The other option is lineage - do you have family ancestry outside of the U.S.?
She did say part of her ancestry was Cuban, but while Cuba isn't quite as bad as it was a few years ago, it is, alas, kind of a third-world country. They did get 3G Wi-Fi over a year ago, but I hear the human rights situation is still not much better than it was when Fidel was in charge.

In BQ's case, it's exactly what to wish for. Unless they've changed the rules, having a parent or grandparent who is an Irish citizen grants you Irish citizenship for the asking (more or less).

I know that, in America, the average black person has enough white ancestry (mostly through several generations of Massa) to make up an entire great-grandparent. But given that A) BQ has said she's mixed Black and Cuban, I suspect this might not quite apply to her, and B) most Irish-Americans (as opposed to the Scotch-Irish who mostly came from what is now mostly Northern Ireland, which is NOT legally part of Ireland proper) were too poor to even own slaves before the 1865 abolition of slavery, and C) if I'm reading the Irish nationality law correctly, this applies to people with an Irish born grandparent or later, which is unlikely to be the case for many Americans, let alone African-Americans, I doubt this would be a helpful option for her.
