she clearly has English heritage her mam and dad are not just scottish or irish
she is also english through her grandmother.
She’s not Mexican,so what just cuz you have tan skin and dark does make you hispanic,she’s probably of Celtic descent and the Celts are dark.Stop stereotyping all Brits as being pale.I’m half British half Arab and i get mistaken for an indian,armenian or Spaniard.In France (by the way i’m not french luckily) we thought she was Hispanic too but figured she must Celtic.Anyway George Clooney is of Irish,English and possibly German descent and i thought he was Italian,Hispanic,Greek or possibly half Indian.
I find it funny that people are saying she’s not British/Irish because she’s tanned and stuff.
Brown eyes and brown hair are the most common hair/eye colours.
She just has them.
And just because she was born in England, it doesn’t mean her family are English.
Her dad is Scottish, her mom is Irish.
That’s it.
Big deal she has brown hair brown eyes and doesn’t have pasty English rose type skin…so is this why she’s famous…like Catherine Zeta Jones…not all British are Anglo-Saxon and pink…she’s probably got some Norman/Celtic blood in her…if not Turkish…anyway she’s gorgeous!!!
Turkish.. what the fuck..? she is Irish and Scottish as you see..! tanned is also White
Me! – yeah, you. you annoy the shit out of me.
what the hell is wrong with turkish?
Lorraine, you’re ignorant if you think that TAN is a different race or that if you’re tan you’re automatically mixed with Black or Native
The truth of it is, if we all trace our ancestry/heritage down WE ALL HAVE BLACK.
But the main point of my reply is to let you know that you CAN BE TAN and STILL BE WHITE.
And people from South & Central America aren’t all MIXED – They’re actually all different races: WHITE, BLACK, NATIVE, ASIAN and of course the mixed ones MESTIZOS.
In fact, go look at any Spanish speaking soap opera you’ll see that the majority of the cast is WHITE.
“In fact, go look at any Spanish speaking soap opera you’ll see that the majority of the cast is WHITE. ”
that’s the problem in south america: only white women and men are seen as beautiful that’s why producers of south american films and series wants to have whites only, and if possible: blondes.
but this doesnt represent the real population but only the ideal of beaty in that region!
I couldn’t agree more. TAN isn’t a race.. it’s just something your skin does when your BODY PRODUCES MELANIN TO PROTECT YOU FROM SKIN CANCER.
The more melanin you produce, the darker you’ll be (90% of this happens when the skin is exposed to the sun; it’s the skins defense mechanism acting up to protect you from the suns’s rays)
Fair/Pale skinned people don’t TAN because they don’t PRODUCE enough melanin, thus burning their skin and being more at risk to get skin cancer.
