Regarding Gloria Estefan’s hair, Mediterrenean people have curly hair too. Curly hair is everywhere, not just in Africa. This means any country like Spain,France, Italy anywhere. Plus any other country where people where part of the Roman Empire.
you people need to cut the denial out,you know where that curly hair comes from,their black bloodline.Also if you arab,then you should know they have strong black bloodlines to
Your stupid. I am fully European from Eastern EUrope and many many girls here and in other European countries have curly hair. Get your afrocentric crap off of here.
Then, that menas that Nicole Kidman is part African?
Then, that menas that Nicole Kidman is part black?
Her maternal grandparents are Leonardo Garcia, who emigrated to Cuba from Pola de Siero, Asturias, Spain, where he married Gloria’s maternal grandmother, originally from Logroño,La Rioja, Spain……
first spaniards aren’t pure white,they have a black bloodline and you know this.So them coming from spain doesn’t maen jack.Next where gloria did father side come from?
Then, following your logic. Most europeans are not fully white
I believe Gloria Estefan’s parents are from Cuba mixed with African. Look at her curly hair!
LOL What? The only way a person can have curly hair is to have African in them? Look at Nicole Kidman’s natural curly hair. I doubt she has any African in her (though I could be wrong since I don’t know her ancestry).
To So
Oh there a real good chance she’s mix with African
yea she could be african too because alot of cubans are mixed with african
there was a large influx of spanish immigration to cuba in the 1920s you can’t generalize. Many americans are mixed with black but we do not say all white americans are mixed with black
well that’s ture,but cuba is a little different than the states.The odd are good that she does have it,and there’s nothing wrong with that
She is also Spanish her mom’s family is Spanish… look on wikipedia it has sources… =/
what about her fathers side
