I honestly thought she was Native American.
She’s a more European-looking Eurasian, but she’s still visibly mixed.
Another white-passing Euro-Asian like Kristin Kreuk and Jennifer Tilly. I can kind of see the Asian in her, but she looks predominately white to me.
Nope. At first look I was like “she must have Asian in her” and I was right.
Beautiful woman though.
She’s clearly mix with Asian, with her eyes and skin tone. She’s beautiful but clearly she is not all European, not with eyes like that and her nose. She may identify more with her European side however. Never seen her with an Asian man. Only white men.
she is fugly,i googled her and she is so vulgar
