Earl was the son of Joseph LaBeaf, whose parents were French-Canadian, and of Emma Sawyer. Josephine was born in California, the daughter of Italian parents, Giuseppe Biscotto and Marina Lauria, from Salina, one of the Aeolian Islands north of Sicily.

people PUERTO RICAN IS A NATIONALITY! you can be Chinese and be Puerto Rican (many Chinese immigrants reside there). Jennette’s mom is obviously a White Puerto Rican of probably German, Corsican, or Irish descent. I have a large proportion of family who are Puerto Rican from my father’s side and when I go to visit Puerto Ric every spring break, if you go to the northeastern side of the island you will see redheaded green-eye or blond haired blue-eyed fair skinned Puerto Ricans WHO ARE SPEAKING SPANISH TO ONE ANOTHER!!! Puerto Rico is and extremely diverse place with many different shades of colors and descendants of immigrants from around the world. I hate how people assume that a Puerto Rican has to have dark brown or black curly hair, big brown eyes, curvy body and a caramel skin tone. thes stereotypes need to stop.

She is half Puerto Rican, many websites state it. I know she doesnt look it, its because she takes after her dad in the Irish looks. But if you look up Jennette’s mom, you can tell shes puerto rican. I have no idea who erased the puerto rican, but I definitely didnt!
There are a lot of Puerto Ricans of Irish descent, maybe her mom has some Irish blood too? It would explain a lot, imo.
Why Did You Erase The Puerto Rican?
Just Because She Does Not Look Puerto Rican, Doesn’t Mean She Isn’t! Haven’t We Discuss So Many Times!
