Yup Janice didn't look "white". A lot of agents turned her down because of her darker skin.
Janice does look white. Plenty of white people have darker hair, eyes, and skin. She maybe didn't look California-Barbie white, but she is caucasian. Caucasians come in a variety of shapes and colors,too. People are qucick to highlight diversity among other groups, but whites also have a lot of variations. Italinas, Greeks, and Jews are examples of ethnic whites, but they are as caucasian as Swedes and Anglo-Brits.
I didn't mean that in a pissy way, just wanted to point that out. And I agree there is an double standard that rips non-whites a new one for altering features while whites get a free pass. No one is a mind reader and no one is qualified to say what someone else's motives are.
