Nope. Her name is Lydia Graham. 100% natural (has makeup on, though, no doubt) and no photoshop used.

"You may have understood the message subconsciously. The unconscious mind is capableof processing approximately 11 million bits per second while the conscious mind is only capable of processing approximately 50 bits per second. It is also clear that conscious awareness of stimuli from the environment lags actual perception by approximately half a second, but that a backward referral of subjective experience results in a individual's perception of the stimulus and its conscious awareness as simultaneous.

Some kind of esprit de l'escalier if you will.

See, I read St-Exupéry's "The Little Prince" three times: once as a kid, once as a teenager and once as an adult. Each time was a different story."

There is a big difference between having mixed European lineage (My ancestors are all from Western/Northern Europe) and having non-European genes. Race mixing is not a laughing matter, it's irreversible damage to the future of humanity. All problems are insignificant compared with this.

((( Outdated ))) science, refuted by ((( respected ))) scientists. Okay, got it. But to deny the very real, measurable differences between the races is at least as delusional as claiming the earth is flat.

>Moving the goal post, are we?
The quality of culture has always been the primary issue, aesthetics is just easier to point out. Sorry but different races are predisposed to forming and maintaining different cultures.
