Tatyana Ali is an American actress, model, and R&B singer. She is known for playing Ashley Banks on the television series The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Her father, Sheriff Ali, is of East Indian ancestry, from Trinidad and Tobago. Her mother, Sonia, is of African-Panamanian heritage. Panamanians are made up of predominantly mixed Amerindian and Spanish ethnicities, otherwise referred to as Mestizo. Her sister is television producer Anastasia N. Ali.
Ali speaks Spanish fluently, and some Hindi.
Tatyana is married to educator Vaughn Rasberry, with whom she has two children.
Her father is Trini Indian. 40% of people in Trinidad of Asian Indian ancestry, originating in India.
Why doesn’t this say Afro-Panamanian and Indo-Trinidadian…or Trini Indian? BTW, Trini Indians ARE West Indian. There are Panamanians of African descent who are not of West Indian heritage, and “West Indian” does not automatically mean that someone is of African descent.
She doesn’t look fully black -no way.
Id have to agree.
Her mom prolly is an Afro-Panamanian
She looks black.
blasian people tend to look more black than asian
you think so? how bout Jasmine? Shes half Black and looks Asian IMO

To ethnic
That’s a good one,she tricked me
i am talking about the darker skin tone they usually get the asian facial features.
but isn’t that just like a black person who lives their life as a white person.Sure you see people like tiger all the time,but what about the ones like jasmine,who look like a regular asian.There most likely million of them who you never know were half black
And Kimora Lee Simmons. Before I knew much about her, I thought she was just dark-skinned East Asian. Most of the time, she really doesn’t look Black at all to me. But the thing is, I really don’t think Aoki or Ming look Asian.
That Is So Incorrect… If U Mean Indian, Afghanistan etc, Then Ur Probably Right….But If Your Referring To Blasian People That Are Of East Asian Descent Then They Tend To Look Both East Asian And Black Or Look More East Asian Or Have The East Asian Look Then Black!
Look At Tomika Skanes, Lashantae Heckard, Tyga, Chanel Iman, P. Diddy’s Baby Mama, Tiger Woods, Will Demps, Amerie, Denyce Lawton, And I Can’t Forget To Mention Kimora Lee Simmons…
Your Right That There Are Some People With East Asian Parents, Grandparents, Or Great Grandparents That May Not Look East Asian…
But Too Be Honest, And This Is My Opinion, The Strongest East Asian Gene I Have Ever Seen Against A Black Person, Or Anyother Ethnicity Is Korean!
