Ethnic, no offense, but this site is a joke. Comments that are not controversial at all are not being shown because ignorant people are thumbing down comments for the sake of thumbing them down. For example, it is fact that Spaniards are European. Why was that comment thumbed down? Why is it not being shown? For instance, it is fact that Phoebe Tonkin is Australian and not mixed with Native American. Why is that comment not shown? It is fact that Tom Welling said he may POSSIBLY have Native heritage and that Swayze’s Apache ancestry is a rumor. Why are these comments not being shown when they are simply comments that correct false information?
Quit being lazy and moderate the comments yourself. I am tired of not being able to express myself because most of the visitors on this site are racist, ignorant, and uneducated. Not to mention, they choose to be that way!
I’ve just posted the same somewhere else. What is wrong with wanting the correct information? I’ve also had the same treatment with the thumbs down and I’m not even sure what I’ve said that people took so negatively. If I’m incorrect I’ve got no problems with someone disagreeing and posting a source. I’ve got no hidden agendas as I think there are beautiful people of all ethnicities.
On topic Sarah Hyland is a stunning young lady.
Yes. They thumb you down for correcting false information. It is so stupid.

Im sure there will be a comment about how she is not just European but mixed with either Black Hispanic or Asian because she is pretty and wear a tan by certain people on this site i will be waiting for it..And yes she gorgeous and a good actress.
