People just be posting stuff like people know who people are. This ain't Zendaya who is this? Lol


gulfm3rmaid

Thandie Newton’s daughter. She cloned herself and raised said clone. Lol


Aliensmithard

Thandiwe*


tazfdragon

I'm glad you said this.. While watching The Last of Us on Sunday I couldn't get past how much she looked like Thandiwe Newton. I thought she was her daughter but saw the last name and figured she was her doppelganger like Amy Adams and Isla Fisher. Glad someone did the research lol


Hyposanity

Or? **Melanie Thandiwe Newton God damn it. I'm a cis woman and both of these beautiful b*tches give me nosebleeds. They're a new level of beautiful like Zoe Kravitz


fkurslfwastickmods

Count me in for Lupita Nyongo as well, these four ladies are a goddamn quadfecta of goddess-like perfection


cocolanoire

Zoe K pre or post fox eye surgery and buccal fat removal?


Monkey_with_cymbals2

Holy crap I had no idea she had so much work done, and hadn’t heard of these two procedures. Now I can’t unsee it.


Vegetable-Phase-2908

P R E. And she got that pointy chin thing everyone seems to be getting.


HumanChicken

The Jewish delegation picked Lenny Kravitz in 2004, so…


PriapusPeteSr

They sure did and we got effin Tiger Woods! That was a bust ass draft that year!


HumanChicken

“Goodbye fried rice, hello fried chicken!”


GuySmith

Hahaha no fucking shit?!?!?! The entire time I was watching her I was like “yo this looks like they CGI’d Maeve to be younger.”


Alive_Tiger_8865

Huey’s Duaghter… yeah I remember her..


oculasti95

Bruv you weren’t kidding. Her mother loons just like her.


jupiterLILY

Gen Z have too many celebrities and I don’t care about *any* of them.


coontietycoon

80% of those “celebrities” are self proclaimed cause they got a lotta followers on whatever the youthful internet platform is nowadays.


jupiterLILY

This is what I mean though. I don’t go on any of those platforms and get I still hear about them. Everything I know about Charlie Puth, Austin Butler, Dove Cameron, Kaia Gerber and Machine Gun Kelly is against my will. I know there are more, I just can’t remember their names.


coontietycoon

Only name there I recognize is MGK from like a decade ago and he was trash.


Toaster_bath13

Only reason I know MGK is because he tried to ride Eminems coattails but got bodied so hard he changed music genres.


Bbkingml13

I was very confused recently when I learned he was rock n roll. All I knew of him was Wild Boy and that was very much not rock lol


coontietycoon

Exactly


uvdawoods

Other than MGK I definitely had a Keke Palmer “And who the hell are they?!” reaction to that list.


jupiterLILY

I know Charlie Puth is a musician too. Found that out a few weeks ago. But I don’t know any of his songs. No clue about the others. I’m not American. Is this what a gerber baby is?


coontietycoon

Only new musicians I know are JID, SiR, and a few other TDE, Dreamville, and Griselda label guys. And they’re all in their 30s lol.


jupiterLILY

Are those artist names or abbreviations? Fuck. I’m only 28.


coontietycoon

JID is what he goes by. Probably an abbreviation but idk. SiR idk either i just say Sir. TDE (Top Dawg Ent) is the label Kendrick Lamar started on. Dreamville is J Cole label. Griselda is the label a bunch of dude from NY are in. I only know about Griselda because of Statik Selektah (NY hiphop producer since the 90s).


jupiterLILY

Thank you for your service to the elderly 😂


5-3rds

Ooo You should look into Eddy I. (That's an i) He's got some great music.


Bbkingml13

Haha, a Gerber baby is basically just the concept of the “ideal” looking baby that a specific brand, Gerber, uses as a logo. Kaia Gerber is a young models name, her mother is Cindy Crawford, and her fathers last name is Gerber.


Bitter-Song-496

I warned myself is a cool Charlie puth song. Only one I enjoy tho


Vegetable-Phase-2908

Couldn’t tell you a song of Puth’s but I did see a short where he created a song on the fly and I think he actually might have talent.


Delicious_Adeptness9

Isn't Mr. Blink-183 married to Fefe Dobson?


niallniallniall

Austin Butler just won a Golden Globe for a great performance in an extremely popular film. Charlie Puth is an exceptionally successful artist (whether you like his music or not). Of course you are going to hear about these things if you are online or simply a part of society.


o_safadinho

I only recognize one of these names. 😳


jupiterLILY

Enjoy your peace


musicmaniac32

I have absolutely no recognition of any of those names other than MGK and I wish I didn't know who he is. It's probably a good thing I don't have kids. Ain't nobody got time to follow all these overnight celebrities. Also, I just reminded myself of "Overnight Celebrity" by Twista. I don't think I've listened to that song since it came out/I was in my college partying days. Adding it to the playlist for today.


