Even this site here says she Afro-latino:

She may chose to be like others,who say their just Italian(with some other things),you know who I speak of.Also she may not want to be place in a box of certain roles.However she is forever playing either black, mexican or mixed roles.Which to me, she being a hypocrite.She’ll take the roles,but doesn’t want to be Id as part black;she must really hate her biological father

lol @ afro mexican, no Mexicans go around breaking down our heritage because we would have to trace back over 500 years to do that! We are majority people of mixed race, the black slaves didnt just land in Mexico yesterday, we’re talking a mixture of Afro-Euro-native that dates back hundreds of years . Too mixed to be labeled as “:AFRO:
If she was Cuban or Puerto Rican I would understand since many of them have closer afro roots.
JUST SAYIN.

I agree with you,she’s shouldn’t have to call herself anything other than Mexican.However I’m not the one who made the label up,that was done a long time ago.Then again I get people on here that say,there were never any black people in Mexico.Then there are those who say ok,they were there but only a few of them.Then there are those who say ok they were,but stay in the South like good little puppies.Then they treat the black mexicans like crap,and do Then they make up stupid stuff like this:

But then you say this(If she was Cuban or Puerto Rican I would understand since many of them have closer afro roots.)That like saying that those Mexicans in the South and in the North don’t have strong ties to their African Heritage,which by the way helped to shape the entire culture there.Which from I can see is the farthest thing from the truth

To total23 it’s more fan base site that say it,but since their not legal source I didn’t put them down.They just say Mexican,however most mexicans who are Afro-Mexican like her just call themselves Mexicans.I do know she play an African-American on t.v,so the odds of it being in her back ground are very high,also who beside her family would know better than fans
