Also, while Lebanon may be considered part of Asia by some, Middle Easterners are considered "White" according to the US Census (and other categorizations).

But drives home the point that race, boundaries, etc are just human constructs, and people make their definitions drawn on little more than personal opinion.

Wikipedia article on Amal Alamuddin wrote:
Career
---------
Alamuddin worked at Sullivan & Cromwell in New York City for three years as part of the Criminal Defense and Investigations Group, which included the criminal probe of Enron and Arthur Andersen.[16][19]

She worked in the Office of the Prosecutor at the UN Special Tribunal for Lebanon and at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.[23] She has been involved in high-profile cases representing the state of Cambodia, the former Libyan intelligence chief Abdallah Al Senussi, Yulia Tymoshenko and Julian Assange, and is an adviser to the King of Bahrain in connection with the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry headed by Professor M. Cherif Bassiouni.[19]

Alamuddin returned to the UK in 2010,[24] where she is a barrister in London (Bar of England & Wales, Inner Temple) at Doughty Street Chambers.[16]

In 2013, Alamuddin has been appointed to a number of United Nations commissions including as adviser to Special Envoy Kofi Annan on Syria and as Counsel to the 2013 Drone Inquiry by UN human rights rapporteur Ben Emmerson QC into the use of drones in counter-terrorism operations.[20][25][26]

In May 2014, Alamuddin met with Foreign Secretary William Hague and a group of leading female campaigners "to discuss how to drive forward international action to protect children in conflict zones from rape and sexual violence" before the June 2014 Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict in London, part of the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative launched by the Foreign Secretary in 2012, which is aimed at strengthening international efforts to respond to sexual violence in conflict zones. Alamuddin is a member of the multidisciplinary Team of Experts established on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.[27]

In August 2014, Alamuddin was selected for the U.N.'s three-member commission to look into possible violations of the rules of war in Gaza during the Israel–Gaza conflict. She however said she was unable to accept the position. She stated "There are various reports published today stating that I have been appointed as one of three members of the UN Commission of Inquiry for Gaza. I am horrified by the situation in the occupied Gaza Strip, particularly the civilian casualties that have been caused, and strongly believe that there should be an independent investigation and accountability for crimes that have been committed."[28]

Alamuddin has lectured students on international criminal law at SOAS (University of London), The New School in New York City, The Hague Academy of International Law, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.[19]

She’s young, attractive, has a working vagina, and despises the opulent West while still attending its swank parties and wearing designer clothes. A leftist intellectual doesn’t seem like your classic Clooney low maintenance girlfriend, but if George dons the Keffiyeh and talks about making babies that will grow up in a world without Zionist oppression, Amal will have her Grand Canal open for business more often than not.

Looks like some are bothered that he did not marry a white woman.

Get used to it ......... it is a trend though more often it is Asian women.

Maybe she wanted a big shebang, but it seems like such an about-face for a guy who always said he never wanted to marry. Maybe she just knocked his socks off and he has stars in his eyes. Wishing them happiness - I love GC, he's the closest to Carey Grant we've ever had.

I think he met his match in Amal! She probably just laid it out for him that she would demand a ring. Either that or he realized on his own it was the only way to keep her. I've heard that Hollywood/LA is fully of very dumb people who are just very good at their one media skill. So he'id probably never met a woman who was both beautiful and brilliant before, plus very cultured. I think her work as a human rights lawyer probably also made her as big a star in George's eyes as he is to hers. George seems to be really quite dedicated to his human rights work.

As for announcing the ceremony, they probably just figured it would be easier to manage if they knew what to prepare for in terms of publicity.

puh-lease. she is just a socialite with a law degree.

Hardly!! She may be a socialite, but being a socialite alone does not get you to Oxford, nyu law, Sidley Austin, then assigned to high profile human rights cases. She is the real deal, way out of george's league.

Actually it does. anyway, What was the last case she worked on? She sure has lots of spare time for a busy professional.

Lots of socialites like this in NYC and London. They go to Ivy or similar schools, get a law degree at a top 14 school, practice for a short time and then quit to pursue other interests like being a socialite which basically means they dress up and attend fundraisers.

But she did three years at Sidley, worked for a number international tribunals, and now is a barrister at a cutting edge human rights litigation boutique. And she is 36 so hardly seemed like she was just looking for a husband. Being from a rich family probably helped her, but she has a distinguished career on her own merits.

Perhaps she could have had a career. perhaps. But she doesn't.
