Eva, who doesn't appear that dark to me but rather appears kind of yellowish-tan in color, is routinely listed as one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood. Maybe someone should tell her family ???

I mean what does it do to a child when close family, not strangers -- forget strangers --- ... parents & sisters, do that to you ?

And, of course, if they'd do that to her, take three guesses how they'd react to a black negro ???

When you look at situations like this its not surprising. Because, it is atypical of ethniticities who are ashamed of their dark roots. I guess Eva's family would like to conviently forget that they were decendants of Aztecs and not entirely European(as a result of colonization).
