QuoteLouisiana Creole people are those who are descended from the colonial settlers of Louisiana, especially those of French, Spanish, African and/or Native American origin
wow so guess Im right
you're not understanding what "creole" is, it's more like African-American, a culture :kii:
and even still it wouldn't explain why just those three are listed :dead:
I mean I posted a definition
doesnt say "culture" but thnx anyway
:letsmessfag:

isnt this just the breakdown of what "Creole" heritage is made up of?
it is, kinda
not with "african american" in the listing though.
there's a difference between african american and african. big difference.
at least when you're attempting to go back into history and claim your heritage. african american is something you'd use to describe yourself in the present day. not your ancestry.

the commercial clearly references her ancestry. she says that her skin is a mosaic of those who came before her. that is heritage she's referencing.

creole would be African, French, Spanish and/or Native descent.

Which is why I'm confused as to why they put "african american", then listed the other things. it's not a big deal, just technically it's a little off, and kind of clashing. if you're going to break down HERITAGE, break it down. African American is not something you'd use as a real breakdown of your actual heritage. but then again, white folks from L'Oreal put it together. so thats to be expected. :cheerup:

in any case, Beyfasa is entitled to claim her ancestry. it's hers. if she knows it to be true, press on! :cheerup: as long as people aren't walking around claiming things they aren't. there's no harm in loving EVERY part of who you are.
so basically Bent is nitpicking
thnx

sssssssssss

I'm glad you have the knowledge to impart on him. he just wasn't getting it.
dddd

its easy to get the two confused though.
but african americans are how we identify ourselves.
if someone asks my identity, i am an african american. the term in itself describes us as black people -- who are inherently a melting pot of ethnicities.

now if someone asks my heritage, I am of Bantu, Lemba, Lumbee Indian, Ethiopian descent.
or even just saying African, Native American would somehow suffice. (even though its so general)

Actually that's an extremely common thing mostly because people don't know the difference between Nationality, Race, and Ethnicity.
!!!!

I'll admit before I began educating myself on ancestry I would have probably made the same misstep. It's no biggie. But it's good to know. L'Oreal DAMN should have known.like wtf....??/?????////// ?????  :uhh: :uhh: :uhh: :uhh:

doing commercials on OUR heritage and don't even know what the fuck you're talking about
ugh. i can see why some people get so angry now :uhh:

Bentley!

Nah it's not shocking that they didn't know. I mean the term African American is similar to the terms, Dominican, Brazilian, Mexican etc., but when you hear African American you think BLACK so people are going to be up in arms like WAIT but if it said she was Colombian, Native American & French no one would have said a thing because people view that and other Latin American nationalities as separate entities despite having the same racial make up as "African Americans" just in different degrees.

I'm sure if J.lo's commerical said Puerto Rican, Native American & French less people would be like WAIT bitch why did you put PUERTO RICAN with Native American and FRENCH, unlike Beyonce (And other darker Black AMericans cause people who look like Bey usually can get away with it, she's just Beyonce so she doesn't.)
