Hold The Eff Up! The Black Twins on the Kardashians are Iranian?

[froggle]

All the media buzz about Kim Kardashian’s pregnancy led me to thinking about the Kardashian sisters and their circles. Then I remembered the beautiful black twin actresses Malika and Khadijah Haqq. If their last name Haqq didn’t get you thinking about it’s origins, then maybe you thought they were just rich, pretty black girls who grew up with the Kardashians. From what I understand, they appeared on Khloe’s reality show. I have never watched the show and only know from media reports. Turns out that Malika and Khadijah Haqq are Afro-Iranians. They are not part of a biracial union. These young women are 100% Iranian or Persian by blood if you will. But being born in America, they are actually Americans.

Malika and Khadijah Haqq’s parents are immigrants from Khuzestan, Iran. Most Afro-Iranians are Iranians of Sub-Saharan African descent. They are found mainly in the Iranian cities of Khuzestan, Sistan, Hormozagan and Baluchestan. According to research done by Dash Harris and James Daniel Lopez, the Indian Ocean slave trade was the portal through which ancestors of most present day Afro-Iranians arrived. Arabs captured and sold enslaved people to the Persian Gulf, Egypt, Arabia, the Far East, the Indian Ocean islands, Ethiopia and Somalia.

How they escaped being a part of some harem is the real question.

Generalizing for me...since I'm latino, I find latina women to be beautiful...and then persian/arab/indian women.

Yes, women are beautiful from all over, though.
