Does all and sundry understand of an genuine African American as well Charlize Theron? Charlize Theron born outdoors Benoni, South Africa. Theron grew to develop right into a naturalized citizen of u.s. in 2007 I wounder if Affirmative action would accept to White African human beings? i do not see Charlize Theron as an African American, Black African interior reach way of existence isn't her authentic historic past. The Europeans who got here to South Africa created their own Civilization from that of the Black Africans. possibly we may be able to call her a Euro African American why denie what you completely are.
