Finally, an issue that I am passionate about. I have looked for information of this caliber for the last several hours. Your site is greatly appreciated.
looking at her dad now I think its her dad’s that mixed he reminds me of my dad.My dad’s parents were both mixed race.
Euro genes are not always recessive, total mythology….it all rests in how the letters/alelles align, which is random.
e.g I belong to 23andme.com which allows me to see what sort of children I would produce when my genome was combined with another users i compared myself to eight users – most european,one asian,one nigerian et all all gave a probablity of 20-32% or so for blue eyes based on markers I had, but when I compared with one dark african american guy it surged to 67% chance of blue eyes simply because he had the marker TT sitting in his dna.
I have aunts that look like her mum and their mother [my nan] was a mulatto,their father was mixed.
She has more african features than me[super curly hair,lge lips,mouth] and i’m a quadroon.
I heard sumwhere $he was Native American
I first saw her in ‘Beverley Hills 90210’ and thought she was a very light skinned mixed raced girl or part Hispanic. I think it’s her hair, when it’s straight she looks like your typical white girl, but when it’s curly she kind of looks more mixed raced. I don’t know if anybody else out there will agree, but from some angles she reminds me of Jessica Alba. I guess that’s why I thought she was Hispanic too?!
