    Chile is full of Italian immigrants just like Argentina and a few other areas of South America. For all anyone knows, snookie is a ‘full blooded’ Italian. She says shes never meet her biological parents so no one can say shes 100% ‘spanish’ not even her however I think her features are more european not hispanic. Nobody should even care as race is unimportant and only an issue because racist bigots of all colors keep making it an issue.

      chileans are nothing but Indians just like peruvians,mexicans and bolivians. They think their white just because they are close to Argentina.

      • Hope Moretti says:

        Wow how uneducated. Mexicans are not like peruvians or bolivians. In the North of Mexico you will find a lot of white and tall people. In the South you will find people with more indigenous features. B’tich!

      As an American-Italian who knows people that are 100% Italian and has been to Italy,I can assure you she doesn’t look Italian at all. She doesn’t even look like Pia Toscano. The only similarities they have is that they are dark skinned.

      Ya and for all anyone knows you’re a full-blooded retard. Nice logic. Moron.

    She is not a CELEBRITY. Very dark, ugly, and a pig. No class!!

    Not that it should matter, but why do people argue a person having native, aboriginal, metis, plain first nations descent etc. We are all unique whatever background we come from. Sure spanish is a spoken language in South Amercia. Just like most people speak english in America, does’nt mean we are all english.

    Snooki is a very obvious mestizo.
