She looks pretty hispanic…well check her pics before nose job, and she looks black also.
She looks hispanic but not black -.-
Yet, she is white! Lmao, some of the prettiest women in the world are “white” or European.
she/he was being sarcastic idiots
She looks British.. honestly those who say she looks Iberian.. she doesn’t at all. The resemblance is just seen by those with an untrained eye and little knowledge of Europeans. People just don’t realize there are many “Mediterranean looking” people in the UK/Ireland.
You’re an idiot. =)
she looks like a spaniard
It’s clear she is part Spanish (Northern R1b-S116 – Gaulish); likely originating from the southern European immigration into Wales, circa 1830-1890.
