Is there any census records (or similar) about her mother’s side? And is this her grandmother?:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q23J-6MF4
So her great grand mother was Filipina… making her 1/8th. 12.5 percent. If she was a quarter Maybe her asian ethnicity would’ve been more visible on her facial features.
She has English ancestry as well
Was her Cuban ancestor Spanish-Cuban, Afro-Cuban, or a mixture of both? The reason I ask is because her nose bridge appears to be somewhat flattened which could suggest that she may have some degree of recent non-white heritage.
Her Cuban-born grandmother (whose father was Cuban and whose mother was French) is listed as “White” on a U.S. Census, but that doesn’t completely rule out some African ancestry.
Her nose bridge is just a little thicker… but her beak is still pointy…
Perhaps her aisan ancestry shows their since their noses are broad and flat too…
Ethnicity is “Italian, Caucasian: (!!???)
First off, Italians are Caucasians, and secondly, Caucasian is a racial classification NOT an ethnicity!
Somebody needs to go back to school, or read a book! lol!
your not caucasian just for being italian,or are you under the impression that there are no blacks in italy?
just Caucasian coz her other side wasnt still defined. Now it’s updated
Ziegler: there’s a Swiss footballer with that surname, from Geneva (french-speaking area)
