It’s funny how when it comes to how much black a barely looking white celeb have in them this site put the percentage. but it remains unnecessary when they name off how much European descent a person have. I remember me and my sister was debating what she was while watching Gossip Girl because her hair was kinky aka coarse and she gets perms.
She Looks Puerto Rican
Puerto rican is not a race.
Puerto Ricans, on average are 25% Sub-Saharan African like Jessica. Of course, you will have some that are more or less black than that, more or less white, balanced triracials of European, African, and Native American descent, etc. Puerto Ricans vary, but the lot of them usually fall in the Quadroon-Octoroon range when it comes their Sub-Saharan African ancestry.
She is not black.
She is of Black-American ancestry. And thus, can consider herself Black. A 100 year ago, she would have had no choice but label herself as either Black or Mulatto or risk prosecution if they found out she wasn’t fully white and passing.
i knew she was mixed with black. she’s pretty as fk
She is dating that Saudi Arabian-looking Italian actor from Skins, Luke Pasqualino. First Ed Westwick and now Luke? She must love European men.
she has a bad taste.
I don’t think they are attractive either.
I saw the trash movie “Piranha”, she formed a beautiful couple with Steven R. McQueen.
He is definitely handsome, and she would look better with him.
agreed.
Ed is alright. Luke is ugly af though!
she definitely looks better with Jason Lewis, he is a beautiful white man

Yes! White American men look better than white European men. It’s probably because they’re all mutts like Brad Pitt, who has a little bit of Cherokee in him.
;]
you’re totally right
LMFAO and why did you have to mention that he’s a beautiful WHITE MAN? Last time I checked beauty comes in all races, racist prick.
Wow,this Minghella part looks arab too.
*looks part arab too
I I’ve seen half-Indian and half-Arab people that looks like Luke Pasqualino
That depends on taste, these boys certainly don’t attract me.
Well, that’s a tough question, I would say that Jesse Metcalfe is a handsome half Italian man .
Minghella is not ugly, but these other skinny guys with effeminate face, definitely not appealing to me, as Alex Pettyfer, Hayden Christensen and the boys of the “one direction” and “the wanted”.
