whoooooaaaaaa! as a latina- a proud latina- also born in Cali this young lady needs some serious help! I understand what she is saying about her grandparents trying to be American and not speak Spanish- it was a different time- my Mama was not allowed to speak Spanish in public- only at home.
Not speaking English well was considered uneducated.
However- Miss Alba seems embarrassed by her heritage. She really needs to go back and do some research...California, Texas, New Mexico & Arizona were all Mexico- not that long ago.
Many of us did not cross the border as the stereotype suggests..the border crosssed us! White people took my families land- as they did to Native Americans...our histories are very simular to other people of colors' in this country. Therefore, I have always embraced my ethnicity and other ethnicities as well. Although- not everybody is going to accept a person esp. if they can't put them in a racial category...ultimately NOBODY is pure anything anymore! Read and Research, Jessica-there are many of us with simular backgrounds...and we are Proud! |

The white community is not gonna accept her as AMERICAN...cmon, get real...she will need to fall back on the Latino community. I dont care how many whack movies and CDs, J-Ho made she never dissed the Latino community even when she portrayed white people in her whack movies, she knew she signed her check Jennifer LOPEZ, not Lohan. Even Christina Aguilera hasnt forgotten her roots and she look white! Tell me how you are gonna live in CALI and say you are NOT Mexican...its not like she lives in South Dakota or Minnesota...so whack! |

Wow, that's one confused and very disturbed young lady...so if she's not latina then what race is she, or how does she classify herself? Yes, we're all Americans, but we can't get by in this society by just being "American", if that was the case then there wouldn't be any racism or inequalties, that's why Uncle Sam has us classfiied into different groups...white, black, hispanic, etc, so that we all as "Americans" know our place and how we fit into the whole scheme of things...so for her to say that she's just American is pretty dumb and ignorant, hell we're all Americans...She should embrace who she is because at the end of the day that's the one thing that no one can take away from her...I'm not Latina or Hispanic but I've always admired thier culture and heritage, and feel that they are a truly beautiful group of people...Hell, I'm African (Ethiopian) and all my life I've dealt with negative stereotypes and ignorance about Africa and Africans, but I still hold my head up high, and wouldn't change a thing about who I am...I truly feel sorry for her, she seems to have been brainwashed from a very early age, and I really can't blame her, I blame her elders...She obviously wasn't taught to love herself from an early age and that's a crime...but regardless of how she sees herself, most people will still see her as a latina, a beautiful, but confused one at that....SMH... |

That is really sad! "If you don't know where you came from, you will never know where you are going". She is simply the white culture's new hot thing, but white people are very fickle. "What hot today is not tomorrow!" So she needs to be very careful about how she treats her culture, because when the white throw you away (and they will some!) We'll see how Latina she really is. |

and i thought she was stupid, but people shes saying everyone here came from somewhere and if we as a culture keep separating ourselves by saying im black or im irish or im gay or im whatever we will put up to many walls around the one simple fact, that we are all american. you could get political with this as well, "divide and conquer" is the way the rich will keep all the regular people down. think about that!!!!!!!!!!! |

The problem starts from childhood. I am a brownskin woman and married a chocolate man. My daugther is chocolate and I love it. I tell her everyday she is beautiful and to embrace her dark skin. If Blacks and Latinas would start excepting themselves for what God made them than they would not feel like they have to conform to this white world. Once you learn to love yourself than you will be ok in your own skin. |

tmarti and Mimi, I agree whole-heartedly with both of your posts.
I think it's sickening when a person denies thier heritage in lieu of becoming more acceptable in white society. So many races are guilty of that, but it's disheartening no matter which race does it. Have we been so brainwashed that we really believe the "white way" is the ONLY way to go and if we don't fit in, then that means that something must be wrong with us? Pretty sad. |

@sickcheapo, regardless of your interpretation of what she's trying to say or how much you agree with her, the truth of the matter is that we are all different races. Just because one chooses not to label oneself as any particular race doesn't mean that everyone else will follow suit. |

