I'm black and Cuban, Australian and Irish, and like most people in America, I'm someone whose roots come from somewhere else. I'm a mixed race, first-generation American.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm black. I'm Latina. My mom is Cuban. Afro-Cuban. My dad is white and Australian.
I might be a Cuban American, but I'm also an Afro-Cuban American.
Sure, I've listed myself as Cuban-American. That's my heritage and my background.
I'm a first generation American. My mother is Italian and Russian and a lot of other things, and my father is Uruguayan. In fact, my mother's been married twice, and both men were Uruguayan. So I grew up in a very European/Latin American-influenced home.
I'm tri-racial: African-American, Native American and Euro - that's the Scotch-Irish part.
I'm Cuban-American, everybody says. I have a Cuban background, Cuban blood.
My father is Chinese, Spanish, and Filipino; my mother is half-Irish and half-Japanese; Greek last name; born in Hawaii, raised in Germany.
I come from an immigrant family, but I know no other nationality apart from British.
My mother is Irish, my father is black and Venezuelan, and me - I'm tan, I guess.
I'm certainly proud to be Cuban American, and it's a fantastic opportunity for anybody - regardless of their ethnicity or nationality. It does carry a measure or pride to know where you're from and to know what your roots are.
