Just googled her. Very girl next door. Anyone know her ethnicity?[/quote]

she's black and white. Which is why people are excited ignoring that she looks white and is for all purposes white identified. This is not Lupito N'yogo becoming a princess.[/quote]
She looks like a tan white girl.

Minirities who pass for white have always had the easiest time assimilating.[/quote]

I don't think she herself purposely passed for white at all. I believe her when she says she is proud of being biracial.

Even her Suits character is presented as biracial with Wendell Pierce playing her father. Her other roles were so minor that ambiguity was less about "passing" than blink and you miss her.[/quote]

It's not the character she plays that makes her white identified.
She keeps her hair straight reducing the chances she'll be instantly seen as biracial and/or part black.
She largely surrounds herself by white people.
She has not spoken out about black issues.
Considering she is biracial this makes sense.
People acting like this is a "win" for minorities or black people are wrong.[/quote]
Yes. I know minorities like her. They are treated as, and think of themselves as "tan white girls." The historical issues people of color face do not apply to them because they do not look very different than white people. They wear their hair straight, only hangout with white people, dress like whites people, make white people cultural references.

When you ask them about race they say race isn't really a thing.[/quote]

You guys do know that many biracial people have naturally straight hair right? As an actress, I'm sure she straightens her hair to get roles. Remember, white people are scared of AA/biracial natural hair.   How do you guys know who she surrounds herself with? She states Serena Williams is one her closest friends.  Serena maybe be having a baby with a white dude, but she stands for blackness all day long.

Also to prove you're black you have to speak out about black issues?

Do you guys speak out about "white" issues?

What else must one do to pass the black test?[/quote]

Aw are your feelings hurt that somebody spoke the truth about your idol? FYI Serena is white identified too.[/quote]

You know cause I got some free time, I'm going to play with you. In what world is Serena Williams "white identified"?

Is it her big butt?

Her CRIPT walking when winning Wimbledon?

Her donating over 3 million dollars to AA inner city tennis clubs?

Opening a school in Africa?

Is it because she wears weave?

Is it being a Jevoha's Witness?

Is it because she's worth over $150 million dollars?

I mean what is it?

In fact, please define what makes one "white identified"?

she has chosen to procreate with a white man, her daughter will l grow up predominately surrounded by white people/white culture and like her mother view blackness as a charitable cause. She likely like Meghan have a whit husband and so on any children from their and all of Serena's legacy and funds will mostly benefit white people.   Live vicariously through Serena and Meghan all you want but don't for a second think they are doing anything to change anything for black people.[/quote]

Yeah, I changed my mind.  I don't have anymore time for you.  I don't know much about Meghan, so I won't speak on her.  But I know a lot about Serena.  I have met her a couple of times due to work and it's clear that you are just a trolling for a fight.  I won't derail this thread talking about Serena.  She doesn't need me defending her (although I will), her connection to her blackness has been quite documented.

I wish Meghan and HArry good fortune.  [/quote]

I wish them well too.  They are in love so I hope it works out for them.

That said she isn't a black women, So BLack women like your self should not be trying to claim this as a victory for black women/black  people.[/quote]

White People. Strange fruit you are!  I'm going to assume you are white because you assumed I am black. No one is "claiming this as victory for black women black people"! Why would anyone do that?  She is beautiful woman, who hopefully met her prince.  No one is claiming her.  I'm just trying to figure out the black identify test?  What makes someone a black? If she wants to identify as white.  Great!  But we all know that white people like you won't let her (Just like you guys wouldn't let Tiger) That one drop rule lives on forever...