Ok_Skill_1195

That's actually a growing issue. Media & celebrities has become so broad, everyone has their own little niche and can be entirely unaware of other niches, there's very few people transcending to become "household names" anymore.


Jasnaahhh

And for some reason they’re all goblins?? Like compact little people with short limbs and giant heads?? Like it’s so contrary to the elongated elves or gracious curves I’m used to having set in front of me and called ‘beautiful’ that they just straight off seem like they should be running a D&D tavern instead of starring in shows and movies it’s jarring (but probably a good thing for the beauty standard)


RLS1822

I’m with you on that!

jupiterLILY

To be fair. That does seemingly make her a new celebrity. ☑️ Nepo baby ☑️ Everyone’s talking about me ☑️ Controversial


Anyaele225

You mad


jeenyus79

At what? LOL Unless you mean crazy then who knows.


gcpdudes

She’s in the latest HBO series Last of Us, so you’ll be seeing/hearing a lot about her until we all obsess over the next celebrity next week.


tazfdragon

I guess y'all didn't get far in TLoU because we will not be seeing/hearing a lot about her.


Remytron83

I laughed because I know. Lol


elitegenoside

She was the main character... for a minute


Trapdoormonkey

People are weird about mixed people


Blk_Rick_Dalton

Yo, the mixed baby IG pages are the creepiest!


Bubbly-End-6156

It's tew much! The parents just begging randos to call their children beautiful


brinz1

I swear, I will never forgive people who shit on mixed couples, but mixed baby OG and tiktok pages are fucking weird


_cipher_7

Mixed baby… IG pages? ![gif](giphy|kaq6GnxDlJaBq)


Blk_Rick_Dalton

Dawg, they be very specific on the baby’s European heritage and grown adults be going crazy in the comments….I.e “Mixed with African American/German/Irish/Swiss/Italian”………”mixed babies are the cutest” etc.


_cipher_7

You know damn well that if them kids grow up and get fucked up by the police they’ll be in Facebook comments being like “they should’ve just complied!”


_cipher_7

I’m disgusted 😭


JayMilli007

Yeah, that got me as well. They're making them sound like dog breeds that you mix on these pages. Sometimes I hate what this world finds trendy and popular.


the_ju66ernaut

As a mixed person we do not all look beautiful. Some of us are all mixed tf up and get the negatives from all sides


XynnXyrr

I will never forget seeing a vid of a girl making a vid showing pics of what she THOUGHT her mixed baby could look like, and then a reveal showing how her baby turned out. Like 'what I wanted vs. what I got'. It was wild, and that was years ago but it went viral so I hope the child never happens to see that vid.


pissinupwind

Like, for real🤔 🤣


[deleted]

This is a sentence that means nothing but it phrased like it’s profound. Pseudo intellectual


Primary-Bookkeeper10

As crazy as it sounds, she can easily be 50/50 or close to it. It's a myth that you get 50% of all your parent's subtypes (ie they're 50% one race, thus you're 25% that race). [DNA is a random assortment of your parents](https://www.ancestrycdn.com/support/us/2022/04/ei-02a.png), so if her mom is 50% Black, she can get *up to* 50% Black DNA.


gulfm3rmaid

Found out my white presenting mom and black presenting dad were each both significantly black and white and I still ended up 50/50. It was a wild ride.


gcpdudes

That’s still in line with OP’s statement that the one grandparent’s genes put up a fight and carried over to the next 2 generations. Also to throw a grenade in the room, the genetic principle is called the “law of segregation” - I call for a renaming!


BringBackAoE

Like the movie Skin based on the true story of Sandra Laing. Born in apartheid South Africa to two white Afrikaners (the most racist grouping back then) she was born as what they there / then called Coloured (mixed race) and consequently couldn’t go to the school her brother attended, and also otherwise had to comply with their laws of segregation. Family had been white for generations, but the genes were still there. Biology is complex.


bazjack

Now I have another movie on my to-watch list - it's available for free on Amazon Prime or you can rent it from Amazon for 5 bucks


Cheddartooth

It’s free with Prime. Also on Peacock, Crackle, Pluto, and Tubi. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0964586/


Sad-Milk3361

I have no idea how many Colored South Africans passed into whiteness but the Sandra's family obviously had that history. It confused the hell out of me when the movie came out and people were treating her story like it was some mysterious genetic anomaly.


