she says she’s black hispanic and thats whats put in her Wikipedia as well. not every single light skinned person of spanish heritage thinks their ethnicity is just spanish, so she was raised with the knowledge of the history behind her family and what their ethnicity and history is. if she says shes black hispanic and the family says their black hispanic y go crazy about it? at least they know what and who they are and where they come from.
I’m confused why they put afrocuban I mean clearly if she has Cuban ancestry though goes without saying that she’s mixed with African and Spanish so I hate when they hyphenate and add “Afro” to nations where 1/2 the people or more have African ancestors. I hate that America’s racial classification system is influencing and changing other countries
Some Cubans are primarily African, with smaller traces of admixture, the ones who have African black in majority are called Afro-Cubans.
