She’s either fully white
Or Castiza
Cause her mom is just white born to parents who came from europe
Not sure about her dad though

She doesn’t look like a white woman. Are you blind? She looks mixed with Native American and black. She’s not a white Puerto Rican and definitely wouldn’t be mistaken for one.
i didn’t say she looks white
i said her mom is full white from europe
so she is either 50 percent white or more
I think many whites have made her an honorary white person in thier minds. But thier is definitely black admixture there, you can see it.
It doesn’t mention her father’s because Jennifer tends to hide her blackness. He also looks a bit Asian or Native
Her mom looks part African actually, like a mullatta
Picture of Jennifer with her mom. her mom does not look fully white at all. People get confused with makeup, and lighting. Plus hair straightener.

@Thomas1987 Puerto Ricans are majority half black and white, the Indians died out. The large Taino admixture is a myth.
Another forum guessed Jennifers racial background as, I agree
55% European, 30% Negro and 15% Native American.
@thomas1987 there are very very few fully white Puerto Ricans and Jenniffer is not one of them.
Her dad is deffinatly white

Her dad is white but Jennifers mom is African admixed, like a quadroon. 1/4th black.
Or mullato close to 50% black mom
I heard her parents are 100% European ancestry.people from Puerto Rico can be of any race as it is in the Americas
Doubt it. Her face looks like a mestizo with some possible afro thrown in. No person from Spain has her facial features.
Her face doesn’t look mestiza at all, purebred 50/50 mestizas/mestizos look much more Amerindian influenced.
See real mestizas:

Look at Benjamin Bratt, he’s a real mestizo. She could pass in Spain and Pepe Reina (Spanish Soccer player) has a wife who looks just like her tbh.
See:

Her father is very white looking and resembles Anthony Hopkins, her mom looks like mixed, but Jennifer could still pass in Spain.
She doesn’t look white. And you cherry picked the most ugliest Mestizos who are most likely predominantly Amerindian.

Jennifer definately is mixed. (with Taino Amerindian and African probably)
And why do Mestizos have to look “more Amerindian”?
Patricia Velasquez is mostly Amerindian.

And half Native North Americans can look very white like Kaniehtiio Horn (half Mohawk half Scottish/German)

Lol no, she looks mixed. She’s not a Mestizo, but she might be about 20% Native American and 20-30% black. Most Puerto Ricans are mixed.
The afro admixture is about 20% African.
