The only way to know if a person is 100 percent is through DNA testing You can’t just say “100 percent European” without that. Also, she wouldn’t look like that if she was 100 percent European. You are what you look like for a reason.
judging people according to their appearance doesn’t make any sense, genotype doesn’t equal to phenotype, look at this american woman, she looks mixed but she is 100% European

@passingtime85 my bro, I won’t grind my axe or anything of that matter, I know that Scandinavians and eastern europeans have siberian ancestry, and you could easily find many europeans people who have physical characteristics related to east asians, it is not my point at all, my point is this woman her genealogy clearly states that she has just european heritage but her european heritage may be have ancient siberian or north african heritage that is why she looks like that, and you know Bjork, all people think that Bjork looks asian but indeed she is just european but she looks like that because of her ancient siberian ancestry from her scandinavian side
I hear you and that makes sense. Thanks for explaining.
@passingtime85 my bro, I don’t know why all the time you repeat this stuff again??!, I know that Europeans are mixed they don’t have one look or one phenotype, Russians and finns don’t look like italians and albanians, all Europeans look different from each other, the problem that there are people here who have stereotypes about how Europeans look, and that is why they think that dora is not european despite her clear genealogy
“Europeans are mostly homogenous, large swaths have filtered out most traces of foreign phenotypical traits, but there’s pockets that haven’t. That doesn’t erase the fact there’s clines that represent the majority. You still don’t address principle components.”
Homogenous phenotypically ??!, if you meen that, sorry, it is not true at all, southern europeans don’t have the same phenotype as some one from Scandinavia or from finland or Russia or eastern europe, not all European have the same kind of nose shape or even skin tone or facial features, there are europeans with high cheekbones, and others with low cheekbones, there are Europeans with very high nasal bridge and others with low nasal bridge etc, but genetically yes, all people indeed share the vast majority of genetic material but phenotypically they are diverse in all kind of shapes
I think that her Dark ”tone” came from her French Ancestors ( Amyx is probably a Southern French Name) I saw some French Girls who have similarities with her.
She looks mixed-race and not French in the slightest.
Amyx line traces back to Germany.
Amyx is a 100% French Name

She does not look like Mestizo or Mulatto to me , she looks south european , maybe with a little North African touch and yes I see many girls from France who look like her.
Her Amyx line traces back to Germany, and was spelled “Amicks” way back: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Amyx-12
No ethnic French person or from anywhere in Europe look like that so stop making silly theories.
I have to agree here she doens’t look french in the slightest nor southern European, not even “mixed” southern Europeans (ancient mixes) look like her at all, she looks like she could be the child of a mix race couple
Still say she looks like she could be from the Balkan.
you say “Balkans” as if the genetics in the Balkans were homogeneous, people in Croatia don’t look the same as Greece or Albania, I honestly don’t know much about the specific Balkan ethnicities but I know as much as that, the don’t all look the same
She looks like she has a west Asian influence, hence to me she looks like she could be from one of the Balkan states.
Anthony, Amyx and probably Elder are German lines: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/pedigree/landscape/G9YQ-Y51
There is also Scots-Irish. And Belgian and Dutch
She could pass mixed race or Southern European. I find it weird she’s not Southern European at all, but genetics do what they want sometimes.
She would not pass in Southern Europe, she looks North African or biracial (black/white)
Some Southern Europeans have North African ancestry… Also people have said what you say about Dora about Alessia Cara & Rita Ora who are both Southern Europeans.
Some Southern Europeans have Middle Eastern ancestry as well btw. Not saying all Southern Europeans have admixture though some do, some don’t. Many have their dna tests online.
@coco
She does not look “Southern European” (or North African as someone suggested) at all, she looks mixed race.
Have you not seen Alessia Cara or Rita Ora?
Poor examples, both very atypical.
Not to drag this on but I personally have seen Southern Europeans AND mixed race (black/white) people look like Dora, Alessia & Rita. At the end of the day people have different opinions on racially ambiguous people. That’s why they’re called racially ambiguous in the first place.
I still say she could pass for a woman from the Balkans =P

“She looks mixed-race and not French in the slightest.”
these women from balkan (Albania), they are albanians not mixed

and north africans are also mixed they are not pure race at all
Nothing to do with Burge.
@andrew
“Nothing to do with Burge.”
they look mixed and indeed the balkan region is very mixed, you could easily find people in balkan who have pesdo-asian or Turkish appearance, and what about this american woman, she looks mixed but she is 100% European

The first woman has strabism and exotifies herself, is she 100% natural? We can’t know. The second one is in the same mould about exoticness but has a more mainstream SE Euro look (some would argue she is a gypsy, bit her parents are def.not).
Anyway, Burge possesses a New World look that does not fit with her apparently known background. It’s common sense.
She doesn’t look pure European either Nobody said North Africans were pure race. They said she looks mixed race like black and white and she does.
what about this american woman, she looks mixed but she is 100% European
