WNBA star Kelsey Plum has revealed the truth about her ethnicity, and it’s probably not what you think.

Lots of fans assume the Las Vegas Aces point guard is Puerto Rican, and she can certainly pass for one. She’s even been branded the “Puerto Rican Princess,” but she isn’t actually Puerto Rican.

Plum, 29, hails from Poway, California, and is Irish. She revealed the latter in a WNBA video this weekend.

“I’m not Puerto Rican,” she said. “I’m so sorry to let people down. I’m just white; I’m Irish, actually. I’m a proud Irish woman but I feel like I’m an ally to all communities but now in particular because I feel like I’ve been endeared by the community.

“I know we’re playing Puerto Rico in South Carolina, it feels a great fit. I’ve been called a Boriqua.

“Whatever y’all need me to be for you, I’m rocking. Right, let’s do it.”

“She rolled her R, yall better claim her,” a fan wrote in the comments.

Kelsey Plum Is Going Through A Difficult Time

While Kelsey Plum was all smiles in the video above, she’s been going through a difficult period as she’s splitting from her husband, Darren Waller.

The 29-year-old confirmed that she and the NFL tight end were going through a divorce earlier this month.

“The offseason’s been tough for me,” she told FOX5 reporter Paloma Villicana in an interview. “I’m sure, everyone knows, it’s pretty public, but for me, I’m super-grateful. I think my faith has grown tremendously. And not just that but I know who I am, and like, you kind of get refined by fire.”

Plum and Waller tied the knot just over a year ago. While it’s disappointing to have to split up so soon, the guard says she’s focused on trying to win back-to-back titles with the Aces.

VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”

Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts

During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.

The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.

This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.

One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.

He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.

He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
