she’s pretty but her eyebrows are weird
I love that woman, the most beautiful woman alive. She is also very proud of her mexican roots and on interviews she never mentions her Uruguayan side.
She has not mexican roots, she has mexican nationality and live sthere Since she is 12 years old, any of their Ancestors is mexican
If it is known that her Mexican side consists of Spanish-Basque and Lebanese descent, shouldn’t that be listed under her race or ethnicity? Since Mexican isn’t a race, and and not really a specific ethnicity either. Mexicans can have any heritage, it’s a nationality.
I would say the same.

It says her Japanese ancestry comes from her paternal grandfather, meaning she is 1/4th Japanese. I think what the post is trying to say is that her mom is Mexican and her father is a Uruguayan of 1/2 Japanese and 1/2 Lebanese/Basque descent. Either way Basque and Lebanese should still be included.
Ethnic, can we get verification on the discussion above.
Does the Lebanese and Basque come from her dad’s non-Japanese side or her mother’s side?
correction
Hi Follers and Smiley
As far as the linked article states, she has those 4 heritages, I have yet to find a source that specifies which parent Lebanese and Basque come from.
And where do You find that she has a mexican mom?She has never said that and never mention it when she is talking about México.Some.mexicans said that her mother is mexican, butIf her mother was mexican, she could have obtained mexican nationality earlier and not when she was 24, also she moved to México with her father not her “mexican” mother.
Bárbara never has states about having mexican roots.She talked that she moved ther because father’s job.She never have talked about having mexican ancestry People who said that she is mexican talked about her mother being, interesting, Bárbara moved to México with his father and not her “mexican” mother
Her sister is older than her and she was born in Mexico.
On an interview she said that her mother traveled to Uruguay and found the love of her life. (hahahahahahaha)
Bárbara morí is the oldest sister.Her sister was born in Uruguay not in Mexico.A nd she has never said that her mother mexican.
She is very beautiful! When I was younger about 2003(?), coming from a very proud traditional Mexican family, I always watched Rubi. The story is very dramatic and a lot of irony.
