Wtf, Laurent is black!?

[Cortuso]

I was taken back.
Not that I have anything against black people.

But when I imagined Laurent he wasn't black.
He was average height, fair complexion, dirty blonde hair, no facial hair.

I was surprised too! I pictured Laurent as a person with pale, stone skin like edwards with shaggy black hair that covers some of his face.

I don't see why so many people are so suprised. In the book he's described as having black hair and olive toned skin..It's not so hard to think of him as being black..

Yeah!!! And some people actually thought Bella was Blonde (And I know why). People should pay more attention to the book.

LOLz . Referring to the title of this topic ..

" That's exactly what I said. "  

[YueSohma]

I'm kinda glad I'm not the only one who was surprised sweatdrop I really need to pay more attention to descriptions xp

It surprised me because Vampires are described as extremely pale. I guess Stephenie Meyers never explained what a black vampire would look like. It doesn't really bother me, though.
