Why do some people online say Cardi B isn't black

[Homey the clown]

I don't get it, she clearly looks like a black girl, in fact she looks more black then she looks Hispanic. Yeah I know Hispanic is not a race but Cardi B has more black facial features then what most people would think a average would have.When people of Latinos they think of someone who looks like George Lopez or Jennifer Lopez.

 

[Shadow King]

Partially because of not liking her and partially because of the stereotype/reality of Dominicans not always identifying as/with Black.

I don't care for her too much but I don't say she isn't Black.

 

[Henri Christophe]

[Lewis Black]

...i remember cardiB when she was taking 3 doo-doos a day, and telling the world about it on the gram. she was classy back then

 

[BruhManFromTheFifthFlo]

Because she ain't, nor does she ever claim to be

Y'all keep trying to claim her, though. Don't get mad when ya little feelings get hurt

It's weirdos like you who try to claim someone is black when, the person themselves don't even acknowledge they black.

If I walked past her down the street even if she wasn't famous, I wouldn't even consider her black.

 

[GreatestLaker]

Have you seen her parents? She isn't black.

 

[SlimeyLilDude]

Because she successful. They hate to see black succesful people dominating so they say "Why black ppl like her and embrace her so much shes not even black so its not a win for black ppl". But the haters that want to claim she not black so bad still got to take the L because if shes dominician she still about to marry black dude.

I would consider her and her sister afro Latina

Cardi & her sister are definitely Afro-Latina. Folks trying to claim they're not black is some obvious reverse colorism bullshyt.

in fact she looks more black then she looks Hispanic.

Hispanic is not a race/phenotype.

Wtf yes she does claim to be black .
Y'all reach

 

[luckyse7enz]

She's told she's not black because she wants to embrace her blackness...

...but if she was against being black, the same people telling her she's not black would be telling her that she needs to realize that she's black too.

Get it?
