She has released music as part of the band Selena Gomez & the Scene, including the songs “Who Says” and “Love You Like a Love Song,” and as a solo artist, including the songs “Come & Get It,” “Good for You,” “Same Old Love,” “Hands to Myself,” “Love You to Love Me,” and, in a featured role, “Calm Down.” She founded the film/television production company July Moon Productions, cosmetics company Rare Beauty, and makeup, clothing, handbag, and fragrance lines. She has been a UNICEF ambassador, and worked with charities focusing on mental health and gender, racial, and LGBT issues.
She is the daughter of Mandy Dawn (Cornett), a stage actress, and Ricardo Joel Gomez. Her father is of Mexican descent, with roots in Monterrey. Her mother was adopted by Debbie Jean (Gibson) and David Michael Cornett, and was raised in Texas. Selena has stated that, later in life, her mother found out that, by birth, she “has Italian roots.” It is not clear if her mother is of fully or partially Italian background; she has been referred to as both in press reports. Selena’s mother’s adoptive parents are mostly of British Isles descent. David was born in Texas, and is the son of Ernest William Cornett and Helen Elizabeth Spangler. Debbie is the daughter of J. C. Gibson and Lois Maybell Pierce.
Selena’s parents separated when she was five years old, and her mother later married Brian Teefy.
She was named after Tejano singer and actress Selena Quintanilla-Pérez. Selena has released a Spanish-language EP.
Selena’s paternal grandfather is named José Ricardo Gómez.
Selena’s paternal grandmother is named María Eugenia “Mary” Ramos.

Out of ignorance… Selena looks sorta mestizo but more European, Spanish than anything.
No she’s more Italian than anything 50%. Her mexican dad is not even full spanish so how can she be more spanish??? She only inherites half of what he is! Learn math ignorant
If modern-day Mexicans kept track of their ethnic background meticulously like most Americans still do today it would say:
*Spanish, Indigenous Mexican (father)- “mestizo”, basically
*Italian, possibly other (mother)
which most likely are her actual ancestries tbh.
But since they don’t, she is just “Mexican”.
without makeup she looks fully white, here she has makeup that makes her to look darker.
Mexican girls are not like her, they are darker and salma hayek doesn’t have the same skin tone.
She does look “white” in some pictures but in others she looks clearly Amerindian admixed.
Generally speaking she looks non-white to me.
She reminds me of Becky G.
She’s so plain and boring. She looks like every Mexican I’ve seen.
By the way, I’ve seen pictures of her mother and she doesn’t look 100% white, she looks Mexican herself.
does this woman look Mexican?

Well There are Mexican with blonde hair and blues eyes,so why not an American person with brown hair and brown eyes can’ not look “mexican”?
