I KNOW ALOT OF CUBANS THAT HAVE AFRICAN DECENT THAT GET MAD WHEN U CONFUSE THEM FOR BLACK PPL
ya people are dum afro cuban means her ancestors where african and emergerd to cuba which means yes she is cuban and african american
Wrong she is not half Cuban and Half African American you idiot. She is Cuban and Afro Cuban not the same as African American that is African.
but you just said she was Afro-Cuban,so that Afro part still stands for African . Don’t get me wrong, I do understand what your trying to say
Well she’s actually Afro-Cuban, not African-American. Two completely different cultures.
She’s not really Afro-Cuban. Typical Afro-Cubans don’t look like that. They’re much more blacker than her and can even pass for West Africans.
“Some Spanish”? Ahaha, what a joke.
Id have to agree. there is a lot of mixing in Cuba. especially Mulatto.
She’s DEFINITELY mixed, though. She is not full black. You can tell right away she has Spanish blood in her.
If her parents were born and raised in Cuba and she speaks Spanish, I think Cuban heritage is a pretty important part of her life.
