Monet is considered black or african american by readers and fans, but is there any comics where they actually say it?

yeah,I did research and her race or ethnicity is black. Black means people of african roots despite their birth place. For example: Monet was born in Bosnia, European (White, but depends), but her mother is Algerian ( located in Africa), due to this she's ethnically black. i'm not saying she's not mixed with anything else but her algerian inheritage is the only fact that's official.
       

She is supposedly related to Gateway and he is an Australian Aboriginal (widely considered "black"). She is also presumed to be the grandmother of Bishop and Shard! Wish they would focus more on her family tree so we can confirm this ish! lol

Her father was the Bosnian ambassador I thought. Half European half African.

" She also pointed out in the most recent X-Factor that she is Muslim because her mother is from Algeria and 90% of people in Algeria are Muslim. "

" @Catman9: Probably to show that Muslims are regular people too despite what some extremists have done. "

Muslim is not an ethnic group.

@princeimc: @Catman9:
Probably to show that Muslims are regular people too despite what some extremists have done. Best answer i heard all year.
