She should be tanned. Sun streaked hair.

Carolina - an original song written by Taylor Swift. It hasn't come out yet

I agree that she looks too clean, but she describes herself as "white trash" in the books and talks about how she stuck out like a sore thumb when she visits Jumpin's neighbourhood.

@@SnazzyArcade The book describes her hair as black, her eyes equally dark and shes very tan at the least. She might call herself white because compared to Jumpin she is but based on the description I wouldn't call her that. Mixed at the very least. But fair enough, the book is pretty ambigious when it comes to this.

@@elintilia2790 Yeah it's also very hard to say whether or not the one guy keeps her a secret because of her race or because she's poor. But given it's the 1960s South I feel like if she was PoC it would have been touched upon more-e.g. would she have been in a segregated school at that point?

Page 222 “ In another time and place, an old black man and a young white woman might have hugged.”

@@jennifergoetz7115 great comment. I thought it was obvious she wasn’t black or mixed - not only in the crystal clear references: the author directly describing her as a young white woman; Kya referring to herself as white trash; Kya’s references to others as ‘coloured folk’; her dad using the N word against others as a slur… but the nature of her interactions with other characters would have been totally different and a focal point of the book in their own right if she was black/mixed in the 1960s Deep South - her relationship with 2 white boys, going to a non-segregated school, using the same bus and stores as everyone else. If not for the obvious references to her being white, I think the author would have touched on the nuances of race a lot more if she was in any part black.

The book that the movie is based on has been on bestseller lists for years, often at #1.

I have just read the book and the girl in the movie is too neat by half

@@donnamcnair6730 yeah I kinda agree like I feel like she looks just a bit too clean

*It's not from a "comic book." The movie is based on a novel, a work of fiction, called "Where the Crawdads Sing."*

You sound hungry

@@catherinethorstenberg8957 No ma'am i was just praising her beauty. Why take everything in the wrong sense.

@@Snow-tm9ic when I’m hungry I also look at people and see nothing but desserts

@@catherinethorstenberg8957 I am from India, here we don't get to see so beautiful women like this. Her screen is strawberry colored and soft looks like the cream. In India mostly we have dark women and their skin is hard like the bark of a tree.

@@Snow-tm9ic oh good lord

God is not responsible for this movie.
