Nepotism is one of numerous Hollywood vices that are generally given a free pass. She was all right, but here's betting many others would have been better.
My people skills are fine. It's my tolerance of morons that needs work. -

I don't care about her appearance. I can suspend my disbelief unless the SCRIPT gives me reason to doubt (and not what I know about her background, outside of the film).
She was good as a kid, less interesting as she grew up - but then, the same could be said of the boy, also.

Theres no way a Mexican can be two white people's child. Not believable and really bad casting in my opinion.
Lorelei Linklater is not a "Mexican." She was born in Mexico while her parents (both white Texans) were working there. She does cultivate an "exotic" look. Linklater is of Scottish-English ancestry and his partner of mixed Irish and European antecedents, looks to me like she might have some Greek or Italian in her background.
Lorelei's younger twin sisters appear in the later scene in the movie where there's a graduation party for Mason. They are represented as Mason's cousins. They look strikingly like Lorelei, though both have lighter brown hair.
