Isabel dos Santos

Hi. The article already says in the infobox that she has Russian nationality. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 00:18, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cultural identity vs citizenship/ nationality

Hi 71.58.88.221. A person and citizenship/ nationality are two different things. Mariah Carey is an American singer - if she wants to, she can apply for citizenship/ nationality of — let's say — France. That does not mean that henceforth she will be referred to or known as a "French singer". Yes, she will have French nationality/ citizenship, but she does not overnight become a Frenchwoman. Unlike Musk that you are using as comparison, dos Santos made her name in Angola, growing as a businessperson in Luanda on a local scale, then projecting onto the national stage and finally investing in overseas companies, mainly in Portugal. What are her ties to Russia, other than a piece of paper and now recent news of her shareholding in Russian companies? And let's not forget her much older hareholding in Portuguese comapanies - did anyone ever refer to her as a Portuguese businesswoman?

The Mariah Carey example is completely irrelevant and, frankly, absurd. Why are you using hypotheticals when I just presented you with an actual example in Elon Musk. There is also Carlos Ghosn (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Ghosn), another entrepreneur, whose Wikipedia page EXPLICITLY presents all of his affiliations whether it be nationality or citizenship, it is all presented there right in the top of his page: the nationality vs citizenship "argument" doesn't fit, try again. Why would anyone refer to Ms. Dos Santos as Portuguese just because she holds shares in Portuguese companies? That is NOT the same as holding a Russian PASSPORT, doesn't matter how you spin it my friend. Do you realize how difficult it is to do business overseas using an Angolan passport? Her Russian passport is of utmost relevance and you have repeatedly shown a bias towards withholding Ms. Dos Santos this FACT.
