So one your great grand parents was from Jamaica?
How is your patois?
EDIT: well ... you didn't mention dad. Just your mom's parents, parents. You sound Jamaican enough to me. Your definately more Jamaican than I am.

Take advantage. I sure hope you speak Spanish! Once you know 1 "foreign" language it is easier to learn a second. This is a tool that can get you far in life. Not just the knowing of 2 or more languages but the different mind set it takes to learn this.
Also ppl have said this to me and I take it as a complement. Spanish beauty is great. Dark eyes, voluptuous....

well what would you label yourself as? You have to take a step back into the other folks shoes. I'm sure they didn't know any better. Are you gonna want to fight every time someone mistakes you for Hispanic?

why do you "hate" Hispanics? you need to seriously check yourself, lil one, because i'm part Hispanic - listen - ive been reading a lot of your questions and responses - you need to really get over yourself - be proud of your heritage - i bet you are a beautiful lady inside and out - let people see the true beauty thats within - because in the long run, thats all that matters
one love

I'm sure that you will be called a latina many more times in your life. It's something that has to roll off of you(don't let it bother you) You're not the only person that get called something that their not.