I understand where she's coming from. White Americans whose heritages come from Europe don't call themselves European Americans. Are they all embracing their European culture? My father is from South America and he had so many hardships when he came to this country that he didn't want his children to have the same fate. He married an American woman and had me. People look at me and can't tell what I am. My father never taught me Spanish either. I don't believe that she's dissing the Latin community. She wasn't brought up as a Latina and she doesn't want to disrespect the Latin community by saying that she is Latina. She's not trying to be phony. She said that her grandfather was Mexican. She didn't say that her whole family was Mexican. I don't understand why people are making such a big deal out of all of this. |

Obviously her family has had some deep seeded issues regarding their heritage stemming back to her grandfather. That's a shame. It's only the weak and insecure indivuals who demand that you deny your heritage in order to join their group.It's really sad.
She should be proud of who she is. She's better looking then blond Cameron Diaz and a lot of blond hollywood actresses anyway.Being a plain white American is NOT something to aspire to in the least. That's why they attempt to brain wash us into thinking that every chance they get in the media. If these statements are true it's hard to respect her. |

@SICKCHEAPO true in theearly days that seperation stuff got us at a stand still, but i feel if we seperate as a race it would really glue our feet to the ground. we live in a society where even if we did'nt seperate ourself due to the color we are already seperates us. i been in most organization were we stand strong together and luv all, but if you dont know who you are that means your a one man army in this many different race war. so you gotta know who you are and stand strong as an individual amost many of your culture. i not saying hate or seperate just find who you are. |

AND MEAN AND EVERY ONES RACIST BE FOREAL U SEE CAMERON GOT BLONDE HAIR. IF SHE TOLD ONE OF THE LATINOS THAT SHE IS HALF LATINO YALL WOULD MOST LIKELY TRY TO JUMP HER FOR LYING. AND LIKE BLACK PEOPLE I KNOW ALOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE MIXED WITH BLACK BUT DONT LOOK IT. AND PEOPLE WILL BE QUICK TO SAY THEY PURPORTRATING SORRY IF I SPELLED IT WRONG.

And I thought it was only white ppl that had a probem with someone accepting their heritage. WE are all Americans but we are also all immigrants. Only the native americans can call themselves the true ancestors of this land. Her nationality is American yet her heritage is Latino. For her to deny publicy is spitting in the face of all other young latina girls who have dreams and aspitations to make it big in such an industry who's only stars is her, JLo and Eva Longoria. Imagine if Selena lived and how she would have been on of the first who set path for latinas. I am an American but my heritage is African. Therefore I am African American. I see no problem with white ppl who want to respect their heritage such as the Irish, polish and Italian. |

I have to agree with the other comment about when the "hollywood americans" throw her ass out the "pool party", let's see how Latina she be then. You should never ever be ashamed of your heritage I don't give a damn what they stereotype it to be. Then she said:
"I was always self conscience of my puffy lips and darker skin when I was a kid, because I felt like I didn't fit in" .....please well,welcome to the african american side of the fence honey. Cause we've lived with this all our lives and we've never "fit in" according to white america so don't sell your self or in your case, your ethnicity to fit in with "them" cause they don't want you neither. |

I agree with what a lot of people are saying. I feel like she shot herself in the foot by the way she made her case. She reduced any Mexican heritage down to her last name and cut off many Latina girls (and other ethnically diverse girls) who look up to her. She could have acknowledged her Mexican heritage more strongly while explaining why she doesn't feel connected to it. The part where she feels like she was not accepted by any race seems pretty important.
I agree with how fickle the "mainstraeam" is. Did y'all see Alex Haley's Queen? Queen finally gets "found out" and rejected by whites and goes running into a black church screaming that she is Negro. If Jessica burns her bridges with the Hispanic/Latino communities, where is she going to run when white Hollywood has decided her time is up? |

these actresses use their heritage or lack of one whenever it suits them..shes probably frustrated that shes not getting the types of roles that white actresses are getting and so now she wants to tell the world shes not really latina..Hollywood hyped her as a latina during that whole latin explosion back in 99-'02(J-Lo, Ricky Martin, Marc Anthony..)..she didnt mind back then because it was getting her a lot of attention, roles and magazine covers..but now, shes getting roles that suck like Fantastic Four and no one takes her as a serious actress..people and Hollywood are quick to label her Latina when shes really less than a quarter latina..if she doesnt feel latina, she doesnt feel it..she was never taught to be proud of her heritage and I feel bad for her, but we cant force her to claim something thats not in her heart and really, shes less latina by blood than her other races..the only think I disagree with is using your heritage just to benefit yourself..you should be proud at all times..she came from a mixed family that was ashamed of its Mexian side and taught her to sweep it under the rug and just act white..I know A LOT of families like that..we cant blame her too much, we can just feel sorry for her because the latin culture is such a beautiful one and she will never appreciate it-until she needs to get a good role, then she may claim us again |

