Her parents were Russian jews and had a black grandparent.
Pretty common among Russian Jews. Not a lot of people know that.
@follers
I always heard the rumors about Dinah black ancestry, but were you being sarcastic
I’m not Follers, but I can almost guarantee it was sarcasm.
Don’t be so presumptuous, passingtime85. It was clearly irony, not sarcasm.
Okay I was just asking , because last night I read this article where they have purposely been breeding out the afro-turks since the 1900’s in order to keep the turks white .So I had no idea if they practices that in Russia during Dinah lets say Grand parents time
Turks are not really “white”. They have some Mongoloid admixture and plenty of them look straight Middle Eastern.
then people where oblivioussss back in de day cause she did not look white ,..and they stated that she tried to keep secret that she is also black . Creole. you can so tell and her nose looks not white but asian ( commonly with mixed people )mine looks asian an latin haah
on some picture she even look a little bit like mariah carey and in this one just a lil like..jessica alba!

I feel dumb for responding to a nearly six year old post, but w/e.
Dinah Shore had a nose job, judging from various pics through her life, several. With her original nose, thinking that she had Sub-Saharan African ad-mixture wouldn’t be completely crazy.
