What an ignorant comment. She’s of FULL Hispanic descent, Dominican and Puerto Rican. Both of her parents are lighter than her, her puerto rican mother is a bit darker than her dominican father though but they’re both light. I saw them in an interview a while ago.

why are we so fast to take offense to having african ancestry but are in anstonishment when someone points out european features. if people were actually comfortable to be in their skin you wouldn’t take offense to when someone asks if you’re black. from the darkest shade to the fairest shade and everything in between be proud of who you are and stop making it such a competition
