You can tell she is a mulatto? I never could, but it’s a good thing to know. The one drop rule applies here.

She also mentioned shes Japanese
So shes exactly:
Born and raised in Brazil which makes her a Brasilian citizen, but not in the blood. But her heritage is African, Swiss, West Indian, and Japanese.

Actually last person to comment u are a little bit correct about thinking she had spanish in her but just 1 country away off, this source is wrong she has stated once herself that she is of Portuguese, French, Carribean, & Native South American. Although it has also been said she has some Swiss in her too. But they are majorly off about leaving out her being portuguse because the last name Lima is portuguese & she has said she is mostly portuguese.
