On the PBS Special "Finding Your Roots" actress Michelle Rodriguez discovered that her family practiced inbreeding to preserve light skin.
"Lost" hottie MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ is the product of kissing cousins!
The 33-year-old actress recently learned that her great-great grandparents on her father's side were first cousins — and that several more of her dad's relatives practiced inbreeding!
"I guess my father's side loved to do it in the family," quipped Michelle, who soared to stardom in the 2000 indie hit "Girlfight."
Researchers discovered her family's incestuous link when Michelle's genealogical background was explored on the PBS show "Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr." she also Learned that three of her great-grandfathers were brothers, and that her father's Puerto Rican ancestors deliberately married family members in a practice known as endogamy.
They inbred in a bid to maintain the family's lighter skin color because they believed lighter-skinned people were more high class than dark-skinned folks.
The "Avatar" actress, who was born in San Antonio, Texas, said that she witnessed the effects of endogamy first-hand as a child when her father's light-skinned Puerto Rican family looked down on her mother's darker relatives from the Dominican Republic.
Her parents divorced when she was 8, and Michelle — who has several DUI busts under her belt — credits her difficult childhood for her tough-girl image both on and off the screen.
"My dad was so clouded and miserable part of the time, so he just hit the bottle hard," she said. "My mom wasn't about that stuff."
On the PBS show, the "Machete" star was also stunned to learn that her DNA lineage was 72 percent European, 21 percent black and 6 percent Native American.
"I'm appalled," said Michelle. "I'm European? Ewww! I wanted to be Native American!" As for the news that she's got a lot of African- American blood, Michelle said: "I need to shoot over there (Africa) and get in touch with my roots."
And commenting on her ancestors' marital history, the still-single beauty told a pal: "Even though my great-grandparents were first cousins, I don't think I'll ever go down that path if I ever get married."Jacked from The National Enquirer

Most 'latinos' have this mixture...for many, much of the white blood is jewish/greek, etc.
Shit, their are light people who still practice this, to this day! No surprise here.
No offense to the mentally impaired people but this bitch always acted retarded, that's because she is!!!!
There was a black guy on Gates show last night that was dark as Yaphet Koto but had the nerve to say he was probably 40% white. Negros test results came back as 90% black. Black people always trying to be something else.
Black people are NEVER trying to be someone else!! Get your feats straight you RACIST!!! @1:28

I dont think thats right for most blacks, just that fool!
Inbreeding is a common practice that has been occuring for hundreds of years. It is done so that the family's money and power stays within the family. In Michelle Rodriguez's case, they did it to preserve the light skin color.
Would you like an example? George W. Bush and John Kerry are distant cousins. You can further research this if you want; you may find out some shocking information.
@3:54 exactly and most of the elite families are related due to imbreeding. especially the banking families (rothschilds, jp morgans, goldmans, rockefellers, etc.).
Well THAT explains the down-syndromy look to her

Not only did her relatives want the light skin, but they also wanted the money kept in the family.
this bitch is crazy, had been expelled from 5 schools, always fighting, big bad dyke, now we know why!
hmmm...now I really question what family secret Alicia Keys grandmother wanted to preserve by asking her not to go on the show.
Is that why she's so ugly and stupid?
