I do not think she looks mullato as in black and white . If anything she looks more Black /Asian Indian.
Check and google other pics of her , link

lol dumb bitch, you know what an Indian looks like right? I guess not since you’re over here saying she looks Indian. You’re so annoying, gtfo. Mixed people are not black, so fuck off asshole.
p.s. forgot to say that people always say Halle Berry looks black and Indian but she’s not. Just bc someone doesn’t look the way you want them to doesn’t mean they aren’t that ethnicity.
@WTF I am part native American Indian born in South America. Trust me you dumb bitch, I know what black and native Asian Indian mixtures look like, its my family.
@WTF, you loser and self hater ALL black are mixed. Too bad if you have to be black.
@WTF Yes Halle Berry does not look half white and black to me, she looks typically how people look when they are part Indian (from India) and Black African. Or Halle looks East African/South African to me.
You’re obviously a troll so I’m not going to waste any more of my precious time. Idk what generation you grew up in, but more mixed people are identifying as mixed instead of black. Fuck the one drop rule, I don’t go by it. I don’t look black either, I look mixed and so do many other mixed people. Stop claiming mixed people as black. Why do black people love to claim mixed people as black? All the mixed celebrities represent the black community, but most blacks don’t look like Alicia Keys, Halle Berry, Thandie Newton, Paula Patton, Christina Millian, etc…. You can tell they’re mixed. I’m not a self-hater, I just like acknowledging my other side. I’m not just black and I don’t look just black.
@WTF, I assure you I AM NOT A TROLL. That’s what you have to say when its obvious that you’ve lost the argument. Sorry lol. Get some black history and hang out with some black people, its obvious that you are waaaay out of touch.
@WTF, where I come from, there is 100 times more race admixtures than in America. So I have seen racial combinations of every kind. At the end of the day , if you look any trace of black that’s how you will be treated all over the world, so its not point wasting time arguing about percentages. There is a lot of hate and racism in the world to think about.
@midori29- Actually I said that because I don’t give a shit about what you have to say. You are so blind to your ignorance and stupidity. Other people have called you out on this as well, but you can’t get it through your skull. Just stop while you’re ahead. At the end of the day, I will do whatever I want. I will call myself mixed if I want, and quite frankly I could care less what anyone else says. I know who I am. You can claim mixed people as black, but I won’t.
@WTF, I am African (majority), Native Indian Arawak, East Indian (india), and Portuguese mixed
@WTF It’s obvious that you’d encountered a problem with ‘black’ people. I have a mix friend, he’s black and German. And I’m of Afro-Carribean. To society, I would be black, but I’m not. I have plenty of other races in my veins with a dark-brown complexion while he is a light tan.
I remember when he thought I liked listening to rap and wearing Jordans and Nike’s. Lol. But I am the complete opposite. We eventually became friends and that day he discovered that ‘appearance isn’t everything’. You can look like something but really isn’t.
My mix friend looks like the typical mix boy. xD Light tan skin with curly hair and will go on the white side because they ‘appear’ to be superior. Knowing well white people aren’t.
The only thing that looks mix about me are my eyes. And that’s about it. Someone even said I look like a darker Asian. And people ask me if I was mix or not. Are you getting it?
Just because Halle Berry want to be in the black community, doesn’t mean she hates her other side. Being proud and being insecure are two different things. I advise to look at this video and even download it. You will learn a lot.

Thank you. :) Oh, and I’ve been reading your comments on other people ethnic pages for years now and you should be happy I took the time to reply, right? Like, I finally have time.
@WTF Right you go why don’t you stop bullying people why can’t leave people alone if you can’t say anything nice don’t say nothing at all i want you this leave website please and never comeback your not welcome here.
Black/Asian? bahahaha, no. She’s a mulatto through and through. Most Cubans are mixed with European and African. All Latin-Americans are mixed to some degree, there are no pure white or black Latin-Americans. She is mixed, period. And that’s why she’s hot.
She isn’t Afro Cuban she’s African American.
She’s not of African-American descent.
She is 100% Cuban
Everyone google West African Taureg women, whom are considered subsaharan black women. The are very diverse and gorgeous. Fulanis, igbos too.

