Ariana is not as white as the others.
Her grandparents are Italian and she has darker skin.
Most people probably think she's Latina.

She is not that dark. She looks like a typical Mediterranean/Jewish/Arab girl without her dark makeup and spray painted skin:

What?
The vast majority of Italians are pale-skinned, not the dark types pushed by the media. Those darker Mediterranean types are usually Arabs, Jews, etc.
Also, the vast majority of Latin Americans are definitely not white like Ricky Martin or Shakira as most are native-mixed or even black African-mixed. Some countries in the Middle East? Depends on that specific person. Many are black African-mixed as well.
I'm not sure if she reads as necessarily "white" to all people, esp. with her tan; some people think shes hispanic for example)
