  2. Bryan says:

    P.S. not that the facts hinge on my acceptance. He is a white Cuban. Period. Whether anyone else likes it or not. He is Caucasian.

  3. Bryan says:

    Says who? I am white and I accept him as white.

      If you have to say you’re “White”, then you probably aren’t. I know you’re not and Pitbull looks like a suspicious Mullato. He has a thick-nostril nose and a craino-structure of an African (look at he creases on the back of his head). Also, the reason he’s bald is because his hair has kinky texture (like an African). Go on Google and look at pictures of him with hair, and you’ll see him with dreadlocks also.
