She looks like what we would call “morena clara” here in Brazil, indians generally look a lot like multiracial brazilians, and half indian, half white people generally look like brazilians who are mostly white with some non-white features and strong olive complexion, like these girl, are called “morena clara”(light brown), but there are places here where she would be white passing.
*like this girl
She looks like Jessica Alba. Both are beautiful Latinas.
You’re weird.
She’s not “Latina” and Alba is a mile better looking.
Her father has Saudi Arabian citizenship, but is of Indian descent.

I know Summer’s family personally and her father is Saudi Arabian born in Mecca and attended school there until he graduated from high school. His parents are of Indian and Arab decent, they are not expat Indians working there. All her father’s family live in Saudi Arabia and are Saudi citizens. None have even traveled to India. Summers mother’s family has been in the U.S. since the 1700’s all this is documented. So anonymous1 I won’t call you a moron but get your information straight.