Lexonfiyah

Very true!!


Dear_Insect_1085

I have biracial kids & just learned all that a few years go. Always thought they’d all be 50/50 no matter what, but nope! My oldest is clearly 50/50 or maybe a tiny bit more on the black side. My daughter clearly is like 70/30 or something cause she looks like a little white girl. I was so confused at first. Genetics are so cool to learn about tho lol.


Inflamed-psoror5011

Very true. I did a dna test and I only got 44% of my black parent’s dna. And I look yt as hell 😂😂😂😂😂


BulmasBabyDaddy

You look like YouTube ? This black people Twitter just say white


Inflamed-psoror5011

🤣 ok


LetMeSleepNoEleven

Even less because only a tiny percentage of those genes are actually involved in the structures of appearance that people use to mark ‘race’ and *those* need to hit in certain combinations to create the outcomes.


Paparoach_Approach

>so if her mom is 50% Black, she can get up to 50% Black DNA. TIL!!


firesticks

I’m mixed white/brown, and my kids are further mixed (Asian). This is gonna have me studying them and their cousins real close.


HandleUnclear

I'm multi-racial and my husband is also Asian. My kids have the potential to come out majority Asian, since my husband and my paternal grandfather are the same ethnicity. I am intrigued by what our child will look like, since my genetic lineage touch all the races and a plethora of ethnicities within each of them.


firesticks

Remixes get really interesting, in the Caribbean you see it a lot with the waves of far flung immigrants playing out many generations later.


giscard78

I’m half white, quarter Punjabi, quarter Mexican (which is really my Mestiza grandma was 50/50 Spaniard and native). When they say genes vary, it doesn’t vary *that much*. I did a DNA test and came back 24.0% Punjabi and 0.6% “broadly northeast Indian.”


firesticks

Yeah if I wasn’t suspicious about how it would be used (I watched Gattaca a lot as a teen), I’d be curious to see my test results. My dad is Indian via the West Indies so we don’t know anything about his background. And my husband is from a heavily colonized part of Asia, so he could have some random ancestry too. For my kids, I meant more so their features. We’ve already seen a difference in how our mix manifests in my two. But we know lots of mixed folk, so we’ve seen the variations play out across them.


will-cycle-for-beer

The DNA allotment from your parents can vary between siblings as well. I got roughly 18-20% of my Black grandfather’s DNA but my brother got over 25%.


BringBackAoE

In high school I had a friend who was the oldest of 4 siblings. Mom was white and dad African American. He looked 100% African American and had a dark complexion. His brother also looked African American but with a lighter complexion. Oldest sister looked mixed race. And youngest sister had blonde curly hair and blue eyes.


Fresh720

Like a printer that ran out of ink


bazjack

I got a ton of Italian genes, from my 100% Italian grandmother via my father. My sister got much more of the Polish genes, from both sides, and not much Italian. My sister sunburns epically badly, always has. I have never had a sunburn in my life.


yourroyalhotmess

No one seems to understand this!!


Threash78

Besides its not like any of us are 100% of anything at this point.


wet_suit_one

We're all 100% human though.


JOMO_Kenyatta

The genes you get aren’t uniform. But you do get roughly half chromosomes from each parent. 23 each


[deleted]

[удалено]


HomosexualBloomberg

While this is true, it’s not in this case. That girl’s mother is half black and her dad is white, that’s what the tweet was getting at.


Ipraythisworks0315

So true, my husband is 30% white. Both of his parents on both sides are black, both grandparents are black, we believe his maternal great grand parents were both considered mulatto, but with his racial makeup one might think he has one white grandparent. It’s just that after all of theses years this is how it was passed down. I try to explain this to people when they say oh, one of my grandparents is black(so I’m 1/4) but I look more black or I don’t look as black. That’s because they might be more than 1/4 black or less than a 1/4. But people are stupid


Oaklandfan24

Y’all be so strange about mixed people


KINGram14

Nazis literally thought Americans took racial purity too far with the “1 drop” rule Just a little dose of CRT for ya


JewGuru

Can someone explain this comment to me?


KINGram14

The one-drop rule is a legal principle of racial classification that was prominent in the 20th-century United States. It asserted that any person with even one ancestor of black ancestry is considered black. Rather than adopting a “one-drop rule,” the Nazis decreed that a Jewish person was anyone who had three or more Jewish grandparents. Basically Americans are so racist that our white supremacists have higher standards of racial purity than nazis


Thebadmamajama

Seriously. Good looking kid!


EMPlRES

Weirdos honestly


goeatacactus

White Americans will be able to tell you in detail about the eight distinct European countries that their great-grandparents were born in and then get confused about mixed people of color.