She's half right. She IS American. But so is Jennifer Lopez. I think what it comes down to is more of a black / white issue. She likes white guys fellas. We can take her off the list now. I'm not going to waste my time lusting over someone who wouldn't give me a chance because of the color of my skin. So when the white guys all say that they don't want her anymore because her butt is too big, lips are too full, and they are tired of us 'brothers' acting like we see a glimpse of 'us' in her, we should all remind her that SHE'S WHITE... (I mean American.) Either way, if this is an issue, no matter how good that butt looks - she's an a$$! |

Jessica Alba was born in Pomona, California, to Mark Alba (who is of Mexican descent), and Catherine Jensen (who is of French and Danish ancestry. Going by everyone classifications, she is half European, half Mexican.
Many people seem to forget that there is a big difference between ethnicity and race. There at least three races: mongoloid, negroid, and Caucasian. And there is French, Latino, Yoruba of Nigeria, Zulu of South Africa etc. Even if she were Mexican, there are white , native and black Mexicans. Furthermore, Jessica was brought up in a family with different cultures . As she alluded, not being French, Danish or Mexican was emphasized in her family when she grew up, but American. Do you blame her? If her family had decided to make the issue of race or culture significant, would she have had a torn home?
There are a lot of people who are brought up to be American first. Because, after all, almost every person is of mixed heritage in this country: Indian, English, from the African continent, Spanish etc.
More so, Chalize Theron is South African and also American, would you consider her as an African American? |

she can feel anyway she wants to about herself she doesn't have to accept any culture if she doesn't want to that's her right, same goes for religion. most people believe in got but they don't have to go to church to prove it. so she doesnt have to claim a race to prove she's latina or mexican or whatever she is. she doesnt owe that to anybody. she doesnt really sound like she is selling out she just sounds like she wants to be identified as a person and not a race. whats wrong with that? NOTHING |

I dont think theres anything wrong with what she says. Jessica Alba clearly stated that her grandfather didnt raise them to be familiar with their culuture. I dont think shes bashing people of the Hispanic culture, and if anyone got offended by the popping out kids statement that was probably taken out of context. We all crack jokes about the sterotypes our cultures deal with. Why cant people take this as her breaking down the race barriers and thinking of herself and others just as "people" not black people, white people ,etc.... |

What I see wrong with it is that her Grandfather was the Mexican equivalent of the "house negro" who wanted to act more white and be more like "massa" to be accepted.
I am a 2nd generation Latina. I consider myself an AMERICAN first, yes I am proud to be born & raised in this country that allows us to do pretty much what we want to. HOWEVER, i have NEVER denied my latino background. MY mom is Puerto Rican, my father Honduran. I dont care if u speak spanish or not that is not the issue. My parents came here and taught THEMSELVES English but made it a point to teach me to read/write/speak Spanish as well. I am DAMN PROUD to be Latina She is obviuosly ashamed of her heritage and has been brainwashed by her Uncle Tom Grandpapy.
By the way, why is she being noticed? Because of her beautiful ethnic features thats why.. Way to go Alba u bum bytch! So your grandfather and u think there is something wrong with being different? I think being different is what makes us all special.
So what she is half white. Can u see Amerie didding Koreans or dissing her black side? She could go either way on that one. How bout Halle Berry? She was raised by her WHITE mother and doesnt deny it for but FULLY embraces her black side proudly. FYI that 2nd, 3rd generation shyt she is talking about is bullshyt. Eva Mendez, J-lo, Eva Longoria, are all 2nd or 3rd generation Latinas, but when it comes time to rep whatever nationality flag they come from, they say it loud & proud.
How many Black Americans are like 3, 4, 5 even 6 generation African? That like them saying dont call me Black. Im American now!!! I used to like her until I found out what an idiot she is. I hate this bytch!!

