Mariah Carey's Venezuelan relatives

Here's a basic summary of what was being discussed on the video, which was from a popular Venezuelan variety show...

Basically, the pic that Mariah showed from her limo at the Maiquetia airport in Venezuela is a pic of her grandfather, Roberto Nunez. The presenter goes on to say that the picture was taken in 1918, when he was 22 years old (so he was born in 1896), his mother's name was Margarita Nunez, and that he's from the Venezuelan state of Zulia. So the show producers researched and found one Margarita Nunez in the public records of Zulia, and brought the relatives of Margarita Nunez to the show (Aura Nunes de Mendez, granddaughter to Margarita Nunez). Aura would be Mariah's second cousin, according to the presenter. Aura's grandfather apparently used to talk about a son who moved to the US and who changed his name to "Robert Caray" [sic] who was the oldest of 6 children born to him and Margarita. The pic that they showed next to Mariah at 4:35 is of Aura's Aunt Lucinda. Then they put up a pic of Mariah's grandfather next to Aunt Lucinda at 5:43 to see if they look alike (which they don't). But the little girl did look kind of like Mariah. That's basically all they said - there was no definitive proof that these people were actually related to Mariah. But anyway I think that, before her father died, Mariah eventually got more information about her family that wasn't available back in 1999.

There are millions of what people call Afro-Latinos and Mariah's father was one of them. Most Hispanics, even if they look like what people think most Hispanics look like, have some black ancestry to varying degrees. Yall need to study the real history of Latin America countries. They're more black and Indian than they're Spanish. They just got the Spanish surnames because they were enslaved at one time by the Spanish.

@ZacariasVEVO: there was no definitive proof that these people were actually related to Mariah.

Mariah's Mom is white her Father is Black with venezuelan background. She makes this Clear all the time. PEOPLE will always come forward with Pictures Claiming to be Related to FAMOUS CELEBRITIES. They have much to Gain from this.

@NyahStar1 You should come to Venezuela and find out how we are mixed, as what you are saying is not completly true, since the moment Cristobal Colon arrived into Venezuela we've been mixing with Spanish People, and after the second world war and the Spanish Civil war we've been receiving people from Europe and mixing with them. Where do you think we get tons of beautiful womens or Miss World and Miss Universe Crowns??
