I doubt she is part Japanese. Why did she leave out that she is part Portuguese? Where did the name “Lima” come from? It is certainly not Swiss, African, Japanese, or Native American.

I thought Adriana would be part Portuguese. I mean, her surname is Portuguese, isn’t it?

Why do you think she is lying about being part Japanese?

I wonder why she wouldn’t mention her Portuguese roots? I don’t get it. Is she trying to sound more exotic or something?

Yes, I think she’s trying to sound more exotic.Many brazilians are ashamed of their portuguese roots.
