Teri Hatcher is an American actress, writer, presenter, singer, and NFL cheerleader. She has starred on the series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman and Desperate Housewives, and in the film Tomorrow Never Dies.
Teri is the daughter of Esther (Beshur) and Owen Walker Hatcher. Her father was a many-generations American, and had English, and some Irish and Scottish, ancestry. Her maternal grandfather was from Syria, and her maternal grandmother was of Frisian background.
Teri is sometimes said to have some degree of Choctaw Native American ancestry. It is not clear if this Choctaw ancestry has been verified/documented.
Teri has a daughter with her former husband, actor Jon Tenney.
Teri’s paternal grandfather was Owen Walker Hatcher (the son of James Hutson Hatcher and Anna Bell Pratt). Teri’s grandfather Owen was born in Oklahoma. James was the son of Owen Walker Hatcher and Permelia J. Hawkins. Anna was the daughter of James Pratt and Sarah “Sally” Sego/Seago.
Teri’s paternal grandmother was Mittie Mae Graham (the daughter of James Duncan Graham and Samantha Clercy Rogers). Mittie was born in Texas. James was the son of Ozias Denton Graham and Martha Matilda Thornton. Samantha was the daughter of Geogre Washington Lafayette Rogers and Sarah Ann Emaline Dean Lamb.
Teri’s maternal grandfather was Isbir Khalil Beshur/Bashur (the son of Khalil Beshur/Bashur and Rahma/Rahme Milhim/Milhem). Isbir was a dentist, who was born in Safita, Syria. At least some of the Beshur family may have had roots in Tripoli, Lebanon. They were likely related to Zerefeh Bashur, the first female licensed physician in the Levant, and prominent cardiologist Fouad Bashour. Isbir later re-married to Sarah Ann Kolar, who was of Bohemian Czech and Irish descent.
Teri’s maternal grandmother was Johanne/Hanna/Hanni Elizabeth Ontjes (the daughter of Conrad Ontjes and Gertrude de Vries). Johanne was an emigrant, from Heisfelde, Leer, Lower Saxony, Germany, and likely was of Frisian descent.

syrians are white, middle easterns (arabs & persians) come under the white caucasian category, but technically speaking they have heavy admixture of negroid hence why their skin is coloured and majority have dark hair and eyes but they are still predominantly caucasian.
Don’t get in confusion. There’s no such thing as a division between Syrians and Middle Easterns coz most of Syrians are Arabs and Syria is in Middle East.
Also there’s no relation with Negroid people.
Then Persians have not much to share with Arabs, who are Semitic (as the Jews), Persians are not Semitic.
However they’re all Caucasian, “white” race doesn’t exist in antropology, it’s only a racist concept.
Semitic is Jewish and Arabs I believe are far from that, and the Caucasian race is a related social construct of genetic pools of people with similar chromosomes, cultures, region of Europe, appearance, skull structure, and gene history of Europe. Of course, some of that stuff was not strengthened until measurements and certain DNA tests. That is why scientists say people of one dominant race is that race and Extremists make too much of a hassle of purifying into a race, but it is already purified.
What are you, some sort of Nazi that thinks Syrians aren’t white or you have to look German to be white? Then again, you could be a lefty; I find that the far left and the far right often have very similar, restricted ideas out who is ‘white’, usually equating white with Nordic. In any case, Syrians for the most part look the same as southern Europeans and are caucasian. Have you had a glimpse of Syria’s evil dictator lately? He’s whiter than many Welshmen.
But forget that. Even if you thought of Syrians as ‘non-white’ , thinking Teri Hatcher isn’t white because she’s 25% Syrian and may have some remote Choctaw ancestry (unverified and doubtful) sounds like a very pure race, Nazi Nuremberg Law/one drop rule way of looking at the world.
