"And while other actresses of Hollywood’s Golden Age like Merle Oberon (who was Anglo-Indian) and Rita Hayworth (who was Spanish-American) hid their features as the price of admission to white Hollywood"


Just checked up on rita hayworth and she was actually from Spain. The white European country lol what features was she hiding

Your only "passing" if you have a large amount of white blood.

Black people come in all shades but not to this extreme to keep it 100