By the way Mexicans, as well as many Central and South Americans derive from Native American (Aztec, Myan, Inca, etc)ancestry. America isnt just North America. And Caribbeans derive from Taino and Caribbean Indians. So the white man miscategorized us by labeling us "Hispanic" or "Latino" some just happen to have been diluted when the SPanish conquistadors raped us and brought the slaves in who mixed w/ the Indians as well in Central & South America. But MOST Latinos from those parts consider themselves Native American Indian race by blood. So when a Latino hears that they are NOT a race we generally have a problem with it. After all Native American is a category in the race section. And Thats what alot of Latinos consider themselves (Native North, Central and South AMERICAN) and take it very offensively when someone says Latino is not a race. Chez whitey just ended up lableing us Latino or hispanic just cuz we speak mainly Spanish. |

I'm not surprised.
Let's all remember a few things.
1) This is a county that cheerfully embraces people who deny their heritage all the time no matter who knows what (Vin Diesel, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Beals, Carol Channing, Meg Tilley, Tiger Woods, Raquel Welch, etc.). Nothing in the world has broken their stride and we prove that every day when we reach out and support them. So why should Jessica Alba be any different? What harm is there, really, in denying your heritage? Nothing that I can see.
2) The only time these people raise the flag is when it is convenient. Trust me, it'll happen soon enough. Hopefully we won't get amnesia.
3) I don't know why anyone is shocked. There are many black men out there who put down black women in words and action and we still support them (musicians, actors, atheletes, politicians, and everyday men on the street). There are many Latinos that do the same. Like black people, they welcome white people with open arms and then disparage their own. Now why can't she expect the same love?
I'm not surprised that she said those things because we have created a comfortable and accepting environment for her to hold these beliefs. She's right. The world has changed. |

I totally agree that her ethnic looks is what got her noticed..I feel bad for Cameron Diaz because she looks like a straight up caucasian and didnt reap the benefits of looking ethnic and unique..she looks like every other white actress although shes half latina..like I said, Jessica is just frustrated because shes not getting the roles that Cameron Diaz is getting..she has to resort to being the "hot chick" in lesser known movies because she looks too ethnic and people dont know what to cast her as..you can plop Cameron Diaz in any movie and she will fit in..Jessica wont..or maybe the truth is, Jessica isnt that great of an actress..Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek look very ethnic and have thick spanish accents but they have BOTH receieved Oscar nominations during their career and have had respectable roles in movies..so maybe Jessica needs to blame her talent and not her looks for not getting the roles she wants..plus, if BIG BOOTY J-lo can make it in the biz, that should give everyone hope who doesnt fit the white stereotypical actress |

Gigi2007 Hey girl!!-lol
Yes I believe the answer is "B". She simply is just not that great an actress. She's actually pretty bad...Damn J-lo played an Italian chick in "the wedding planner" so Alba needs to stop!. I think J-Lo sux as a singer and she will never be at Penelope or Salma's level, but her acting is way better than Alba's. Plus she is a self hater bred by her self hating father & grandparents. She's always talking shyt to get attention
Alba once said she HATES her curves and wishes she was taller & skinnier. She also once compared her azz to J-Lo's lol and says she hates it. Personally her booty aint big. Its just like Mya's booty. Its like flattened out on top and folds over at the bottom to make it look like she has azz. She haz hips though but she's anorexic (which she also admitted to) I wish she would just roll over and shut the fk up! |

Whats good Outdafakeonz! lol..giiiirrrl Jessica is trippin..its a shame that her family views being Mexican as a dirty secret..Im not mexican but its such rich culture to be proud of..Americans have made a mockery of them by stereotyping them and treating them like 3rd class citizens..lets keep it real, that Taco Bell dog did nothing to enhance the culture and Speedy Gonzalez did even less..if I was her I would be screamin HELL YEAH IM LATINA! all of the actresses today have nothing unique about them that distinguishes them from the bunch..she has a beauty that was attained from her mixture..and I remember her saying she hated her curves..WHAT CURVES??? shes always been a size 0 or 2 the most..what curves does this chick think she has? maybe to the other anorexic chicks, having a little hump classifies as being thick or curvy but I LAUGH at her categorizing herself with J-Lo..she needs to sit down..shes young and famous so she lives in her own little LA LA LAND, hopefully she will snap out of it one day |