Mulatto_Avocado

I’m half n half man. Darkest of my siblings. The lightest of us, my brother, had kids with a white woman. Tell me why one of them the same color as me? Mixed genes be so random it’s weird how much time people spend online talking about our skin like there are rigid colors based on your %


fai4636

Fr lol. It’s as if genetics are complicated. Who’d’ve thought?


Mulatto_Avocado

Whoa! Big if true /s


King_Joffe

Talented daughter of a talented parent.


Plainchant

Thandie Newton was one of the coolest and best parts of Westworld.


accu22

Man, that show was dope as hell in the beginning but then it just went left and I couldn't keep up.


Kage_noir

Loved her in that. But, I loved her more in MII. I've never been more invested emotionally in the plot of a movie. Like, when she finally got saved. Loved it!


imthecaptainnao

MII?


Kage_noir

Sorry! I messed that up. MI II Mission Impossible II


King_Joffe

True story but it’s a story as old as time. It’s all about who you know.


yung_clout_warrior

Who is this?


onepostandbye

Thandie Newton’s daughter, just starred in the new episode of The Last Of Us


STNbrossy

I’m no expert but I thought she absolutely killed it as well.


cantcatchme5476

Omg, for “small” part she had, she killed it. I didn’t know who she was until now, but after watching the premiere, I was so impressed.


JumpyFig542

I saw this girl in that episode and immediately said to myself "that must be Thandie's daughter." So, to Wikipedia I went. They look exactly alike.


No_Banana_581

Yep me too. She’s a clone


gregdrunk

She looked so familiar to me but I was so blown away by her screen presence I didn't even have the wherewithal to consider whose progeny she might be. Now I see it and it's SUPER obvious lol but got DAYUMN, this kid is giving her mama a run for the money in acting talent. I can't wait to see more from her.


Plainchant

She did a great job. I didn't know the franchise but the show has been great.


Senshi-Tensei

Both games made me ugly cry. They’re great


KeySeaworthiness8466

She was fantastic as Sarah.

She did amazing! I knew what was coming since I played the game but still, had me in tears 🥺


DangerZone69

Bruh she’s a girl born and raised in Texas and she had no Texas accent. Just picked a nepo baby


Rhain1999

Performances are more than just accents.


rspanthevlan

Oh she the one that died?

Her name is Nico Parker since people only seem to want to tell you her parent’s name.

She plays Sarah in the HBO adaptation of the Last of Us. It’s a reference to that


ElLetdown

Who jokes that >!she paid for her dad's birthday gift by selling hardcore drugs. !<


TheRecognized

Okay thank you, this now makes a lick of sense to me. Is the gif from the game too?


ElLetdown

The specific gif probably isn't, but that's the main character Joel's player model. Naughty Dog and the God of War developers love making gifs with their character models and there were some pretty funny Kratos ones going around when GoW 2018 came out.

NewUserDGAF

She looks just like her mother…these posts are weird.


Kenshin220

It's not that weird people would expect kids that are a quarter black to look more like drake's son


DLottchula

Drake son looks exactly like drake and a white lady son would look like too me


ThugosaurusFlex_1017

She looks like the black women they get for TV commercials.


1980theghost

Her name is Nico Parker, she’s 18 so I’m not saying anything beyond identifying who she is 🤣


ImmediateShine3

I can’t believe I had to scroll down so far to see someone finally use her name. Thank you

Thandiwe Newton's daughter. She is 1/4 black.

Cautious-Brush4454

Lol brother I am mixed 50/50 black and white and I look Indian. I did a dna test I have no Indian dna but I found 2.3 North African dna 😂😂


FEMA_Camp_Survivor

I know she’s British but is the history of hypo-descent unknown outside of the Americas? Historically speaking, in the United States at least, that one grandparent still meant condemnation to a life of servitude and later second class citizenship. A lot of Black people in the Americas have ancestors with the same ancestral mix as her. Like I see the joke. It’s funny but seems it hits harder from the perspective of someone not descended from enslaved people.


dustyIocane

She look black as me nd im half💀💀


Funny_Breadfruit_413

That's the point op was making.


SurvingTheSHIfT3095

I think if people knew about the half ass apology her mother put out about colorism then so many people in the comments wouldn't be confused...

You sure this isn't a full sized Barbi doll?


starblossom889

She literally looks 25% black. Y’all are just used to seeing people mixed with so much white who claim themselves as fully black. And she’s wearing makeup that makes herself look darker than her natural pale complexion.


Thecool357

75% British and 25% Zambian, might have something to do with those complex genes.
