shareyou couldn't tell that?
I do agree she's a gorgeous gal...has an exotic yet down to earth girl next door look
its weird the pictures they have on here she looks more white than anything..but in another cinderela story she looked way black
Its the other way around, her mom is black and her dad is Italian...just sayin...
-Anything you can do I can do better-
Actually, you're wrong. Her mother is Italian and her father is black.
shareAlthough I understand the point, it is an oversimplification, at best.
Genetics doesn't really work that way. "Black" isn't really a percentage thing the way you explain it. Most Black Americans are genetically 30% to 70% African (the the median far below the mean, so that there are more on the lower end than on the higher end).
Dominance in genes does exist, but not in the sense that there are "dominant Black genes." Race in society is determined arbitrarily. These are not genetic definitions of race. The traits that make one "Black" are not clustered: meaning nose shape, skin color, hair texture, etc... are not linked. This is why two bi-racial children, from the same parents, can have a wide variety of differences. (I have personally known bi-racial offspring where one had the complexion of Wesley Snipes while his sister was more similar to Rashida Jones.
"Racial purity" only existed in isolated regions. Today this is becoming more and more less likely. When it comes to features that we commonly assign to race, it is better to think of it less like mixing paint, and more like tossing dice.

No not surprising at all. Carol Channing is half black.
