She is mostly white or Anglo in real life. 75% or more.
Geneticist have been telling us for decades that there is more variation within a race than between them. So, it would follow that there would be color, hair texture, height variations within white populations as well as black.
A friend of mine from Lousiana had one child with fair skin and one with olive complexion. She used to shield the one with the fair skin from swimming at certain times of the day. With the olive skinned child she was clearly less concerned about protection. Eventually, it got so cumbursome, trying to keep up with it all, that she just started imposing a restrictive ban to the olive skinned child. It was just easier that way. And by the way, the fairer skinned child had very curly hair similar to Nicole Kidman.
Genetics can be so much fun! But, just as there is variation within the blacks (Charlie Rangel versus Spike Lee) there is also variation within whites(Conan Obrien versus George Stephanopoulous). And of course, within bi-racial populations there are extremes such as with Mariah Carey and Barack Obama, both theoreticaly bi-racials, but one with a face seen mostly in white populations while Barack has facial features seen mostly in black populations albeit populations with some white ancestry.
