She’s WHITE!
She has cousins of mixed race but she herself is white..both her parents are white.
A lot of people from Newcastle (her hometown) have jet black hair and lightish eyes.
I’m not from the UK but aren’t people of Mexican or South American descent uncommon? Just something to think about for those of you quick to call Cheryl Mexican lol.
I’m British and Mexicans and other S.A. are he not common.. you can’t find even one family of that
here** mistake sorry
you will be suprised that she probably has some sort of other ethnicity in her: black, hispanic etc..because she cant be just white(even if her parent are) she might have some mxied blood somewhere
Why does she have to be mixed? Why can’t she be just white?
Hispanic as in Spaniard, means someone from the Iberian Peninsula or it been used to denote the culture and people of countries formerly ruled by Spain, usually with a majority of the population speaking the Spanish language.
If you mean someone from Spain, then no she is still white. Because people from Spain are white (european) and if you want to go far back and say they’re mixed with black ( from hundreds of years ago) well we’re all technically black.
Also if you meant latina, then maybe. But someone can have dark features and be just white. Hello she’s from England! Brown hair brown eyes, or even darker features, are known there.
We need to broaden our horizons in my opinion.
I’m British.. and Hispanic in Britain..? haha something like that don’t exist here neither anywhere else in Europe! even Spaniards themselves don’t call them like that..! they are White..! and most Hispanics are also White it’s just a culture! 77% or 80% or 87% I’m not sure I read it on Wikipedia.. are White..! and real Hispanics are White those others just came from another country..! and yeah people in Europe are White.. ask someone from Europe what is Hispanic.. s/he will say “what? have no idea” yeah I’m too but I know because I’m a fan of Mario Lopez xD.. she is Scottish and Irish.. and White people are the Universal ones that means all hair and eye colours are common and blue and blonde is only possible by Whites.. but most Whites are Brunette and brown eyed, and Mediterranean are also White..! she is White get over it.. you are jealous cause so beautiful ppl are not in your race! DUH
Thank you for explaining this to a bunch of ignorant people. I am American but my family is Colombian and we are all white. We have members in our family who have very light “english rose” type skin to very olive toned skin and there are lights eyes and dark eyes in our family.
I always knew that the term “hispanic” was mainly only used in America
I really do believe that here they are trying to make HISPANIC a race because a lot of politicians are still closeted white supremacists who belong to the KKK and believe that ANYONE who doesn’t have FAIR SKIN is automatically a different race.
And just because I say I’m white doesn’t mean I’m racist. – I’ve gotten that stupid comment before.
I didn’t know people from LATIN AMERICA were all of a sudden a DIFFERENT race.
LATIN AMERICA is NOT a race. Good God.
