There’s no way she’s just white. Her mother probably cheated.
She is definitely a person of color.
@fuzzybear
Do you think this woman is fully white?
Fuzzybear gimme your feedback.
What a weighted question… Who and or what exactly is “white”? What are the characteristics and bullet points one must have or hit to be labeled white?
My two cents says that without looking at the genealogy she looks like she could be mestizo or possibly have African admixture. With knowing her background she’s Caucasian, but still looks more to have roots in the Mediterranean or middle east rather than West Europe.
She’s more unique looking, more than classically “white”. If the genealogy is correct she’s white, but honestly she doesn’t look it… DNA test when?
does not look fully Caucasian (including Middle East and let alone the Mediterranean area) whatsoever, rather part Asian and/or African.
Some Southern Europeans look like her though, some look even more “ethnic” than her. It’s weird but evolution does what it wants. If her genealogy is correct she’s white as she’s said.
No Southern European person has such eyes and facial features.
But since they casted Roma Maffia who is part Trinidadian to play Italian roles, I get the brainwashing.
No Southern European, at all, including all the Balkan countries look like her? No one in Kosovo or Croatia or Albania or any of the rest of those countries, there’s simply no women that look that way? That seems highly unlikely.

I doubt it.
Middle eastern could look like that they are not white, Caucasian is a myth, race doesn’t exist

“does not look fully Caucasian (including Middle East and let alone the Mediterranean area) whatsoever, rather part Asian and/or African.”
then according to your criteria the vast majority of eastern europeans and Scandinavians and finns are not Caucasians because they have siberian ancestry, read those scientific research

Rita Ora is Southern European & has a similar look to her eyes & facial features… many more too.
She has darker skin in this picture : https://media.gettyimages.com/photos/actress-dora-madison-attends-a-premiere-party-for-nbcs-chicago-fire-picture-id496451788?s=612×612
She would not be safe in some parts of the Balkans
I wouldn’t use Rita Ora as a reference. She doesn’t look like her family or siblings. She’s anomalous and I wouldn’t be surprised if she was adopted or was mixed up at the hospital or had a different father than her siblings. She has an odd look.
Agree.
all people are mixed there is no pure race at all

maternal grandfather’s genealogy – https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/68424771/william-bruce-anthony
I’ve found some Irish ancestors on her maternal side. On her father’s side, she is a descendant of Adeline Victoria (Nelson) Henley, whose father was apparently Swedish, and of the French-born couple Jacques Bilbo/Bilbaud and Susannah DuToit. Susannah’s ancestors were from Moudon, Vaud, Switzerland.
From what I’ve seen, all of her recent ancestors were listed as white on U.S. Censuses.

woman of color
Totally agree. I was watching her in a movie today and thought she was mixed.
she is indeed
Probably not. This is her brother:

Does he look like a man of colour?
it looks like a multiracial family to me: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq2rpmggySy/
She definitely does look of color but her family does not look multiracial at all lol sometimes people see stuff that isn’t there simply because of one black sheep of the family
Well if you put persons of color in one family you make it multiracial, the pic is poor anyway to be sure.
