    There is much more than what is stated. I’ve always thought some Romanian blood and/or least some African heritage (I hate saying that and not being able to specify more accurately, because I can just not beyond the bigger African countries).

      Just because someone’s a bit dark that doesn’t mean they would have African ancestry.

      Maybe Spanish or Sicilian, yes. I could see that in here. But NOT black.

      • midori29 says:

        Spanish and socilians do have small amounts of West African dna they just aren’t dark for no reason that’s been proven by dna tests which you can google. Lots of Italian and Spanish folks have taken dna tests and Black African subsaharan African has appeared. It’s makes zero sense to be so racist that you’re ignoring basic common sense which you can research .
