Hispanics are very diverse in looks. Some look white, brown, light tan, Asian and etc. I dated a white hispanic girl that had blonde hair. You could drop her off in a white city and nobody would ever know she's Hispanic.

Just because you have black in you means that you are dark.

It doesn't mean that you are dark
chriscdi

no its cause you are puerto rican, usually puerto ricans have a dark tan, its one of the big giveaways of a puerto rican
Asker

Well i dont im tan not every person who is mix with black is dark that is racist.
chriscdi

i dont think you know the definition of racist, racism is when someone has hatred towards a specific race only because they are that specific race, you dont see me insulting your race now do you?

Just because i said that i was mix with black you automatically assume that i was dark Im not dark so i have a right to get offended for you getting my complexion wrong. You dont ever see light skin black people.
chriscdi

1 mo
i do see light skin black people, and no i didn't say it because you are part African, i asked because you were puerto rican, not only that if people are confusing you as a pakastanian chick then i assumed it was most likely cause of your skin color, i was just asking, no need to get offended

Just here to say that what he said is defiently not racist.
What he said wasn't antagonizing nor prejudiced.

@DesolateRain yeah but that is just your opinion because not everyone who has African ancestry in them is dark. Puerto rican people do have African blood in them Jennifer Lopez isn't dark. Im just saying that assuming that someone is dark just because they are mix with black is being too bias. Pakistan people come in all shades not just light or dark. To me that is being racist just assuming what someone looks like just because of my racial background.

@DesolateRain and plus this is an a and b conversation i dont know why you are butting in. I knew better than to say that i had African ancestry in my blood because of the kinds of response people give a lot of people who are hispanic have African ancestry in the. Hispanic isn't a race it is made up of different cultures mainly spainish and native American and probably Portuguese people from spainish speaking countries may have some African dna and places from other European places in them. Im just mad at the fact how he said that i must be dark when i said that i had some African ancestry in me. African americans themselves can be light look at mariah carey zendaya Nicole richie and hasley you see how light there are. Racial background has nothing to do with your skin color. I just wish that people werent so stupid when it came to identifing someone. Not all Puerto ricans look the same neither do all indians have the same skin color.

It is still frustrating that people dont know that after generations due to slavery there has been race mixing. It isn't going to be guarantee what you are going to look like nowadays. Some genes come more domiant than others in people. There be two dark skin black people that has a light skin baby.
