You must have missed it. She isn't African American. She's Iranian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethnicity wise she is African American, and that's where Roseanne's comments come into play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably people are being "outraged" because she is racially African American and Roseanne referred to apes. Snorri is claiming not to get that, no obvious reason why. Maybe she meant she does look like one of the actresses from the films but that does seem somewhat dubious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
