"Yes, She Is!" No, She's Not!" Is birth country the only factor in being "of" a certain people?

As I shared in my last post, my fiance and I recently had a beautiful baby girl. We have found ourselves in a never-ending debate about her culture. My biological father was born and raised in Jamaica and my fiance born and raised in the British Virgin Islands. In my mind, she's about 75% Caribbean. No? Well that's what my fiance says too.
