She can pass for a french person pretty easily! Especially southern french her look is quite typical for a southern French person, and sometimes even in the northernmost parts of France there are people who look like her. She can probably pass for a German or Brit too, believe it!! As fro hispanic, yeah hispanics can look like anything white, brown, yellow, or black! SO yeah she can pass as a hispanic.

I’m Cajun from Louisiana, and let me tell you, if you go to France, there are French people of her color. Some French are tan, some are fair, some have dark hair, some have light hair. She is French descent. She is a white woman. No wonder many people say us Americans are dumb, many of my countrymen can’t even accept the idea that not all Europeans look like British. Much of Europe is tan with dark hair. My fellow Americans, try reading educational things online instead of Facebook. Half of Europe looks like this woman, but my fellow Americans think you have to look like a German to be “white”. Heck, even some southern Germans look like this. Education people.

How are you stating that she is Hispanic or Latin when it CLEARLY reads that she is Cajun? Her backgrounds go back to places in France where when people migrated here, they mixed and made a whole new ethnicity. I dont see why some people have a problem with the fact that race is a color palate.

You are mistaken.Many Germans have dark hair and dark eyes just like this woman.You are thinking in stereotypes.I have seen Irish people with jet black hair and eyes and not exactly pale in complexion.”white” people are not one set type.They range from peaches and cream to tan skin,from blond to black hair, and from blue eyes to black eyes.Even hilter who was supposed to be of “the german race” had dark black hair,not the stereotypical blonde.Go to Germany.More people have brown and black hair than blonde
