Do you think the European immigrants who landed on Ellis Island looked like her ?
That female looks like an East Indian, if anything.

Excatly..who cares? I can't believe this thread is still going. In 25 years, the majority of America will be some shade of brown anyway.

Not all of them...some were elderly people, or adult males, or infants. Some had their hair combed differently than the girl in the photo, and a few were on crutches. Some smiled. Some wore scruffy old clothes and carried cheap suitcases. Probably a lot of them didn't look like her, while many of them probably did.

Even SHE might not 'look like her', if for example she changed her hairstyle....or wore sunglasses.

What's your point?

why actually you do. you look PINK!!!!

she is a lighter hispanic. if she was darker then she would be a black/hispanic maybe.

in the end. it makes no difference.

what does is, if you see this lady and the missing girl CALL THE AUTHORITIES!!!!!!!!!

Depends on the person. Hispanics can be any race on Earth.

Maybe 85% of Cubans in Miami are white, but that is way off for Cubans in general. I would agree that slightly less than half of Puerto Ricans are white.

Part of my Family is from Puerto Rico.

Yes my complexion is Black.

But Puerto Ricans are made up of Spanish, Black and Tejano Indian.

All Americans are mixed up.

Idiots create Blogs to start looking at color!

Don't fall into the trap.

Yeah but that Hispanic woman is not one of them.

Not sure what you're getting at, Mr. O. I was just making an observation. No trap here mi hermano.

I am of Cuban ancestry myself, among other things. Many Puerto Ricans (and many Cubans, for that matter) are indeed Spanish, African and Taino Indian; some are primarily white, and some primarily black (say, in Loiza).
