He was of English and Welsh descent.
Monica has also stated:
I talked to my mom after visiting the Alamo once. She told me about how her textbooks portrayed the Battle of the Alamo with courageous Texans standing their ground while the savage Mexicans scrambled up the side of a wall. This among other stories she’d told me of being judged and questioned about her skin color and facial features, and her mother – who wore the finest jewelry and brands at all times so as not to have her worth questioned – being called out for her unmistakeable accent.

don’t look mexican at all, she could easily pass for a portuguese woman.
“don’t look mexican”, you mean don’t look native, because there is no such stupid thing as “looking mexican”, you are brazilian and you don’t look brazilian if looking brazilian means “pardo”
