David she is dumb and obviously racist let her think what she wants!
how old are you 12?
Only YOU consider someone african with that distinction..
So with your logic Alex Rodriguez and Vin Diesel should be considered ” african”
Or we going to pick and choose based on the level of melanin some one has?
If you have a drop of african blood, you are considered african, it doesn’t matter where you relocate to.
The ignorance in this thread is laughable! One thing I hate is ” african-americans” that want to claim people into their ” race” just because they “look” like them. She knows and speaks spanish and she grew up in a ” latin american” culture , she is not considered ” black” in the U.S.
Yes you can definitely see she has african roots but she grew up in a different culture than that of an American with african roots..
It’s also funny how people pick and choose which latin american they want to consider black.
I don’t really see white people doing that. and putting afro before your nationality is ridiculous because I don’t see European looking “Latinos” putting Caucasian before their nationality.
It’s always the american black that has this sorta paranoid and self conscious approach towards race…
She is Latina/ Hispanic, not African-American. Yes, she is Afro-Cuban mulata or maybe Afro-mestiza. She is not pure black. She has curly hair!
