She looks white
Yes one thing I am glad is that she does not hide her BLACK roots and her black dad in the closet like some other white looking stars, ex. Vin Diesel. Many half black white mixed people DO turn out looking medditaranean Greek, Portguese, Italian looking whites. Her black dad is very good looking too.
Her dad is mixed, and the celebrities you listed are mostly white. If Beyonce and Rihanna are expected to hide their white side, why are mostly white celebrities supposed to claim their black side?
