Am I the only person who thinks she looks German (with a bit of a British twist).
Reminds me of Lena Meyer-Landrut but with blond hair.
In my first looking, she really have Asian eyes.
The shape of eyes of Asians is different to Caucasians.
Not only the shape of eyes but also other facial features in her face made me believe she have blood of mongoloid race.
I think it is reasinable if she have ancestors from Nordic countries, Russia or Baltic countries.
Consider the relation between Scandinavians and Finno-Ugric people.
Yakuts(90% Y-DNA haplogroup N1c) 100% mongoloid race.
Finns: 60% Y-DNA haplogroup N1c
Sami people 53% Y-DNA haplogroup N1c
(they live in north Sweden and Norway)
Russians: 23% Y-DNA haplogroup N1c
Swedes: 10% Y-DNA haplogroup N1c/Q
So, some Nordic people, Baltic people, Russians may inherit genes of Finno-Ugric people(mongoloid race) from Scandinavians/Russian/east European people.
Sami people still keep features of mongoloid race

She doesn’t have Asian ancestry lol. Northern Europeans usually have slanted eyes due to have low Neolithic genes from to middle East and higher North Eurasian which is Paleolithic. She just looks generic Northern European, could pass from Ireland to Russia.
having* the*
Overrated…
She isn’t Asian at all! Stop! she looks like the typical pretty American girl, she’s just wearing a lot of makeup in this bizarre picture they chose.
she looks ” asians” for them because Jlaw has hooded eyes and it is difficult to ser her double eyelid.Asians tend to have a single eyelided not double and extreme hooded eyes.But that doesn’t mean that white people can have hooded eyes,there are many celebrities in hollywood with that type of eyes.There are Asians who also have doble eyelid.
Would it be horrible if she was part Asian? You make it sound like it would be a crime.
She does look partly Asian btw.
she doesn’t look Asian in the slightest. She looks Northern European. Last sunday I was eating in a crepe restaurant next to a group of Chinese tourists (all girls), the overlap between Jennifer and any Asian person is close to 0.
just becaus she deosn’t blatantly look asian doesn’t mean he doesn’t have asian down the line.. she does not look northern european though.. she would fit in in the east like russia etc.
