Classify Fiona Apple

She has my favorite face.

Mongrel, she is obviously partially black.

''Depigmented mulatta''

[Erostratus]

I didn't realize it until I picked the pictures for this post that she does look black. I'll probably get flamed but that makes sense to me considering her vocal control and range.

How black do you think she is? 1/12th? 1/8th? And can anyone classify her white side?

She does have an odd phenotype for sure. I've looked up some biographical info on her and it seems her parents are an actor by the name of Brandon Maggart and a former singer/actress named Diane McAfee.

Some info here:

I've attached a pic of her father who is a blue-eyed Europid and perhaps of the Borreby type. I can not seem to locate a picture of her mother.

She is not listed on www.mixedfolks.com as of mixed-racial heritage but here http://members3.boardhost.com/heroinemag/msg/409.html, a writer is seemingly convinced of her "biracial heritage".

Again, she does have an odd and not 'typical' phenotype for a Europid but I am not convinced that she is a mulatta. My reasoning is, that her hair form is totally Europid, she has blue eyes and her skin tone shows no recent sign of a rather pigmented progenitor. She may very well have something in the 'woodpile' but I will reserve my final judgement pending further biographical information.

What do others see as Negroid in her phenotype? Everted lips, prognathism? If so, I see these as well....although I wonder if she sometimes 'plays up' these features (collagen lips?) as a way of emphasizing her moody song style.

I've also attached a picture of her where she is seemingly sans makeup. To me, this pic shows a Europid woman of perhaps a Neo-Danubian phenotype.

Definitely a tricky classification though.

She looks like a paler version of Eryka Badu. It's uncanny!

I think Fiona Apple is ugly. I have been to that mixed folks site before and it disgusts me. People promoting biracialism and making it look good. Just like the gays think they should have the right to wed. Utterly putrid. Makes me want to vomit. Let's melt the pot a little more than it already has.

I concur.

[Erostratus]

It seems like she looks way different in every picture.

Just for the record, shes had a nose job.
