Mariah Carey: People always think "oh shes hispanic' but im a little bit hispanic..."

[Sikeliot]

"The marriage record of Mariah’s paternal grandparents lists Mariah’s grandfather as having been born in Cuba. The 1930 United States Census also lists Roberto Nuñez (then Robert Carey) as having been born in Cuba, to Cuban parents, and as having moved to the United States in 1907. The family may have covered up their background, as some other Cubans did, due to anti-Cuban sentiment in the U.S. The 1930 United States Census lists Roberto’s race as “Negro” (Black)."

because she doesnt look typical mulatta
and she says to be black/irish and a bit hispanic

So people in USA focus on phenotypes inteads of surnames to guess the origin of others?
Come on...

[Sikeliot]

She is just European and African, though some of the African and European are Cuban. There is no Venezuelan, and she is likely not an even mulatta... her dad looks mulatto himself.

She is lying. Her grandfather is not even Venezuelan.. but Cuban. So she is 1/4 Cuban.

She is 1/4 Cuban (race uncertain), 1/4 African American, 1/2 Irish. Any other claim is a lie. It says he is Cuban right there on the records.

Indeed:
" Mariah’s paternal grandfather, Roberto Nuñez (later Robert Carey), was the son of Alfred and Margaret. Roberto is sometimes described as being from a family from Venezuela. Mariah stated in an interview with Latina Magazine, “we don’t know if he was Venezuelan and white or Venezuelan and black… We’re confused”, and also, seemingly speaking about Roberto Nuñez’s father, stated, “apparently he had red hair and freckles, but he could’ve been black or white. We just don’t know”. Mariah stated in the same interview that Roberto’s mother was named Margarita Nuñez, and that Robeto took the surname “Carey” after his own biological father (according to Mariah, Roberto’s parents were not married).
The marriage record of Mariah’s paternal grandparents lists Mariah’s grandfather as having been born in Cuba. The 1930 United States Census also lists Roberto Nuñez (then Robert Carey) as having been born in Cuba, to Cuban parents, and as having moved to the United States in 1907."

I saw a photo once of her grandfather and he looked more European than African to me. But back then, 1/32 African was all it took to be legally black.

she dont look black to me

i consider her dark white as she would be considered in DR blanquita o blanquita oscura

[Sikeliot]

She does not look fully European, but it is not obvious just by looking that her admixture is African. My guess is she is 30% African at most.
