She has the worst fanbase.
***** Worst. I've never seen such narrow minded cunts who won't respect other people's opinion and top of that, Beyonce is helluva overrated and has no soul in her voice, screams too much and plagiarizes music and dance moves without giving credit.
***** Haven't really come across many of them.
@Applebaum
Pretty much.
im korean too! wooo and white :P
I thought i was the only one that said she looklike Kourtney Kardashian lol
@bunce101 yep why?
@Cairokmt Foxy Brown is mixed, Keyshia Cole is OBVIOUSLY mixed, Gabrielle is mixed..etc..etc.. Stop being in denial.
@KoreanAspergel
no most blasians are half japanese. that's who african american men marry the most. funny it seems like there are more famous blasians in american than pure asians. i wonder why that is???
She DOES look like Kourtney! :O
she is way hotter than the kardashians!
@Barfetta3000
questions:
who's this everyone barfetta?
How can someone be too light or too dark?...too light or too dark for what?
And what are soft features?
I advise everyone to get a passport and travel outside where you are from....i mean actually to another country.
Are you American?
trust me its good for you to realise that not everyone hates themselves and andnot everyone fears melanin ¬ everyone has inferiority complexes and not everyone is bothered about western ideals of beauty
looks like she's had work done on her nose...check out her Talkin to Me vid from '02'
@Dreamydre15 wtf are you talking about? I've been black all my life and I've nv had any negative(or positive) conversation about biracials. Nor have I heard of ppl saying these things. They are just biracials. I don't understand what you mean by jealous or offended. These are just people and everyone I know understands that.
She looks better in real life
So what is she, blasian?
@Daphneamy360 what ?umm... no she is half korean and half black...
Can ya'll read what i have written
instead of listing the names of famous black women
Yes she does look like kourtney k.

@lecifbaby i totally agree!....that was her 'politically correct' or maybe she is just that clueless! Either way we know the truth, and I stll LOVE Amerie!! =]
