she looks welsh to me :) well welsh and irish lol
She never clarifies her dark kinky hair and dark eyes and that is because she is part Romany, Gypsy and is ashamed.
Id like to see some evidence of that!
your just a bitch
what the hell is wrong with you all.! Whites are not Blondies and Blue eyed people.. Whites are the Universal race..(that means all hair and eyes colours are common) and dark hair and eyes are maybe more common then blond and blue.! so go drink milk and go to sleep.! Gypsy? and what happened when you woke up? you are probably one so you want her in your “race”.. BYE
I mean not only Blondies and Blue eyed people xD sorry mistake
Ashamed to be roman??? Fuck you!! You’re ignorant!!
I could have sworn she was that native new zealander race. I’m not sure what they call them?
I think you mean Maori? i wouldnt think so though
Are you sure she is not part Greek?, i heard something about it, she has to have some non Irish-Welsh origin, she doesn`t look from there at all.
NAA.. SHE’S JUST WELSH AND IRISH. SOME OF THEM HAVE DARK FEATURES.. THAT’S WHY. LOLZ.! =D
True.
this is because of spaniards invading ireland and interbreeding with them.
Could she be of what has long been refered to as “Black Irish” ancestry?
“Black Irish” doesn’t mean African Irish.. that means White people from Ireland with dark hair colour and eye colour or dark hair and blue/ green eyes.. so as she is White she is probably party “Black Irish” :)
@me:they have change the definition of that phrase so many time s,you have no idea what it means now.However Ireland was invaded by Africans who did their thing there.
Oh my God.
I am Irish. I live in Ireland. This whole “Black Irish” thing is utter bull, to be honest.
How can you tell, from someone’s looks, what ethnic group they are? Really?
I’ve heard so many descriptions about “Black Irish” and they’re all vastly different.
What about an Irish person with green eyes and ginger hair? Or blonde hair and blue eyes? Or red hair and brown eyes? Or blonde and green eyes? Do they all get new names too?
It’s just a bunch of stupid stereotyping. If you went up to an Irish person who had “dark hair and eyes with pale skin” and told them they were “Black Irish” they’d more than likely give you a look as if to say “what is this person talking about?” or probably laugh at you for thinking you know more about them than they do.
Black Irish is an Americanism. It’s also stupid. (:
@Wtf – Really? Africans invaded Ireland?? I’ve never read anything about this in Irish history or heard about it from any reputable historian. If there was some African dna in Ireland believe me we would all know about it as Irish genetics have been studied quite a bit. In every European population (even Scandinavia) there are dark eyed and dark haired people with olive skin. In the British Isles there are brunets, blonds and redheads all native to those countries.
She looks like Michael Jackson in that picture,LOL.
