This is wrong. Halsey’s father is half African American and half Irish American. Her paternal grandmother is a European American (White)
No Halseys dad is t half he is African American. He is black
Wrong. @Tlvierha is correct. Her father is biracial. Halsey is definitely less than a quarter black.
@italiano90
LMFAO, Her father looks 50-60 % African at least, Halsey most likely 25-30 % African, I know that’s hard for you to accept that someone heavily mixed with African like Halsey could look very white even Whitter than many Italians, Lol.
Metrics system…LOL.
Spot on.

Richard Jacobs (maternal grandfather) was the son of Steve Jacobs (1920-2003) and Lorraine Alice Christoff (1925-1990). Steve was the son of Hungarian parents Frank Joseph Jakab Sr. (1872-1927) and Maria Takacs (1877-1963)

So what was her Hungarian ancestors’ background? ethnic Hungarian?
Takács is an ethnic Hungarian surname. I will look more into it though
Idk if she’s really Hungarian at all… https://twitter.com/halsey/status/1271524914063790080?s=21
Apparently she’s https://twitter.com/halsey/status/1271527013166145536?s=21
She’s definitely Hungarian.
Oh, goodness. You’d think this far into commercial DNA tests people would already know – since it’s warned time and time and time again – that you’re not supposed to take the regions in these tests to literally without also backing it up with genealogical evidence.
My first AncestryDNA results showed me having 3% Caucasus, which is ridiculous. Subsequent updates never showed that region, again.
She is surely and significantly Hungarian.

You like to comment a lot, but your English is basically unintelligible. If you need to use an online translator, please do that.
LOL. Respect for non-English speakers come on..
