has this guy made a record
I thought he was full White. Hmmmm interesting indeed that he has latino in him. You cant always judge race on color of skin….
selena he is full white cant you see?
so since your name is Selena Garcia-Martinez, im guessing you’re either a spaniard or hispanic from latin america? how could you think latino is a race and not a culture? lmao
Ha ha ha I’m so mortified I thought for sure he was just completely white. He looks white though hmm….the puerto rican in him must be greatly deluded I bet he’s such a low percentage of hispanic.
jasmine have you ever met a real puerto rican do a little research about where puerto ricans came from
That’s weird, my grandmother was Puerto Rican on my dad’s side too.
Congrats For Winning American Idol!
