She’s a cute girl and I love her voice.
I estimate she is less than 20 percent African. Her dad looks more Puerto rican/spanish more than anything. He has that earth brown complexion, curly hair… the father has two groups other than african in him and the mother is all European so it makes sense she looks, well basically Caucasian.
I am sorry but Puerto RICAN is not a race. When you are Puerto Rican you can be mixed , European, African . and Asian descent. I am sorry that people but blacks in this box of just having nappy hair , and darker than night ( which is nothing wrong with that at all ) However without being mixed blacks have loose curls , wavy hair, tight curls , light honey skin , yellow skin complexion, cinnamon , coco ,chocolate , milk, earth brown complexion as well. Your comment is ignorant.
@ashleymw1981, AGREED you are totally correct most of the world does not know how diverse looking black people are. Thank goodness someone else said it. Most Puerto Ricans are just lighter skinned African/European mixtures. Even if they have straight hair and light skin MOST are part black. Puerto Rican is not a race. I have traveled to Puerto rico. Puerto Ricans range in skin tone from milk white to coal black.
yall just dont want her to be mixed with black thats what it is….. shameful is she black she is black does not matter
i mean if she is black she is black… doesn’t matter.
I thought she was just white.
Also, for those of you saying that she doesn’t look black. It doesn’t matter! Just because she doesn’t look black doesn’t take away from the fact that she is part black….doesn’t matter what percentage….and when the heck did it become a bad thing to be black or half black or part black? She is part black….whether she is 2% black or half black….it is apart of who she is so deal with it. No one is making a big deal that she is part Hispanic/Latino…but you are making a huge deal about the fact that she part black….please stop…your ignorance is showing.
Because hispanic and latino are not raíces.Latino can look everything.It would be like people making a big de al because someone has ancestors from Anglophone countries.
