Apparently, she's gotten dragged on Twitter for saying "nigga" but claims she has a black ancestor.

How would you classify her personally?

lol she obviously identifies as Latina and Timer67 thinks she identifies as black. I bet her Cuban side are white Cubanos.

Saying she has a black ancestor doesn't mean she identify as black.
Not even Dominicanos identify as black and want nothing to do with African-Americans imagine someone with a white Cuban parent.

If she doesn't want people thinking she's white, she shouldn't dye her hair.

Also, she's an 1/6 - 1/16 black.

She doesn't "identify as black" she is just evoking the SSA ancestry she may have as a Latina to justify herself using racist language that she should not be using.

she probably identifies as black because she was raised among the black community, grew up among them, around afro-latino caribbean culture, probably prayed to orisha gods like most cubans do etc
you cant base it simply because of a word, there is more to it than just that, it all comes down who you grew up around
looking at her social media, you can clearly see shes been around the black community since day one

I don't care. She looks black to me, TBH. I'm just saying that if she has that marginal look, and she wants people to believe she's black, she shouldn't dye her hair blond. It's a contradiction.
