she looks fully white to me, i don’t see the native in her phenotype, could easily pass for full spanish ancestry
there’s something exotic in any pic of this woman I’ve seen, the answer is no.
well clearly she is mixed, but i’m just just saying she looks fully white, i’ve seen spanish women who look very similar to her and she has fine features, clearly her white side overpowered in her phenotype
She’s clearly mixed.
But then again, Jordana Brewster and Angie Harmon (who look like her) are full white. In comparison though, she is still more “Mestizo” in appearance.
correction:
her mother is Amerindian (wayuu) and her father is mestizo Venezuelan
but she somehow calls herself “half indian.” I guess she got the fractions mixed up
