    Rightnow, come on.. whites have brown skin and don’t even look white.. the Jersey shore has some that don’t look white.. but they are italian and that is white. I am white, but yet I don’t look like it much, but when I talk to other race friends. they know without asking. I have not even told or shown any that I am. but who cares if she is or not; people like her for the personality not anything else.

    I call cop-out on her mother’s heritage.

    English surnames have been taken on by every ethnic group in the USA.

    I never would of thought she was part Panamanian… but it’s probably white Panamanian of Spanish descent or other European.
