Shes obviously a mestizo mix ,her ethnic appearance or exotic looks may be perceived of black ancestry but is the product of “white” not anglo per say,instead roman blood through her Spanish ancestry & taino natives in Puerto rico.
She is black white and native Indian and she does have indigenouse eyes and a black girls nose and a little in her mouth and the chicken legs are all black white might be her skin color and the color of her eyes but even the shape of her face is native the only Latinas that have that voluptuous bilt have black in them or do you guys think it comes from the natives the natives have horrible body’s and white girls like me don’t have that big but with chicken legs
correction; her eyes are forest green (green w brown)
correction; her eyes are hazel (light brown) and her hair is dark brown (brunette) I think it should be listed
She looks heavily Amerindian influenced. Her sister looks definitely mestiza. I think Jennifer Lopez probably has African in her too. What else is new.
her sister looks even whiter than her without the fake tan/makeup/photoshop. About Lopez family, her dad is white, no doubt about that, her mom has amerindian heritage
Her sister looks “less exotic” and obviously European influenced.
@andrew
( her dad is white, no doubt about that)
Now how many times have you been shown, that obviously white on the outside,doesn’t mean anything.I could show you some more white/black’s if you want.Now I’m not saying he isn’t completely Euro,just saying
( her mom has amerindian heritage)
Maybe not as much as you might think.Remember Michelle Rodriguez looks like she’s completely native(or what one might think one looks like),however she’s only 4% while being mostly euro and black
must have done another test,now it’s 6% native
