“Lightskinned” means you’re Black, both your parents are Black, you just have a lighter tone.
Being Latino, being mixed, or any other combination that doesn’t result in 100% Black means, by definition, you’re not lightskinned.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk 🙂↕️

I’m a cardiologist. A 24-year-old former Division I field hockey player in “perfect health” just died two miles from the NYC Marathon finish line. Her heart didn’t fail first. Her muscles did.
She collapsed at Mile 24 after texting her dad “Ow” and “Ow ow.” Six hours of CPR and hospital efforts couldn’t save her. This is rhabdomyolysis — and it can kill even the fittest athletes.

24-year-old Rachel Apa dies after collapsing in Central Park just two miles from completing the New York City Marathon.
Her parents say they were tracking her on the marathon tracking app when she stopped moving at Mile 24.
"Final stretch," her father texted her at Mile 23, but she never replied.
Her parents say they were waiting at Mile 25 and tracking her on the app, but noticed she stopped moving at Mile 24.
After a few minutes, they headed to Mile 24, where they found an ambulance pulling out.
According to The New York Times, Apa collapsed before a social worker ran over and tried to find a pulse. Three people took turns trying to resuscitate her.
She was taken to Mount Sinai Medical Center, where doctors spent six hours trying to save her life.
Apa's father says she died from rhabdomyolysis, a condition that can be caused by exertion, in which skeletal muscle rapidly disintegrates and poisons the blood.
"It’s unfathomable. Perfect health, perfect shape, 24 years old," her father said.
Apa played field hockey at Bucknell University and ran the race for her grandfather, who died from Parkinson’s disease.
