its obvious
her lil sis looks just like Nicki sometimes. like she could literally play nicki in a bio mess
Consuela is of mixed ancestry, which she's even said herself. And that's how she is treated by a lot of people. She's not a Sexy Red, or even a Zoe Saldana.
Only comparison she made that makes sense is Ice Spice.
Who is another woman who has people questioning and debating her ethnic background all day - and benefits from that.

Why haven't we heard of the Trini claims essentially since she came out? The thing is, having family members from Trinidad nor DR doesn't automatically make you one race or another.
Her Trini representation stopped once she became questioned about validity. Also, Ice has a fully BLACK parent and this is proven, not 4 generations ago.
consuela doesn't harp on the trini mess much because it's not as beneficial as harping on being consuela
Just like Nicki would rather cosplay being Chinese than leaning into her trini mess
But ive seen her mothers sisters and brother ...they're clearly of African descent
Consuela isn't a "black woman" but she is def mixed .
When she first hit the scene she claimed she was mixed (which is accurate imo) but as she got questions and pressure about things like using the "n" word that's when she really started claiming she was just Black more often and playing the fence more.
I'm not sure what degree of blackness her moms family has but my eyes are working well enough to know it's def there somewhere
