Tom Jones for example.
he’s partially Welsh
She may look like she has some native or asian ancestry too. But not according to her listed ethnic groups. All European.
Native American/Siberian belong to the Mongolian race/group so they’re Asian. (Proto-Asian) Europeans are closely related to Middle Eastern people, North Africans and other Asians, very possible she has Asian ancestry as all Europeans do…
Mongoloid*
Doesn’t she has some type of disorder or health issue? To be she looks mestiza or southern European…
Gaelic? – no Irish person looks like that. Give an example of these “Gaelic” people.
“No Irish person looks like that” good joke those who are dark-haired have a stronger Celtic heritage, the Irish aren’t “red-haired” that’s a myth.
Those dark Gaelic roots sure come through in her look but I can also see the Dutch and German in the roundness of her face.
