Credit: Mark Schafer/HBO People are Confused Over the Race Of This ‘Girl’s’ Finale Baby, Including His Mother The series finale of ‘Girls’ left people pondering “whose baby is that?” In a final scene, Lena Dunham’s character apparently gives birth after getting knocked up by a Pakistani surf instructor, all in the same episode. The finale cuts to a scene where Lena is holding a brown baby, much darker than her and the actor who plays her co-parent, Riz Ahmed. So people asked out loud,’ is that baby black?’ https://twitter.com/calitobostonjen/status/854126360079552513 https://twitter.com/Gee_Kate/status/853935923968573440 After conversations sparked about the toddler’s race on twitter, the child’s real life mother jumped in to “prove” he wasn’t black. She says he’s Puerto rican and Haitian, which are ethnicities, not races. The mother of the chocolate hued infant made her twitter private after getting some serious HEAT from her pretentious tweet. Some twitter users took the opportunity to correct Jaclyn’s confusion over what ethnicity and race are. https://twitter.com/Android_Tears/status/855485597707849729 Others were not as nice. https://twitter.com/ThisisCandiceR/status/855618503205957632 Hit the flip for more reactions. https://twitter.com/capitalized/status/854727832437653504 https://twitter.com/d_yell/status/854111526281719808 https://twitter.com/HollowSense/status/855548084130021376 https://twitter.com/Upupup2/status/855417246016913408 https://twitter.com/tnvalleygirl129/status/855451029789388800 https://twitter.com/blogdiva/status/855472430160252929 https://twitter.com/MorganJerkins/status/855404998720716801
