Fuzzy bear you are so wrong she is Guyanese not African. Just because your from Africa doesn’t mean your African. There are many different types of races & people that live there. Africa is a continent dear! Please start listening in history class.
She is african because her parents are African. Duh.. you said she Guyanese and that all.So If your a teacher you need to stop being one !! So your wrong ! I mean she looks African
To A teacher
If you were truly a teacher,I feel sorry for your students.Anyone born in Africa,is African.If you just moved there that’s a different thing,However this is not the case with her,her parents are part African
to fuzzybear,yeah if your from africa,yeah it does make you an african,but as your nationality.
to P,that’s what I meant by what I said
However,from what I read her parents are of recent african descent,which also makes her of african descent
To HELL NO
I do understand what your saying,but aren’t her parents at least part African?So whether she’s from Ghana or Guyana,she’s still of African descent right?So besides the wrong country,how is she not African?
MELANIE FIONNA IS NOT AFRICAN SHE IS FROM GUYANA WHICH IS IN SOUTH AMERICAN NOT GHANA WHICH IS IN AFRICA SMH PEOPLE ARE SO IGNORANT
THEREFORE SHE IS GUYANESE,PORTUGUESE AND INDIAN.
She is of African descent, I have the same mixture she does. Melanie is mostly African/Afro Guyanese you can see that. I am from Guyana too
Guyana has a near 40% Black population of African descent just like how African AMericans are. I am Guyanese, I know. And black means mostly black, of course Guyanese blacks are mixed in small percentages with other things.
