A lot of Cubans have African blood…even the so-called “Whites”. Pitbull looks like a mullato, he has the craino-structure of one and his nostrils look pretty flaring, like almost flat.
yeah he’s half african, that explains his blue eyes ?
I’ve seen Africans with blue eyes, not really a viable point.

his white great rapper
pitbull his fucking great rapper white man
Pitbull is pretty white, but by society or atleast white society they will never consider him white because he’s not European, or that he’s Latino/Hispanic !
That is nonsence he is Cuban im in Europe i would see him as a Cuban person.We do not use that label as Latino/Hispanic here that is used so much in the US.Just like i would call a person from( Russia ) as Russian ,a person from (America) as American and a person from China (Chineese)a person from (Meixco )as Mexican regardless of skin colour
.People need to understand that the world does not revolve around the label?terms that the US uses
