I don't think it was understandable for her to hide her race. I don't think it is ever "understandable" to do so. What's more, I can't believe people fell for it. It is not like she looked like Jennifer Beals. Claudia Mason, a super of the 90s, also hid her part black ancestry, which I also find abominable.
So gorgeous, although I hate how people hold it against her for hiding her race. It was understandable for her times.
To me, Claudia and Donyale had the same sitch, because in my eyes, Donyale was denying being black and I am sorry, but Donyale does not look one iota mixed to me.