she definitely does not look pure african, she looks quite significantly white, i suggest her ethnicity be changed to just cuban (even though cuban isn’t an actual ethnicity) or the entry should just be deleted from the site
yeah it’s a joke
You’ve not gone nearly far enough, J.J. I think ethnicelebs should also issue a public press release to apologize, and perhaps offer rebates to those members of the public who were particularly upset.
I think the make-up she wears changes everything.

She’s deff a mulatto. Her face looks very mulatto. I have a biracial cousin who looks like Christina.
@Follers, I think pretty black African descent women, who acknowledge that they are, seems to make people upsett. TOO FREAKIN BAD, lol. And she only dates Black rappers. The blackest mwwwaaaahhhh lol.
@JJ there are many many East Africans that look like Christina. People box black Africans into one look and its untrue. SHE LOOKS BLACK to me. Black is very very diverse. The most diverse race on earth.
looks mulatta, not east african
Lol, when she says “East African” she just means Horn Africans (Ethiopians and Somalians) who are generally Caucasoid in morphology themselves due to significant Semitic admixture.
They have Caucasoid physiognomy traits for a valid reason. Why is that? Cause they’re mixed with Semitic Caucasoids, as corroborated by genetic studies.
Purebred Negroids don’t have Caucasoid traits, obviously this girl (whom I have no idea is by the way) shows discernible Caucasoid admixture and looks more admixed than the average African-American, who is usually 20-25% European.
Either way she doesn’t even look Horn African too.
First off what’s an example of a “Pure Bred Negroid”. Are Woddabe/Fulani/Fulbe? Are Dinka in the Sudan…who are pitch black but can have dark blue eyes and striking features. Ethiopians and Somali people are different from each other. Ethiopia was an empire that lasted from the B.C. to 1974 and never was colonized by Euros. Yemen was once a part of the empire Abyssinia but there have always been very diverse tribes in Ethiopia. Somalis are generally much darker than Ethiopians with close genetic ties with Tuareg,Amazigh and Beja. Are San Bushman with their reddish skin “Negroid”. Sometimes Anthropologists or students of the subject come across as scientific racists. Always getting social terms confused with supposedly stereotypical phenotypes.
@Check 7t, again you need to do your research Horn Africans are NOT Caucasoid in morphology, HORN Africans are the oldest people on earth and they looked like they do way before “caucasoids were inhabiting he earth. Horn Africans are black Africans just like the rest of the black Africans, And they are the oldest Africans on earth. Older scientists incorrectly labeled horn Africans as caucasoids in the past just to alleniate Africans and promote racism. But Horn Africans are black Africans and not Caucasoid anything.
I don’t think Horn of Africans look predominantly Caucasoid at all, they’re mixed. I’ve known plenty of them and they all look somewhere between African and Semitic.
LOL all y’all niggas who giving this “midori” bitch are dumb af. Just ignore the trick, she’s always saying mixed people look just black when obviously they ain’t just black. Heffa sit down, you’re making yourself sound like complete moron. I would never mistake Christina for black, so stfu bitch. Stop claiming mixed people as black, it’s fucking annoying and rude. I would never say I’m black, I’m mixed so fuck you and all the other Afrocentric asshats.
@WTF you have real issues that need psychiatric assistance, seriously, its not that serious for you to curse and act crazy. its just a basic discussion. WOW
@midori29 I was thinking the same thing..it’s not that serious. Actually it’s not serious at all..calm down!!
Ok she’s not mixed, she’s not Black..She’s Chinese!
@WTF Who gives a shit..lol
@wamzy: Nigga have a fucking seat. NO ONE tells me wtf to do. I do whatever the fuck I want on my own watch so hop off bitch. I fucking HATE keyboard warriors. Y’all thinking you’re tough and shit, but in reality you’re fucking cowards. Fuck off asswipe!
You are getting banned for your trolling And constant hate.
@jj I think you are only thinking about West Africa. And I can show you Africans that look like her. Even in West Africa. There are only 3 races. Caucasoid, Africoid ( includes Australoid, Capoid, negritos) and Mongoloid. So yes out of all three she would most resemble BLACK Africans.
