why do all these asian and white mixed people turn out looking mexican? she looks hispanic.
It’s no wonder because Mexicans or Native Americans they carry both Asian and European genes I mean being exactly not genes but face features which was caused by this merciless nature it’s logical when e.g. Englishman and Chinese woman mix they get latinoamerican “kid-face”)))It’s an axiom, unfortunately)))
There is not something like looking hispanic.If that would be the case,it would not be a indigenous descent but a 100% Spanish white person
People are so ignorant aren’t they? People can look asian and white. Black and white, native and white but no one can look Hispanic. Hispanic only means spanish speaking…
@WTF very uneducated statement you have made. Mexican is not a race. Mexicans are a combination of white, indian, and African peoples. They mixed to create Mexicans and modern day Mexico. There are three main distinct racial categories only, white, black and indian/asian. Evry other country is a mixture. Arab and hispanic are not races. Hispanic is a language and Arab is an organized religeon and a a way of life.
correction
She is welsh, norweigian, english, irish, scottish, native american, and possibly remote african
I’m sorry but shes very ugly, should not be a model!
Half white?? She looks straight up Thai. Asian genes sure are strong.
… have you ever been to thailand?
Very strong)) ugliness always dominates over beauty))) OMG this’s devil’s world))Moreover, those Asians Are so fertile and baby-obsessed that it’s no wonder if in 60-70 years we will have once race:: eurasianafrican)))
That’s already the case for 60% of the world….
correction; her eyes are hazel (light brown) and her hair is dark brown (brunette) I think it should be listed
