Since people don’t distinguish how black an “African American” is, her father could easily be mixed race himself. Quincy Jones is more mixed than his daughters, yet he’s just called black, but for some reason, his daughters are call mixed. This girl is mostly white no doubt.
But hes not tho…He has two Black parents and grandparents. Shes most likely 40%-48% black. She favors her mom alot though.
Looks quarter black and with straight hair looks eighth black imo. Considering how white she looks I think her father can’t have been more then 75 percent Sub Saharan African. 75 percent at most and then there must have been some english blood there.
With the natural hair I could tell she’s part black but with the straight hair she looks just white. It’s weird.
I can see that too.
he doesnt look white at all with straight hair. I dont know what country in Europe that has girls that look like that.
Looks white
She’s mixed
She could pass for with straight hair. Not naturally, though.
She’s cute. Could pass as Moroccan or Algerian.
