She’s DEFINITELY mixed, though. She is not full black. You can tell right away she has Spanish blood in her.

If her parents were born and raised in Cuba and she speaks Spanish, I think Cuban heritage is a pretty important part of her life.

Christina is American because she was born in the U.S.A. She is not of African-American heritage, but of Cuban heritage. Not everyone who is of African descent in the U.S. is African-American. She is Cuban-American.

People you can be “Black” and still have heritage from around the world. It’s not a plague being black you know, and many people treat it as such esp. Afro-Latinos and other Blacks. Yes you may speak Spanish, French, Portugueese, Creole or some other language, but you can’t deny your African ancestry! Especially if you complexion is deep… don’t be alarmed your black, which is not the same as being African American,though they can be inter changeable. Black is more Broad, it’s based mainly on your complexion…Ancestry follows, that’s why there are titles Afro-Cuban, Afro-Trinidadian, Afro-Panamanian etc etc.

Afro-Cubans are descendants of the African Slaves that were transported to Cuba.
