Her father looks white
I’ve always seen some Asian in her. I’m leaning towards Southeast Asian mixed with typical ‘Hispanic’ traits.
She doesn’t look fully white to me, I could tell she’s mixed. Also with the natural hair she looks much more mixed then right now.
She’s probably like 75% Spanish, 25% Amerindian.
I doubt those amounts. Plus all the DNA results I’ve seen say PR’s are multiethnic(Whte, Black, Amerindian). That’s most likely what she is.
Yeah, African too probably.
There is African in her mix. She straightens her hair, had a nose job and a typical Nigerian body shape.
yes most likely at least 88% BLACK
So she’s super light skinned, eh?
“There is African in her mix. She straightens her hair, had a nose job and a typical Nigerian body shape.”
I think Nigerian women are beautiful, so Jennifer should take that as a compliment.
no if shes white we’ll be pissed off shes ONLY black and indio, too much ignorant here.
Does possibly other mean Portuguese, Brazilian, or African? Just wondering
Other most likely means native south american ethnicities and possibly other european ethnicities like portuguese or italian and maybe even african but brazilian is not an ethnicity.
