Oh definitely. It's not just you lol. I'm just starting to finally finish stories in like the last year lol.
yikes, I'll be more careful about asking questions in future.
People usually assume I'm Haitian because I'm so much more afro-centric in my features than a lot of other Dominican's and have natural hair. That's not fun because of the treatment Haitians tend to receive here, but in the end it's no big deal if. I'm second gen American on my dad's side as both his parents were immigrants, but my mom has been in the USA for as long as anybody can remember as an African American. It's how it is.
My dad's much whiter in features than I am, because both his grandfather's were white, and he's pretty sure one of his grandmothers was indigenous, so only black from one grandmother.
Slanted eyes are a big thing in many Hispanic countries though aren't they? Lots of my relatives, myself included, have slanted eyes. My brother's are super slanted XD, to the point where people have called him "Chino."
I think I have quite a few Afro latinas, as well as more white looking latinas, and indigenous ones too. I have an absurd amount of Hispanics in my stories XD.
