Sorry but his guy isn’t white by any means. Black people have blue eyes too. Look at Tyra Banks. He’s a light mullato.
u honestly think that tyra banks is just black lol ??? theres no such thing as light skinned african american man thats just a fairy tale black ppl tell themselves in order to feel better . that only means she has some (and its quite a %) caucasian blood along her line. and thats even recent. as for the pitbull he didnt say he was 100% by some foolish US standards he said he is white as in at least mostly white to qualify as a white latino.
lol im white
and a sock
HE’S LATINO.
CUBAN-AMERICAN.
He didnt say he wasnt latino or that he wasnt cuban. he only said racially he is white. so race: white or caucasian in american terms, ethnicity or nationality: cuban and culturally: latino/hispanic. see that wasnt too hard to explain :)
The data in this site is so wrong, i mean ’cause “Cuban” isn’t a “race”, it’s a nationality, i mean, his parents are Cuban, and because of his surname is easy to find out he’s Spanish, that’s his race, i mean, “Cuban” the only race that belongs to Cuba are the Indigenous Cubans.
true but it wasnt called cuba when indians lived there so many ppl count that as former colony still. he probably is spanish by heritage but if they put spanish, ppl might think he was actually from spain :) . get the possible confusion there ?
This page is totally stupid! What is with ppl looking for a fight? What a waste of energy that could be better put to good use actually contributing to the world. As a musician and vocalist, believe me, among musos and singers, Pitbull is not considered talent – he does provide great fodder for entertainment though. He looks vulgar, he curls his lip like he’s got a piece of fishing line pulling on it to make it look like he is talking… He needs to give his grandpa his suit back – and truly, give the man some cough syrup! Eww. Ugggh. Funny how everyone can mouth off about race, intellect, whatever, but as soon as Princess says the truth she is stomped? Doesn’t that tell you something? He’e either an old man pretending to be young (doesn’t work) or he is just Uncle Fester trying to flash it up in a suit! Sitting here taking a break in the studio – room full of different races and musical backgrounds – and yet we all agree Pitbull is just a ‘little’ overrated. But I guess that’s what happens when ppl follow the music they are told to, instead of getting out there and seeing/feeling REAL world music. Damn!
