"Desiree Goodwin, who is black, also claimed that Harvard passed her over because of her race and gender. She had been seeking damages for emotional distress and lost wages."

Does she look 'black' to you???

I'm confused.

Kinda sorta, not so much by skin color as by facial features. Maybe she's multiracial?

Hey, this fine lookin' Goodwin man looks about as black as her:



Odd, we have the same concave-up nose...

Actually, she looks similar to my sister, though she does have some black heritage---us Goodwin's tend to be PALE!

people are gettin a bit pathetic these days arnt they? i mean IMO she not really pretty at all. She also sounds a bit full of herself, she states that shes a pretty girl about 6 times during that article. If she was applying for Harvard then she isnt going to be accepted on her looks or her dress, she'll be accepted due to her personalitly and intellect, which doesnt sound to well developed, in either case.

It's nice to find a place like IW were no one is like that, its great. I havnt been here very long but out of the 15,000 or so of "choc's minions" i havnt yet heard of anyone being rude or seriously flaming another. You should be proud of yourselves.

that sounded a bit like a sermon didnt it

So Daffy, ever been to the Caribbean? Lots of light-skinned black people there.

Just from that photo I can see that she's not pure caucasian, does look to have some darker-skinned ancestry at least. But the whole lawsuit sounds like more money-grabbing antics than anything else.

My nephew has that skin tone, so yeah...she can definately have mixed race, but if she claims she is black then she more than likely lives in that enviroment and the "black" parent is the dominant one in the family, or the one she associates with the most.

She looks more black than white to me. She probably has some mixed heritage though.
