Jennifer Lopez father is not white and neither is her mother. Her mother is tri-racial but more European leaning, and her dad is very similar, but phenotypes vary with admixed tri-racial people. Her dad looked Castizo to nearly Mestizo when he was younger.
She’s Mulatta. Father is white, mother is black. African genes are dominant so she would be classified as Afro Latina.
Her mother is not Black, she looks Biracial (European & African ancestries). His father is White but it’s possible that he has too Tainos ancestries.
charicew And where did you get most of your education from.

I know these pics are from the late 1980s but her nose was definitely bigger and she looks much better with her natural skin tone and brown hair. The orange spray tan she does now days looks so obviously fake and ridiculous.
damn she looks so much whiter here
She looks like Delta Goodrem, who is White.
