People Who say she is all black. The surname Barrino an African or American/English last name. There are alot of Cubans, Brazilians, Puerto Ricans and Domincans of AFRICAN descent. So her father being of Cuban ancestry is not to far fetched.

AND JUST AS OF RECENTLY SINCE I’VE BEEN ON THE BLOGS I AM HEARING OF THESE DIFF MIX RACES. AND AFRO CUBAN, DOMINCAN. I DON’T GET HOW THEY ARE BLK PPL LIKE ME AND BLKS I GREW UP ROUND WHEN THEY SPEAK SPANISH AND WHATEVER ELSE. NOT TRYING BE FUNNY JUST NEVER OF SUCH BEFORE. I JUST DON’T THINK ITS THE SAME AS BEING BLK. AND I ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT FANNY WAS. SHE LOOKS ALL BLK, BUT HER LAST NAME KEPT THROWING ME OFF. ITS LIKE ANY COMMON BLK FOLK NAME I KNOW. AND I WAS SO CONFUSED CAUSE SHE DOESN’T LOOK MIXED. JUST MY OPINION I DON’T CONSIDER C. MILIAN, GINA TORRES, LAZ ALONZO, ZOE SALDANO, TATANYA ALI OR ALFONSO ROBEIRO OR ANY SPANISH PPL WITH SPANISH LAST NAMES BLACK. JUST MY THOUGT, LET THEM BE THEM LATIN SPANISH OR WHATEVER THE POLITICALLY CORRECT WORD IS. LALA VASQUES EITHER. CARMELO A. ETC

First of all she’s not BLACK, last time i checked her skintone was brown.
And so what if she has some Cuban in her?
Just because she has a darker tone she can’t be Cuban?
Some of you are really retarded and dumb.
Don’t be a fool, stay at school..
