what I ment to say was he looks like he’s mix with northern european because he looks more nordic. spanish people look like there mix with arab or native american.
Wrong. Let’s get this straight: Spaniards do not look Arab at all. Berber, yes. Big difference. Have you been to Spain? Most Spaniards/Portuguese are very western European looking and can look nordic or alpine as well.
As for Pitbull, yes he is ethnically an Iberian (Spanish/Portuguese) that much is obvious. I have lived in Spain and Portugal since my mom is Portuguese and Armando’s look in both countries is common.
you need to go back to special ed.
Pitbull is a white Cuban. He looks more Galician, and seeing that Galician was the largest group of immigrants to Cuba from Spain, it all makes sense. He doesn’t look mixed at all. He looks entirely like a Spaniard, in particular a Galician. But I’m sure he may have other types of Spanish ancestry, maybe like Asturian or Canarian, but maybe not. But he sure does look Galician. Northern Spanish. Cubans are either white, black or mulatto. The natives died off from disease and warfare to almost nothing. He is white, end of story. Cuba was like the U.S. before the 60’s, where there were whites, blacks and mulattoes. That’s pretty much it. He is a white person. But of a Spanish speaking background, not an English speaking one.
He is the same race as a white American, but just of former Spanish colony, not a former British one like the U.S.. Europeans entered every country in the Americas. Cuba was 74% whites one year before Castro, then Castro started implementing communism and taking peoples’ business and land and assets, and there was white flight of the island to the U.S., in particularly Florida and New Jersey. Because of white flight of the island, today only 37% of Cuba consists of whites. But an overwhelming number of Cubans and Cuban-Americans in the U.S. are white. Actually 85% of Cubans and Cuban-Americans combined in the U.S. are whites. This matches up with the white flight of the island and the decreased percentage of whites in Cuba today.
He looks like a suspicious mulatto. Spaniards usually look like Antonio Banderas or Gerard Pique. Pitbull looks like neither.
he looks more white then most spaniards
You think too much about skin color and not enough about bone structure and facial features.
he’s bone structure looks european. like say irish or english. spaniards bone structure and facial features look semite like arab or jewish. like antonio and paul gasol.
People think he looks like a mulatto, and you are contradicting yourself. Even if he is white, he is still of Spanish descent much like Antonio Banderas and Pau Gasol.
Both his parents are white European.
your right. but there’s some spaniard that don’t see him as spanish because they say he acts with no class.
Lopac, stop making stuff up!
hey ETHNIC would you please blocked this demented person. just like you blocked me. some times he’s dolphin other time his roger. he only writes retarded stuff.
I think he’s retarted.
You only write retarded stuff, Nordicist. Wasn’t that you the other day who wrote that only the Anglos are white? That means only the English are white, dumbass. Go back to school!
HIS MOM LOOKS LATINA
BUT HIS
DAD LOOKS LIKE A WHITE GUY EUROPEAN
I THINK
HIS DAD DIED
There is no “Latina” look. Do you mean that look that many Mexicans have? That look of those brown people is a race called mestizo, which is a mixed race of Native American/white mixed. I can assure you that his mother is not a mestiza, because the natives in Cuba died off very early from disease and warfare. Cuba was less than 1% native American after that. It’s more probable for his mother to be descended from Spaniards fully. There are Europeans that some people could mistake as “Latinos” like some Spaniards, some Italians, some Portuguese, some French, some Greeks, etc.
If Sylvester Stallone wasn’t famous and we saw him on the street, and I told you he was named Estefan Estevez, you would say he looked “Latino”. Basically because he doesn’t look Nordic, he looks Mediterranean. One could say Burt Reynolds looks “Latino” if one thought he was Hispanic. One could say the same about Emeril Lagasse. These are all examples of Mediterranean phenotype white people. I’ve seen pics of Pitbull’s mother, she looks like a Mediterranean white European woman. She does NOT look brown or like a mestiza at all. She looks like a white woman with dark hair. If I thought she was an American, I’d maybe think Italian American or French American. She definitely looks like a white European. Like a Spaniard. Please educate yourself. Non-Nordic European doesn’t equal a “Latino” look.
NO
LATINOS COME FROM AFRICAN TAINO AND EUROPEAN
RACE WITH BROWN SKIN
