I like two of these answers... Oh... wait... they have no idea there is a difference between NATIONALITY and RACE.
Nationality means where on Earth are you FROM.
Just so you know, she was born in a town called North, South Carolina. So, she is American.
As for her race, her mother was African American and Cherokee, and her father was a White American.
