Cajun are the descendants f french but for me she look a like a mestizo(a mixture of spanish and red indian)
Beautiful, stunning.
She looks to have Native
Really?? she does not look native at allllll! Native have that certain wrinkled, wide look. And also, a person that is brunette, brown eyes, and olive skin are not only native, but caucasian, and asian. Italians, I am, Spaniards, Belgiums, and Frenches are Caucasian and somewhat the same. Anyhow, She looks french, acts french, and lives french-american. Ya can see such!
“native have that certain wrinkled, wide look” Only the old ones. “wide look” Not all.
I agree! She looks a bit like Shania Twain who is half Native on her dad’s side, so yeah I definitely see American Indian in her.
Shania Twain’s stepdad was the one who was Native, not her dad. Shania has no traceable Native ancestry, although she is 1/8th French.
“Justify” can’t seem to get ethnicity’s right.
she does look native american
So generally Cajuns r descendants of French Canadians?
Why is she being condemned for her ethnicity God is the one who gave her to her parents. Oh and hispanics are in the caucasian race. She is beautiful!
