the hispanics of spanish decent are considered white but most hispanics have more african american decent. Thats why alot of cuban, puerto ricans, and mexicans are dark skined. For example: adrien bailon, christina millian, george lopez, and paige hurd.
no, just no.
the “medium” tone or brown skin seen in what most would call “mexicans” is a result of indigenous mixing with white spaniards. not sub-saharan africans
(also why would you call them african-american if they weren’t from america? and don’t say they were from the americas, since african-american is a US term applied to those of sub-saharan african descent whose ancestors came/were taken over here many generations back, and as a result are a distinct group culturally and genetically.)
now, in countries like jamaica, dominican rep, haiti, there was enough sub-saharan people that those hispanics are often “dark” tone or black skinned.
99% of Hispanics aren’t white.
Firstly, Hispanic is used to refer to people specifically from Latin America, who speak Spanish.
Most Latin Americans are mixed race (usually, European, African and Indigenous). Some look more white, black or Indiegenous, while others look mixed.
Most Hispanics may socially identify as white, but in reality, they are mixed race. The U.S., unlike Latin America, doesn’t recognze mixed race people, and furthermore, the censuses are based on SELF-identification not genetic or even phenotype.
Bottomline: once most Hispanics may identify themselves as white, they are INDEED mixed race, genetically.
what does anything hispanic have to do with justin bieber? lol
EVERYBODY has mixed race, even if it’s from the very bottom of their roots, we all have different races. and 99% of hispanics aren’t “dark” if that’s the case then I’d say the 50% but not 99% at all
@danae
Now Now,she didn’t say they were dark,she just said they weren’t white.Now she’s right,they do self Id the way they want to,doesn’t mean that’s truly what they are.Now that 99% white,between me and you,I think someone is lying
i think instead of condemming this kid for making something of his life you should go back to school and learn how to spell properly you have way to much time on your hands and should be more concerned with the things you do instead of him and i dont think he would sit and read this and cry he could probably not give a rats ass about your opinion of him so a piece of advice get alife
” correction ”
he’s Jewish and German

how can he be jewish? he said he was catholic
I don’t like that all he sings about is love, he’s 16. He doesn’t know what true love is, he’s lusting over girls. He should be singing about getting his drivers license, playing video games, sneaking out of his house to go to parties or whatever you get my point. All he sings about is love and he doesn’t even know one ounce of what true love is. Usher is transforming him to a minnie-Usher. Ugh, so sad.
