She loves Italians yet she doesn’t have one drop of italian blood in her..I’m 100% Italian..From the first episode of Jersey Shore I could tell she was Hispanic. You can tell because her lips are thin & she has a rounder face & short stature, although we southern Italians are olive skinned, we have a different kinda complexion then hers, look at Sammi whos Greek & Italian & look at the different kind of skin tones between her & Snooki. Even thought they both tan you can still tell the difference between a Meditaranean & a south American.

She doesn’t look Italian at all, which is the first thing I noticed when I saw her. She’s obviously Latin American and really looks more Native American than European. The facial features, round face, jet-black hair, darker skin (though the excess tanning adds to it), and very short stature all make her look Native.

@Anen watchout what you say because I am Huichol Indian. Huichol is a Native American tribe in Mexico look it up! The fact that you called her “India” in quatation marks and said that no one want’s them is very insulting to me!!!! Other too will find it insulting!!

Chilean isn’t an ethnicity, like what is this girl’s ethnicity Spanish, Mestizo, Italian, Portuguese, or Amerindian ??? Chilean is just a nationality with many different ethnicities! That’s like saying all the American born stars are just American, not Irish or whatever their ethnic backgrounds are ! Considering Chile’s population majority of the people are of Southern European or Mestizo descent so Snooki is either of European (Spanish/Italian etc.) or Mestizo descent I am guessing ! Her features though are pretty European/White, her skin is just tanned, because she goes to tanning beds and stuff too much !