Well, she's Latina and white (so I read in IN STYLE this month). So she's half and half. But I have no clue why she would want to deny the Latina part of her heritage. Maybe she's been in Hollywood too long. |

Jessica Alba is just another casualty of white supremacy. Particularly that which permeates that place that we know as Hollyweird, uh I mean Hollywood. The truth of the matter is that the Caucasian is not ancient or indigenous anywhere. He simply occupied someone else's territory. After all he's only been on the planet for approximately 6,000 years.(making this whole argument over immigration just as ridiculous as it is fraudulent) JA needs to obtain a copy of the Treaty of Peace and Friendship of 1787. It essentially gives the United States of America (Corporation) permission to do commerce on indigenous territories. It is the oldest treaty in force as it has to be signed every 50 years. The last time being in 1986. Hawaii and Alaska did not re-sign the Treaty and Hawaii is once again a kingdom.(one of the world's best kept secrets) Ever wonder why Hawaii does not accept U.S. postal money orders anymore? Anyhow so-called blacks, latinos, mexicans, and asians are included in this Treaty. Remember Malcolm said that the struggle should not be for civil rights but for human rights. But these groups must claim and insure that the Treaty is enforced then they will have international rights and immunities. Poor JA,I guess she thinks Christopher Columbus discovered "America" too. Remember JA, the next time you call yourself an "American" "America" traverses from Alaska to Chile. |

Well. I understand her not feleing connetced or accepted because many people who look and are of mixed races feel that way...and if she does not identify with being Latin then thats her business, but she does come off a little harsh, must be a sore subject for her.
I don't think people should throw stones at her just yet. Maybe she has a history that explains her harshness?? |

IT WASN'T THAT WE WERE BRAINWASHED TO STAND UP FOR ALL CULTURE OR HERITAGE, MORE LIKE TO BE PROUD!!I DON'T THINK BRAINWASHED WAS THE RIGHT WORD.I AM VERY BROUD TO BE YES A "BLACK AMERICAN" I SEE MYSELF AS AN AMERICAN, BUT LIKE SOMEONE ELSE SAID IT DOESN'T STOP THERE. EVERYONE IS INTITLED TO THERE OWN OPINION, I'M JUST PROUD OF MY HERITAGE AND MY ROOTS AND I "INSTILL" THIS KNOWLEDGE IN MY CHILDREN SO THEY KNOW WHERE THEY CAME FROM AND THE STRENGTH THEY HAVE NEVER TO GIVE UP, I JUSTWISH JESSICA ALBA AND OTHER PEOPLE HAD PARENTS THAT "INSTILLED" THAT IN THEIR CHILDREN THEN WE WOULDN'T HAVE PEOPLE LIKE THIS IN THE WORLD

Screw that shallow, ignorant b*tch. Doesn't she know that being bilingual is something to be proud of, if not professionally advantageous? She shunned speaking Spanish, what a dummy.
Nobody is taking away from her American upbringing but to be ashamed of her clear Latin roots makes her look like harbors self-hatred. Someone above said white-supremacy mentality got the better of her - I agree.
I've never liked her, couldn't figure out why, not that I analyzed it or anything, but now the puzzle piece has been put into place. She's a loser. |

I guess your not from New York.. Or Jersey, or Florida for that matter.. Tell that "latinos dont want nothing to do with us" to all the black/latino kids running through mine and other neighborhoods in NYC. All I saw growing up in my generation was Latino's dating Blacks & vice-versa (myself included) some ended up having kids together, some got married, some just ended up as just friends. My boy moved down to Ft Lauderdale & he says its the same shyt down there. Even growing up many kids in my high school were 1/2 black 1/2 latino. Its a misconception that Latinos dont want to associate w/ Black because of a few idiots, but lets not generalize just like Alba is doing up there..

