Is she trying to act more 'black' to make up for her light skin and eyes

This is ridiculous because we both know that green eyes are a trait mainly found in caucasians. Which caucasian lines are usually found in African Americans' bloodlines? Oh yes, the caucasians from Europe AKA White people.

Most black americans have european ancestry down the lines and no caucasians are not the only one's with green eyes. There are plenty of other ethnicities who aren't as 'blended' with green eyes as well.
some of you guys are stupid. Read a book. -

Eye color is a polygenic trait, meaning that multiple alleles are responsible for the manifestation of the phenotype (the physical expression of the gene(s)). In other words, you can't work out eye color with a Punnett square.
While it's likely that Tyra has white in her, black people CAN
have green/blue/hazel eyes whilst being completely black. What's impossible is two people with bright blue eyes (Hugh Laurie bright) producing a brown-eyed child. -

In a recent episode of her stupid show, Tyra Banks is blonde, has light skin, and green eyes. I don't see how someone so proud to be black is trying to look as white as possible.
First off, Tyra's eyes are naturally green.
Second of all, Mary J. Blige (the R&B singer, also known as the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul) has been sporting straight blonde hair ever since she came on the scene in 1991, and she's as black as they come. Same goes for T-Boz from TLC, and Keyshia Cole was blonde for a time. How come no one ever accuses them of trying to be white?
And as far as her "acting black", don't worry, I know exactly what you mean. That head-weaving, palm in the air, "gurrrrrl!" type of talk is what a lot of stereotypical black women do - not white women.
People seem to forget that this girl is born and raised in Inglewood, California. Inglewood is definitely a hood area, so maybe it's not an act. That newscaster-type voice she does during her talk show is more likely her putting on an act.

Yes, like Rihanna and tons of others. If they're naturally like that, fine, but it's annoying when they do it to "compensate" for how they look.
"Rawr, I'm a dinosaur!" No. Rawr, you're an idiot.
