Green eyes + press hair. Definitely signally he wants to project more europe ancestry.

Yes, it’s not totally racism, but I could see the underlying meaning of the question. The interviewer probably wanted to ask if he thought being black meant he was ugly, since he wanted to change his visible blackness: skin, hair and eyes.

of course he doesn’t consider himself black. Because black ppl are only in Africa,America and Haiti, not in Dominican Republic. if he wasn’t of african/black heritage then why is he altering himself so much to hide it? last time i checked tainos or spaniards don’t look like him lol

Yes, let’s move on. It’s sad that the color issue is still so prominent in latin culture. Will it change? I think it’s hard to break that culture, when you have ppl like mr. sosa who find it so hard to come out and openly say he’s of african ancestry. Wheter he calls himself black or not doens’t matter. But gosh only a fool could look in the mirror and have his features and say to himself “i’m not of african descent” that denial alone is why young kids of his color will grow up prolly hating their color and hating who they are.

So mr. cabrera let’s move on and keep on keeping on.
