Her bio father was probably a mgm African American or maybe part Afro-Latino too. I’d be very surprised if her bio father was say.. English descent. Her “black” mother looks mulatto.. Or in the very least tri racial with euro ancestry probably being the biggest part..
Dawson is an anglo-saxon surname, but when it comes to names, they don’t mean much in the United States. Rosario is an attractive hybrid of humanity, though.
She’s tri-racial.
Spanish, Native and West African.
“Spanish” is not a race you idiot. Spaniards are Caucasian.
Where I live most people would mistaken her for indian(theres not a lot of puerto ricans here)
Either way she’s hot!
What type of Indian? Do you mean South Asian Indian or Native American? I loved her playing an Afghan Scythian Princess, but she could never pass as a Afghan or Punjab, maybe South India which make up the majority of South Asians in America.
