A more pc term should be found for her and other non-blonde celebs.

It is offensive and rather annoying.

That's right, sexy baby!

I don't get why everyone thinks exotic = nonwhite (or non-blonde/redhead anyway). She has utterly classic, universally liked looks.

I bet you say that to all the Nordic ice goddesses. -Tora Olafsdotter

Classic in what sense? I love that although she is half white she has a very distinct classic Filipina features and not just her skin colour. To me she would have a classic look but to a Caucasian she may not.


I don't see why saying exotic is offensive. It's all a point of view. To an Asian person in Asia a white person would have an exotic look and vice versa. What's the BFD?

Huh? She doesn't have any classic Filipino facial features, other than her skin tone. This is what most Filipino women look like. https://globaldale.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/dscf2681.jpg I went to school with loads of Filipino people and none of them looked like Shay, her facial features and bone structure are completely different.

Yes because knowing a few Filipinos in your school makes you a cultural expert.
