Angelina Jolie: 'My blonde-haired natural daughter Shiloh is the outcast in our family'
by DONNA McCONNELL

Angelina Jolie revealed that her blonde-haired blue-eyed natural child Shiloh, 20 months, is the "outcast" in her ethnically diverse family.

The actress - who has adopted three other children from around the world - said in a revealing interview, that her only biological child, fathered by actor Brad Pitt, is the odd one out because of her bright blonde hair.

Angelina and partner Brad Pitt also have six-year-old Maddox from Cambodia, four-year-old Pax Thien from Vietnam and two-year-old Zahara who they adopted in Ethiopia.

But the 32-year-old Beowulf star explained Shiloh's resemblance to her father which set her apart from her siblings.

Angelina told Look magazine: "She looks like Brad. It's funny because she's almost going to be the outcast in the family because she's blonde and blue-eyed."

Jolie also admitted she would have been happy not to have a biological child.

But she changed her mind after seeing Brad with Zahara and Maddox after bringing her to the U.S. from Ethiopia.

She said: "I saw Brad with her and Maddox, and I realised how much he loved them - and how a biological child would not in any way be a threat."
The actress said she felt a deep connection to her adopted children because of the pain they had endured in their young lives.

She added: "I felt so much more for Madd, Zahara and Pax because they were survivors.

"Shiloh seemed so privileged from the moment she was born.
"But I'm conscious that I have to make sure I don't ignore her needs, just because I think the others are more vulnerable."

But when asked if she was glad she'd had Shiloh, Angelina said she avoids singling out her biological child at the expense of her adopted children.
She said: "It was so lovely. But at the same time, the first time we saw a picture of Zahara before we met her we were both very emotional.

"It was different journeys but very similar feelings."

The source story has some photos and the reader's comments so far are encouraging:

Another victim of this typical Occidental self-hating disease, how we call it? Xenophilia?

[Marcus Marulus]

The saddest thing is that many people take ramblings of such celebrities for some words of "life wisdom".

[Agrippa]

Jolie ist not just a victim of the occidental disease, but seems to suffer from psychological malfunctions in various ways, which go much beyond the current socioculturally caused defects especially in the new-prominent-popcultural white classes.

That is true, they take them as the model to follow and even polititians might call these celebrities to suppot their agendas. As far as i'm concerned, Even Jean Claude Van damme sounds wiser to my ears

Celebrities are hypocrites and have no words of wisdom to give to people./ Basically they are the same as politicians.

Adopting children with African and Asian background was not enough. She's working at Hollywood.

Shiloh is no doubt going to need thearpy when she get older. Even if her mother doesn't tell her out right she will sooner or later come across things like this.

I hope she will keep moderate and shall try to avoid Stormfront ... with such a mother it would be pretty natural ...

Speaking seriously, she either will become a meek suffragette for anti-europeanism or will turn a strong nationalist of well provided with character.

[Exeter]

Where in Europe or even the old Europid world as a whole do you find similar looking people? Like nowhere? She must be partly Amerind.

father:


mother:

On her father's side, she is of Slovak and German descent, and on her mother's side she is French Canadian and is said to be part Iroquois, although Bertrand's alleged Native American ancestry was once disputed by Voight.

[Agrippa]

In Czechs you find similar variants quite often I'd say, you can contribute it to Eastbaltid and part-Mongoloid influences rather probably, though she is overall quite Europid with no significant deviations but exaggerated single details which could be considered individual variation.

Her mother and father look both Europid, with the father having Osteuropid/Eastbaltid influences.

There is a reason why actors and such people were traditionally viewed as "undesirables" in society.
Only in today's topsy-turvy world would they held up as role-models.

Yes, and it's worth mentioning how very recent this is. I think the business of treating entertainers like community leaders is only about forty years old.

When society turns into a circus, it is only logical to have clowns as the spokemen and spokeswomen.
