With the massive difference that Hathaway is white and this girl a person of color.
She’s mixed and Anne is not.
It was a reply to a user whose comments have been flagged by Google. For context I think she said Brittany looks like Anne Hathaway. Definitely not.
I see now. I was gonna say how?

Mixed race and mostly white like Meghan Markle. Probably no more than 1/3 black
agree
Yep, makes sense, Luisiana Creole is pretty much the american equivalent of “pardo”, a term we use in Brazil refering to mixed-race people. And since her dad is full white, it’s safe to say she’s mostly white, if you combine with the european admixture of her mom.
You can’t make her identify as white bc you think she should. If she identifies as mixed or black, let her. She will not be a white Portuguese like you.
I said she’s genetically mostly European. But she cannot be a white person since she’s obviously mixed with black, she has some pretty noticeable black features, despite having a very light brown skin.
You know nothing of Creole culture or what Creoles are since you are white from Portugal. Even though she has African from her creole side regardless of her mother’s European roots doesn’t take her African away, like you are trying to do as saying she’s a “white girl” and she is clearly mixed with African. Genetics can’t take away from your culture. Culturally she is a Louisiana Creole, not European from Europe like you want her to be. I’m sure she would rather wave a Louisiana creole flag than an European flag.
Dude did you even read what I said LoL