She stated she wasn't accepted by any particular race group. Why should she then claim all this love and closeness she DOES NOT feel? She was being honest about how she feels and gave her reason's why. It is OTHER peoples problem with her because some people have to place everything in a neat little box and force people to choose. The thing is, she doesn't have to please anyone. If she views herself one way, those limited people who have to have her classified will still do it. They have the problem not her. She is honest about how she feels.
Same thing in situations of biracial people who for all intents and purposes Look and exhibit all the trais of the less dominant race ie in the case of black and white and the person has Straight blonde hair, thin lip, slim nose, Eurocentric features and look white just as any white person. Blacks say they aren't black enough and don't fully accept them. Whites won't accept them if they know about their black heritage. Blacks want them to go around and make a point to tell everyone about their black heritage but still say they aren't black enough. If they blend into the white culture and say nothing then they are selling out. Okay .. it cant be both ways ... either accept them or not .... you cant accept with condition. Some of us a blacks are really guilty of that. Trying to determine what is black and what is not. Everything doesnt fall in a box.
Also, what a person identifies with has nothign to do with what you think. it wont change hwo they identify. Also ...
Hispanic, White, European, Chinese, even Africans ... once they come here and some as soon as they get here, They learn the behavior of dominant culture and think they are better than native blacks and act that way as well. people are also always pointing out the negatives about every other race, and ONLY the positives of their race. The reality is ... every race is guilty of some kind of dirt. SOme more than others, but all of us got some dirt and some blood on out hands.
We are ALL Important and the US wouldn;t be what us is without the contributions of ALL of us, Blacks, Whites, Immigrants, Native Americans, ALL of us. ALl of us have contributed in some way to AMERICAN CULTURE .. and all of the contibutions are important!!!! Just because you are a member of one particular race, that doesnt make thet race's contribution any more important. They all make it possible to live with the conveniences we have today. I am black here. To the rest of the world .. No matter where I go... I am an AMERICAN FIRST and thats how I view myself. I AM an American. I happen to be black as well. |

We do have a problem in the US with priorities though. If we go anywhere else in the world, we have to learn the native language there. The US is the only place I know of where WE have to learn the language of the the people who come here.
In the schools we have Bilingual classes and the teachers get paid extra to teach in spanish to spanish speaking children. WHY? Why are we taxpayers paying for this? This is unfair. If We go to MEXICO(as an example- not saying all hispanics come from there) if we go there guess what... we have to learn spanish. We are not given any special treatment. It shoudl be the same here. and Certainly if a class is bilingual in the US then ALL of the students should benefit from it and learn the second language. It is currently one way with spanish speakers getting the benefit of learning both languages at the expense of taxpayers while out children are in the same schools and only have the benefit of knowing one language ... this creates a disadvantage to out children in the workplace. WE pay for this every day ... WAKE UP AMERICA. |

As a Blatino, I am very disappointed to hear this. It's pretty pathetic that she wants to deny her Latino heritage. I embrace BOTH my sides-Puerto Rican AND Black. I feel like I have the best of both worlds. It was hard when I was younger, to get accepted by SOME black folks, since I have a Spanish name but in the South I am seen as BLACK until people learn my name or hear me talk. I will NEVER deny either of my sides because of some other people's ignorance. I am happy to be bilingual as well as being able to identify with two of the best cultures this world has to offer.
THEMAN00-I understand you are frustrated with the comments of SOME stupid Latinos, but generalizing all Latinos is wrong, brotha. Don't let a few stupid ones cause you to hate the whole race. Blacks and Latinos are two of the strongest cultures on this earth and our way of life; foods we eat, language, clothing, style Period is envied by whites and other races. People try to drive a wedge between Blacks and Latinos and for stupid people like Jessica Alba, it works...don't give racists what they want...because if Blacks and Latinos stood together like we should be doing, our power would be unstoppable. Just something to think about. |

I think Bilingual classes are a hindrance to Latin children. THey need to learn english. Spanish will be taught & spoken to them at home. They need to know English to get ahead in this country although theis country as of yet has no "national language" set. I also agree that no matter what color you are, whenever you travel ANYWHERE outside the US they can spot an AMERICAN a mile away. Black, white or Latino an AMERICAN has a certian way of dress, a certain demeanor, a certain attitude and even if you are a Latino-American traveling to a Latino country they will pick you out as the "American" amongst them.
The point is she is looking down upon her roots, where she came from. I am American and I look white but I am Latina and dont deny it. When I was young I used to get made fun of for looking like the white girl. Growing up in the projects if I went to a block that I wasnt commonly in the black girls used to try to insult me for being a "white girl" in their neighborhood until one of our mutual friends let them in on my heritage and I guess then it was "ok"..when a white person heared the "twang of my spanish accent" they judged me until I proved my intelligence & character to them. So like Alba I know about not being accepted when u are young. But I always had pride in who I was & where my family came from and never looked down on it. And she is jsut conforming to a sad way of thinking that u have to be like someone else in order to be accepted and turn your back on who you really are. And that is being fake. Being different means being unique and it is beautiful.

