pretty missy,she looks so young to be twenty one,
Everyone seems to think that white is the gold standard. So saying she is too pretty to be white doesn’t make sense.
she is mixed. she is too pretty to be white.
you are an idiot,and she is clearly white,she just j=has an olive complexion
yeah I’m just coming to look at celebrity’s ethnicity. This site has a strong biased and if you don’t follow that biased, you’re shunned, but saying they look one way or another isn’t going to change their race or ethnicityor how they identify themselves. Saying Angelina Jolie or Minka Kelly look mixed won’t make them mixed. That’s that
The comments aren’t even entertaining, just sad. Always someone trying to force them into being something they’re not or ignorant shit or arguing about if they’re white or not
Or worrying about if they got some distant non-white ancestry. Now that’s the even more sad part
The site itself is nice but the people who come to it are just pathetic
I honestly thought she must’ve had Russian or Ukrainian roots..guess not! Gorgeous girl either way.
Because she looks like Mila Kunis?
The only thing they have in common may be the eyes..She didn’t even come to mind honestly! :/
