Puerto rican and Jamaican aren’t a ethnic…when will you learn?
Both Puerto Rican and Jamaican are ethnicities.
bahahaha, nope! learn history!
I don’t need to, this has nothing to do with history. They match the definition of an ethnicity. The fact that their ancestry is (most often) a mix of other ethnicities doesn’t change this fact.

Agreed
I do notice that being admixed with Irish tends to lighten up people alot. Alot of Irish are super pale and lack melanin ie. Lots of redheads not counting the “black Irish” . Compared to other white Europeans the Irish tend to be very white. So mixtures with Irish come out very white looking. Mariah Careys mom is Irish too. But then many black Jamaicans have Irish admixture too. There is an Irish town in Jamaica and they had Irish slavery in the Carribean. I would give this girl about 25 to 30%black subsaharan admixture.