It's a shame Jessica Alba has taken such a stand on behalf of her Grandfather. One should never be ashamed of their heritage. But sadly, she isn't the first. Rosario and Roxanne (StarTrek:Voyager) Dawson fall into this pattern as well. Roxanne changed her last name to "find work" and Rosario surrounds herself with European culture. I am not Hispanic, and still feel sad about this situation. |

I still say that in Amerikkka, you are what you look like. Most people aren't 'trying to get to know you' first. All you have to see is how much WORSE she looks in 'The Fantastic Four' movies with dyed blonde hair and fake blue eyes to see that she is not lilly white.
I hate the fact that we judge people like this, but I also know I can't turn of my tan no matter how much I protest. Nobody cares if I'm 1/4 this or 1/2 that. You are either white or not here.
Again, I believe that she has the right to believe what she wants, but when she gets smacked in the face with prejudice like all us other minorities - don't come running back.
She doesn't have to go around dating rappers to prove she's black (latina, mixed, whatever - I mean 'minority'). All she has to do is accept who she is.
This wouldn't be an issue if she didn't make it one. Maybe there is a little Lohan / Spears in her! |

I understand what you are saying, however this is not her thinking really. She is basically cosigning because she explains that this is how her Grandfather taught his family and what he instilled to make sure his family thought as of Americans first and not as if they were different. Different different from whom?
There is no prototypical american. NONE of us are Natives. EVERYONE HERE is an immigrant. The native americans came here from an original land, europeans came here from europe, africans came from africa. The US was not originally inhabited by anyone ... so we are all immigrants, which is a bond we share. We are all AMERICANS ... There are differences but they dont make anyof us more or less AMERICAN.

@ML EXPERIENCE-
what do you mean "native americans came here from an original land"???? This WAS there original land- sweetheart! "Indigenous" Americans or "Indians" came from various tribes ...that originated on American soil...so I'm not following you.
I am Mexican- so called 3rd generation "American"...However my Grandmother was born in Mexico...when she was 4 years old it was renamed "New Mexico"..because it was forced to join the Union by white people. Our family land that had also been with us since AT LEAST 1680-something was "claimed"...or maybe I should say "discovered"...cuz white people love to think they "discovered" something!
Technically- my family is probably more "American" than yours! How 'bout that?!!!
We speak Spanish in the house and English in public because we were taught that to succeed in the white person's world we need to speak their language.
Miss Alba is the victim of a Grandfather who was ashamed of his ancestry.
Hollywood has done nothing but reinforce that shame. But as @Gigi so intelligently said- her ethnic or "exotic" features are what got her noticed in the first place.
@outdafakeonz- thanks for "reppin" us so well. Our experiences sound very simular- so glad to hear you've come out of them in tact and with plenty of "Raza"....lol. |

That is sad of her to say that about her heritage. I understand how not fitting in can feel, but it is no excuse to deny your heritage.
Me and my girlfriend are fair-skin blacks (high yella, or redbones to my race). Of course we both have mixed races in both our families, but nonetheless we are black, we are pro-black, we are black and we are proud, we paid our dues with blacks, our lifestyle is black, and we will step to you like a strong black brother and sister will do, (oh yeah, we are Americans too!)
Alba sounds like she is selling out for her career. It always seem they want to sell out their race in America when in the entertainment business. Like Ice Cube said about white people, "who are they to be equal to"?
If nothing else she should look to someone like Selma Hayek who is a tremendous success in this country as a "Latina".
Just go to show you "sell-outs" come in all flavors. |

Someone has been reading DATED anthropology materials--Mongoloid??? Most anthropologists agree that there is no such thing as a biological "race" and that people can only be categorized by ethnicity, e.g. Mexican, Nigerian, French, because there is no make clear defintions between races. I think that the issue is not that she is "denying her race." Rather, she has not embraced her ethnic heritage, which includes Mexican. If she doesn't feel like embracing Latina stereotypes to appease teh mainstream and others expectations, that's her business. But please, spare us with you mombo-jumbo pseudo-scientific analyses about race--some of us are too educated to buy into such rubbish. |

