half african american?

On her mothers resume it says mixed so I think it's right to assume she is a quarter.

I agree, Whistle. I'm a black too and I didn't really see it either. It's like Wentworth Miller, Nicole Richie (her bio mom's part black) and Honor Alba-Warren, who all have parents who have AA genes, but it's not "obvious" at first glance.

Children tend to inherit more features from their father than their mother. Hence Nicole looks more like her Mexican father than her mulatto mother and Troian looks more like her Italian Dad than her mulatto mum. A 75% white person with a full white father is far more likely to end up white than a 75% white person with a full white mother.

Okay, so what of Wentworth and Honor whose *fathers* are part black but who look mostly white themselves? Or Nahla Aubry looks "more" black than the multi-racial individuals listed in these examples, like her mom, Halle Berry, who is only half white? And on father-inherited features alone (not race, but features), why then does Violet Affleck and Suri Cruse, for example, look like practically clones of their respective mothers but not so much their dads?

Maybe it's because children actually inherit their genetics from BOTH parents and one parent's genes (mom OR dad) are more dominant than the other.... Hm, what a thought!

That people children tend to look more like their fathers than their mothers does not mean children always look like their fathers more than their mothers. That's why we use the word tend. Also, the tendency of children to favor their fathers is an evolutionary development to help fathers tell that their children are indeed theirs. A mother can always be sure she is the biological mother of her child. A father has no way of knowing other than the child's appearance. Wentworth and Honor could be exceptions to the general tendency, or they could be examples of why the tendency developed in the first place (in other words, their "fathers" may not be whom they think).

Sorry, I missed the "TEND" and yes, Professor, I am familiar with the word. I just missed your point. Thanks for the biology lesson.

i think she's a quarter at the most...

Probably she's a quarter Latina, Italian, American, African. What ever it was, the most important thing she's so beautiful.
