We'll need Word of God for that line asserting that her race has affected her career.
As for her appearance, examples for this trope are questionable in that it amounts to declaring who has a "true" African American appearance and who doesn't. I'm not at all sure that's our business. Natter-bait at best.
- But Not Too Black: Straight example. She's faired skinned at best. Not that it's really helped her career all that much...
