She seems like romanian girls. For who doesnt know, romanian are latin too, and they have names like latin ppl too, (spanic, portuguese(brazilian), italian… But romanian girls dont see like central america or even italian or spanish girls.
Charmed!
Apparently she has anger management issues…. an Irish girl for sure!
:D
So true I am fair skinned hazel eyes and curly strawberry blonde and I am Hispanic!
I think you should look up her heritage on her mother’s side because her middle name is Maria and her mother’s name is Rosa. This suggests that she probbly has a Hispanic heritage as well.
Yeh besides she doesn´t look Irish, she looks like she have some Hispanic or native in her.
Stereotyping again I see. This kind of thing is sickening.
How does someone look Irish? We’re all so diverse, you know. As is every country in the world.
Take Ireland for example, we can be tall, small, slim, heavy, brown eyed, gray eyed, green eyed, blue eyed (most common) Have hair colours ranging from platinum blonde to fiery red to midnight black. We can be chalky white or olive skinned or tanned.
Grr. :P
Hispanic people aren’t all tanned and dark haired, either. I know a guy with Hispanic roots and he has red hair and gray eyes.
Not really. I think she looks like what she says she is.
I don’t think so. She difently looks Irish to me.
