She looks nothing like a West African Negroid.

She can pass for African-American. In the West Coast rarely do you run into "Afro-Latinos".

The woman is probably Somali, not Ethiopian.

To untrained eye of someone who's not familiar with Horners she may look black before something else.

That woman is black as she is Sub-Saharan African.

Probably not. Somalis are strict Muslims, Ethiopians are usually Christian or only moderately Muslim. So, she's likely Ethiopian.

You could be right but islamic radicalism in Somalia is more recent. There many Somalis in Italy since the end of WW II and I've never heard or read of strict muslims among them.

In some websites the family in the pic is described as a couple half Somali and half Belgian.

Probably black. A lot of black Americans are Euro-admixed enough to display vaguely similar features (except maybe the hair texture, which often remains nappy).

Eloganted Aethiopid type. Could be mistaken for some South Asian Tamil.

Looks like either Indian or black. I had a friend like that thought he was black but was indian.

She'd be considered a "minority" who needs a free phone and food stamps to make up for the oppressions n' sheet. That's what this country's about.

Yes, she looks Somalian which often people look Indian.

South Indian. Though she would be a the most "African looking" end of that.

Why would she be considered Hispanic or Indian?

In order:

As Indian, then hispanic (afro latina) then Afram for the untrained/ ignorant eye.
