Some mixed people (which is rare) look either totally black, white, asian and so forth. Like Kimora, she looks totally Asian. I would classify her as Asian, because if she was in a group with Full blooded Asian you could not tell if she was mixed. And that is how the world really looks at it, plain and simple. Just like President Obama, he looks totally Black, and he knows it. So it would be stupid for him to run around talking about I am mixed. He has the sense to know how the world sees him, and it is not about denying one side over the other

I usually never blog/comment, but let me she some light. I have a niece that is hispanic and black and is darker than Shar. I have a niece that is white and black and looks completely white. I have a nephew that is black and mexican and he looks completely hispanic. It is impossible to at times to tell someones hertiage by looks along.

Ya’ll are dumb if you actually believe she is a mixed woman! Star is a black girl and is lying about her race and heritage b/c she hates being black. Her parents are both BLACK! No mexican, no nothing! If she is mixed then EVERY black person is mixed.

Tete,
You sound silly! Have you not understood what most on this board have been saying! The likely hood that a person of color in this country is not mixed is zero to none!!! So get over it! People like you is what race problems are about in this country! Your mind is conditioned to thinking just one way and I’m sorry for you! You need to take some courses in race relations and study as well the Black Diaspora!!!! Get a clue!!!

Most Puerto Ricans are of African descent. It is proven through history and genetic studies. Some people are mostly black, some mostly white, no one was found to be mostly native, and there are people who fall between all 3 groups, or between black & white. There is not a lack of people of African descent in Latin America. The only difference is that the definition of Black is different.
Are you Puerto Rican? I bet you are an idiot from Puerto Rico that doesn’t know the history of the island or your own ancestry. This is old, it’s been done. You are so in denial. If her father is Puerto Rican, then that’s what he is. Maybe he’s black, maybe he’s not. She could have african or native ancestry through her mexican line. I’ve seen mexican “natives” darker than her.
