...In other words, she's Black! LOL. That side dominated all the other sides when I look at her. They all say the mix line whenever they want to get more roles. ("Appear to a bigger audience"((Hollywood Talk)).

So they taught you how to be a racist in university?

EDIT: I will elaborate for those who don't know any better and think that I'm a troll. Here are the facts.

http://www.salon.com/2014/10/12/is_race_genetic/

All genes show, other than susceptibility to certain diseases, are locations of origin. Basically, where your ancestors are from many generations ago. However, that does not mean that definitions and interpretations based on race remain constant. Five-hundred years ago, "white" meant English. Three-hundred years ago, it meant Western or Northern European. Today, a white person can come from anywhere in Europe or Russia. Mexico has alternated between the two.

Breaking down an individual's "race" based on their physical appearance is a slippery slope. What you're doing here is more akin to phrenology. If you meant to say that you have a biology degree from eighty years ago, then my apologies. This is from a liberal arts grad. As a biology major, you should know better.
