[@JG_SmileSOBright]

I completely agree. Maybe not in the UK, but here in the States, her biggest critics are Black American women who cannot relate to her. She is the proverbial biracial girl who is hated bc she's not "Black" enough. It's really sad, but a reality for many. Even those who aren't biracial.

[@sundaygirlsez]

Did she know she was Black? A Black woman raised her. WTF?

[@mimidavis726]

I agree the question was messy.. But MJW had a great answer..

[@susantaylor1804]

She absolutely knew she was Black & never tried to hide it. She & her mom are incredibly close.

[@MandySam13]

Why didn’t she have any black friends then? Her mum was not even in her life for 10 years and she came back when she was graduating high school. They are clearly close now.

[@ShayWillie]

I feel that if you are half white and half black, as long as you are not denying your racial background, there is nothing wrong with accepting roles for either black or white characters. If they are willing to cast you, fine.

@@ShayWillie There is an mixed actress who is Quincy Jones daughter (last name Jones as well) she is olive complexion and I have always seen her play a white girl's role. A couple more who's names elude me.

[@christinepizzi6197]

@@barbaracook4764 Yes that's Rashida Jones, her mom Peggy Lipton of the Mod Squad. She actually has a son with a white partner, not sure if they are married. Meghan didn't come from famous parents but I'm sure she wished so. She was exposed to many girls picked up by limos from school and envied it and their whiteness. The evidence is in black and white on past resumes and cannot be denied. A biracial woman i just love is our first black Miss America, Vanessa Williams. Class, talented singer and actress, family love...great parents. Absolutely beautiful...MM should take a lesson.

She knew but did she like being black or did she cosmetically enhance herself to pass or look racially ambigious watched suits for 5 seasons and had no clue until she said her mom is black but as a child it's obvious she is biracial not so obvious now from the enhanced facial features!
