Birth Name:
Alicia J. Augello-Cook
Birth Place:
Harlem, New York City, USA
Ethnicity:
Irish, Scottish, Italian and African American.
The American singer is multiracial. Her mother, Terri Auguello is of Irish, Scottish and Italian ancestry, and her father, Craig Cook is African American.
Keys stated that as she grew up in New York she never had to experience feeling “not Black enough” or “not White enough”. However she became comfortable with her biracial heritage as it allows her to relate to different cultures.
A lot of people believe I’m part Jamaican, though I’m not. I’m definitely black and Italian and a little Irish or Scottish.

She has a cool mix. My mum is French-born, and has a Northern Italian grandmother. Her whole family in both France and N. Italy are blonde-haired and blue-eyed with very pale skin. =]

She’s black and white. Italians, like americans have different textures. Northern Italians have Central Europen features(pale skin, etc)..Southern Italians have Mediteranean features(tan skin, darker hair). Europeans are different shades, but are all Caucasian. In the world, there are Three Races, Caucasoid, Mongloids, and Negroids. The confusing part is all the mixing that has taken place throughout history. They each have different features.

Yeah, she’s half Black . Sooooo. What’s your point ? She’s also half White making her neither one exclusively, which in my book that makes her BIRACIAL .
