What a crock of shit. She is being interviewed by filipinos so of course she is going to say she is half filipino. Im filipino myself and i will admit she seems to have more afromexican blood. If you dont know what that means then look up Shar Jackson and Stacey Dash. I bet that she will say she is half mexican when she gets interviewed by a mexican journalist. Its all about popularity and she sure does have the three best ethnic groups running through her veins. Look at how many famous celebrities just happen to be Black, Mexican Latino and filipino.
Yeah, i’m pretty sure she knows her own ethnicity…
And if you don’t believe she is part Filipino, here is a picture of her family: http://www.cassieverse.org/index.php?site=familyfriends
Clearly her dad is of Asian/Filipino origin.
Joseph is dumb as hell.
she’s made Filipino/Mexican,but she’s look like little African no much
She looks Blasian.
If you think about it, its hard to tell by genetics. If this is true, she will be %50 Asian, 25% Black, and 25% Mexican. So mainly Asian. However, the Philippines do have a Spaniard population, so she can be mixed with some European, maybe. Being Black, mostly you are African with a percentage of Native and or White/European. So maybe. Last Mexican. Mexico, is a Spanish speaking country because of the Spanish, so there could be a little more Spanish European, possibly.
Whatever her ethnicity, she’s fine as fuck.
I love her hairstyle!!!!
Created hyped up pedigree to make it in the entertainment industry. Oh Lord. I wish these folks who are this and that know that what makes them beautiful is that little bit of precious melanin African blood running through their veins…and you can run from that melanin and claim this and that, but guess what when you hit 40 you will be glad that it kept you from becoming a shrinking wrinkling violet.
Stfu! All the way in 2011.
