No offense but the average quandroon is lighter than her,so stfu lopac
she is not black like you.
She is definitely NOT BLACK you idiot. She is so gorgeous and has the perfect figure unlike alot of these plastic females. She is Columbian/white!!
She’s a typical triracial Colombian. A mix of Spanish, Amerindian, and black.
Colombia is its own country, therefore it is it’s own ethnic. Why would an American just be considered white? There’s people from Ireland, Canada, Scotland, France, Paris, and many other places where they are white. Makes no sense not so call them by their country’s title.