Australoids are not Negroids nor do they have anything in common genotypically with Negroids, as of matter fact they’re the least genetically related to Negroids, they cluster in the closest to Polynesian and Asian populations.
Australoid is a different morphology from Negroid.
“Australoids” cluster genetically with Oceania and with some Andaman Islanders the Ainu indigenous to Japan. Physically they look stereotypical African. Australoids were considered “Negroids” up until the late 19th/early 20th century. They are just as “black” as afro americans…ask an Australian Aboriginal. They identity themselves socially “black”. There also many in parts of Yemen and Saudi.
“physically they look stereotypical African”
How can you say Australian Aboriginals look African? They don’t look like any African ethnic groups, maybe some Papuans do, but there is diversity amongst Australoids.
No, genetically they are not as “black” as African-Americans, even if some do look black, structurally they are different as well as in terms of genome.
Some Middle Eastern/North Africans can ‘look white’ all while being genotypically different than Europeans.
Aboriginals (generally) do not identify as “black”, as it would not make sense phenotypically or genetically. Some Papuans can look “black” but structurally and genetically, there’s a still difference.
@memphis, obviously when I say “purebred Negroid” I’m referring to 100% SSA Negroids, completely not admixed with any other groups. Nowhere in Sub-Saharan Africa do people exhibit Caucasoid traits (so it’s not a case of an odd convergent evolutionary trait) without Caucasoid admixture. Horn Africans (lots of them) are morphologically Caucasoid due to Semitic Caucasoid admixture. All peer-reviewed scientific journal studies on these confirm this Semitic gene flow. They exhibit Caucasoid traits due to Caucasoid admixture and become lots are Caucasoid structurally, it’s not a cause of “scientific racism” but a structural fact in terms of biology. Forensics identifies race skulls (Caucasoid, Negroid, etc) in deceased remains, terms like “white” are socially constructed with conventional standards and some biological reality, but the fact is purebred Negroids do not exhibit Caucasoid traits without Caucasoid admixture. You see Russians and Finns with Mongoloid traits (some) due to Mongoloid admixture. Either way, back to the initial topic, this girl Christina Milan obviously exhibits Caucasoid traits due to Caucasoid ancestry, which would be overwhelmingly European since she’s from the New World.
Aboriginals DO NOT look African, like at all. Dark skin doesn’t = African looking.
@Check 7t, you need to do your research, recent scientists have determined that Australoids ARE related to African negroids. Google it
Check7t, that’s the reason you sound like a “scientific racist” because you want to put African natives in a box. You obviously know nothing of indigenous Australians fight for civil rights. Like African Americans , indigenous Australians are very mixed when they used to be pitch black with wavy hair. However many identify socially “black”. You also know nothing about Sub Saharan African, who have almost every Y dna Haplogroup (A,B,DE, variants of E,J etc) genetic group and can have a variety of looks. Russians would have some Asian admixture since much of Russia is in Asia. If by Negroid, you mean big nose and big lips, you would find that Fulani,many Kenyans,Wooddabe and many others don’t look that way. Btw, yes Christina Milan has some Spanish ancestry (as do I) but identify as AA and Afro Cuban. To be “BLACK” isn’t about color of skin but culture, language and shared stories of perseverance. I’m “BLACK” but have Cuban, Middle Eastern, and Finnish ancestry. Brazilian Samba singer, Nenguin Beja day Flor, is dark as hell (meaning black skin) but his genetic results had him 61%Euro and 31% African.
I meant Neguinho da Beija Flor. Looks “BLACK” but genetically 67.1% Euro, 31.5% African and 1.4% Native. Christina is featured on a YouTube doc “Black and Latino”.
You’re just another Afrocentrist nut.
@jj most bla ks in the Carribean and America are not pure black. Even white Americans are not pure white. Compare white Americans to white Europeans. They dont look the same , 7 times out of ten.
@JJ, I do not see anything significantly white about her. If there is another race to argue mix, it would be Asian Indian NOT white.
Of course she has white in her, she’s Cuban. All Cuban blacks have white in them and a large percentage of Cuba is mulatto. She looks totally mulatto. I would know because I have mulatto people in my family and they look like Christina.
Of course she has white in her, she’s Cuban. All Cuban blacks have white in them and a large percentage of Cuba is mulatto.
