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.

in any case, Beyfasa is entitled to claim her ancestry. it's hers. if she knows it to be true, press on!

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.
