    She’s rather exotic looking. I’m surprised to see that she’s Anglo-Celtic, let alone a full one. I always thought that she was a typical Latino mix (Spanish, native American, etc) or biracial (white/Asian).

    Anyway, I doubt that she’s just English anyway. I’d wager that she has recent native or Asian heritage. I mean, look at her here, that’s not an English look: https://pmcdeadline2.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/jennifercarpenter1.png?w=446&h=299&crop=1

      No, she is not mixed or bi-racial. She has those European “hooded eyes” not Asian Monolid eyes that you’re confusing them for.

      Big difference: https://imgur.com/a/IgoSSjj

      She looks what she is. 100% White.

      Europe is a continent with variety like any other. Try traveling more and your conception of what a person of European ancestry looks like will broaden a lot. You’ll also realize that most Latinos on TV are predominately white. Basically, some Latinos look similar to her BECAUSE they have European ancestry, perhaps even Anglo ancestry.
