shes what every black girl wants to look like except they can only hope to look like that if they mix with European or Native Latin Americans
every black guy would froth over her too… so now they claim her as theirs :/ lol funny I remember reading somewhere either her maternal or paternal grandparents were European immigrants to Puerto Rico, and just above her mother and cousins look very Native… so at most she is probably Mestiza

Erm To Malik.
1) NOT all white girls tan
2)Depending of which part of euope they are from, they can be naturally tanned e.g the Spanish, italiano people, Portuguese, Greeks, Albanians etc.
3)White people DO NOT want to be black, the ones who tan only do it to add some colour if they are very pale, or to suit the weather.
4)White girls are beautiful especially southern european!
5) I’m Cuban with full on Spanish Ancestry.
Viva Espana y Cuba!

Jennifer Lopez has fuller lips (not African resembling full lips) but Mestiza or phenotypes that can be found in modern Mesoamericans today.
Her hair is not of African make up at all :/ Pure Negroids are generally Sub Saharan – look at their natural hair and then look at the miscegenated African Americans of today – they still retain that Negroid hair – Jennifer does not – her hair is curly and possibly very thick and dense, a common trait of Hispanic hair texture.
The biggest indicator you have (this is in response to Afrocentrists whom believe JLO is Negroid lol) is her beautiful ass haha which does not resemble the shape of Negroid buttocks, but the shape of Kim Kardashian’s hourglass figure – are you going to tell me she is African too?

And where is your proof that she is just “Mestiza” ? Fact is, she probably has African ancestry due to the fact Puerto Rico also has it’s fair share of Black people! Growing up i was told she was Mexican but before that i always thought she looked a little Black to me… Because she doesn’t look like a typical Mestiza.

How do you know? I have not been able to find a source on this. She looks it, but I’ve never heard of her being tri-racial although I would not doubt it.

Yeah she definitely has some Native in her no doubt, but you can’t really be sure she is part Black.

She doesn’t have to say it, it’s no big secret.
All you have to do is look up genetics basics and Caribbean history, 95% of the populations in the Caribbean are of African decent that means full, part mixtures but hardly anyone is truly straight Caucasian or white.
Now with the multi-racial mixture you get all different types of looks because they carry genes for all the races within their background even though all the genes are not always always expressed. You can get someone who looks straight caucasian or tons of mixtures or straight African.
Just think all different shades, and looks: Jennifer Lopez, Adriana Lima, Rihanna, Alicia Keys, (Jamaican decent) Naomi Campbell (Jamaican decent).
Oh and JLo’s African ancestry is more than obvious, naturally tightly curly hair, the lips, the hips, the booty.

I don’t get what you are telling me but I went to Argentina and everyone looks Spanish/European or native. I landed in PR and once in Cuba and everyone looks more mixed up like Jlo and alot more fuller figures on a lot of the women..The only difference that Im aware of between Argentina people and PR or Cuban people is that Argentina did not have so many african slaves compared to PR and Cuba…So JLO to seems to match the history of the island..which is mainly spanish with a bit of african and native thrown in hence she has an african shape ass..OK.

jennifer has an hourglass figure like kim kardashian – is she part african too? i highly doubt it.
sure what you are saying is correct about the history of Latin America, but dont start with the ‘everyone is black’ shit that heaps of people try to push these days. honestly if JLO actually had black in her, it would be represented by less than 3% in her DNA. Her hair is not tight and curly like africans at all – her hair resembles curly, dense and thick of the mestizo/mestiza or modern mesoamericans. She has their flat face and jaw structure (no pure black african has that facial structure) and fuller lips but not Black African full lips.

Uhh, if it was at 3% you wouldn’t be able to see an African look AT ALL. You just have to look at Jlo and you can SEE that she is part Black. What do you have against her being part Black anyways? Racist. YES we all know she looks Native. Whatever. If it makes you feel any better, she probably has more Native because she looks it. Gosh.
