is she racially black and asian?


I've seen her in shows and movies and I always thought she was filipino or chinese and then I looked at more pics of her and noticed she is somewhat darker but not that dark. I know Puerto rican isnt a race so I wonder if she's technically black and asian? She looks like a normal filipino or thai woman that is mixed with black.

How about we just call her "Latina" and let it go already. Hispanic culture is a mix of many races. People need to be more concerned with personality and less with race.

she's obviously hispanic, i mean even her last name is rodriguez.

Puerto Rican is indeed a race.

No it isn't. You don't know what you are talking about.

Or black, white and American Indian like the majority of Puerto Ricans are? Why everyone forget what the natives 😖

reply

Puerto Rican is not a race. Claudette Ortiz and Jennifer Lopez are not the same race.

Puerto Ricans are generally a mixture of European, Indigenous and African. Depending on the person the degrees of the mix may vary.

Why don't you come off of your self-righteous high horse? It's okay to be curious about somebody's race.

reply

Agree, she does look partially Asian. At least, she's not what I typically expect a Puerto Rican to look like.

reply

Filipinos, particularly the ones who get media are mostly mixed and not as purely Pinoy you see in the general public. It's similar to how lighter-complected, more European-looking performers in Latin America get higher profile status.
