She is beautiful. The Filipino is very dominant. I would never have guessed she had AA.
Who the heck is she?
I Never Knew She Was Mixed I Thought She Was Fully African American or Puerto rican and African American
She looks fully African American??? Lmfao!!!!! Stop it.
You’re an idiot. How in god’s name are you going to contradict yourself by saying she looks “fully black” and then changing it to “black and Puerto Rican”? Cassie doesn’t look fully black, moron. I actually assumed she was Hawaiian when I first saw her. She used to be a catalog model, and I used to get the magazing “Alloy” in the mail. She was one of the models in there, I just thought she was a pretty Hawaiian girl.