See now if you were from more segregated areas I could understand your points more but when u say u are from Brooklyn your statements trouble me all the more. All ive ever known are Blacks & Latinos uniting together beceuase we are both minorities, discriminated against and have to work 2x as hard to get where the white man was. If anything I have seen racism from ALL sides to EACH OTHER, when it comes to the more ignorant folks of all races. Where do u thing Blacks got calling women "Mama" from? Its a latin term of endearment tha blacks in NY adopted as a term of endearment for their chicks. And how many Latinos embrace black culture here??
Let me point out Fabulous is 1/2 black and 1/2 Dominican, Juelz Santana is 1/2 black 1/2 Dominican. Maxwell (the R&B singer) is Jamaican and Puerto Rican) Mariah Carey is half white and 1/2 Black/Venezuelen. Bernie Williams is a Black Puerto Rican. He decends from Blacks who settled in PR and raised him there. I could go on.. PLenty Latin & Black hybrids more that are not famous who just prove that Latinos dont seperate themselves from Blacks like u say. And more relevant I use myself as an example. I have had a blck boyfriend, I have very close black freinds and my black freinds appreciate their Latino relationships.
I feel bad that u have had some negative experiences w/ some close minded idiots of my race and I wish you could have grown up the way I did experience wise loving and embracing each other the way I did.

LOL I guess people didnt pay attention during Global history..
Native Amricans were here even before your azz was brought over here. THis is and has always been OUR land and was STOLEN. Once again (and I HATE repeating myself.. Cali, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona WERE MEXICO until whitey decided to call it USA territory. Manhattan NYC, or New Amsterdam as it was called back then was bought from the Indians. Native North american indians & those of the central & south share the same blood, dna charachteristics, race etc. So any one acting like they can claim this land and tell Latinos to "get out" are serioulsy deluded. Its especially perturbing when a BLACK person says this. Its even more obvious tha U do NOT belong here either. Any KKK redneck would quickly build an Ark capture you all and send u back to Africa where u came from cuz its not your land either. But as deluded as the redneck is to act like this is "their land" sadly you are too. |

I still do not understand a few things
puerto rican is not a race its a nationality.puerto ricans are mostly mulattos then some black and some white.
Spain , britain and france colonized the west indies.
You can say im of american and puerto rican heritage , or racially
MY father is black, and my mother is a mulatto from puerto rico, or my father is black and my mother is black, but she is a afro latina. etc etc
Black puerto ricans looking down on black dominicans, and black domincans looking down on black americans. Is all so foolish
The middle passage dropped off MOST slaves in the WEst indies, central and south america, only 5% landed in what is now known as the USA.
Lastly its really foolish how black puerto ricans and dominicans DENY that they are black as if being black is shameful. Latinos are just as brainwashed by white supremacy and I would argue MORESO than black people. Ms alba is a prime example. I warn though, cross the tracks and you may not be able to cross back. Its very sad frankly |

I'm Domincan, Cuban, and Jamaican. I am proud of EACH and EVERY thing about my roots and I embrace my mother didn't speak much spanish around me but I still know who I am where I came from and what I stand for. She needs to get a wake up call.. The Hollywood thing has gotten to her obviously. In the movie F4 she had a blond wig and blue contacts... Come on boo?` |

B*%$H!!!! U JUST LOST ME AS A FRICKING FAN!!!!! DAYWALKER needs a reality check! Latinos are one of the most proud people! Don't know ur race, but seems to me that whatever race u are, because you sound like u can relate to this chick, Jessica Alba, U ARE THE ONE WITH THE PROBLEM. LATINOS DON'T WISH TO BE WHITE AND THE LEAST AMOUNT OF BIAS IS BETWEEN LATINOS AND BLACKS SO GET IT TOGETHER. YES, COMING FROM A LATINA WHO CAN AFFORD TO LIVE IN A WHITE NEIGHBORHOOD!!!!! U'RE THE ONE WITH THE PROBLEM! |

This is not new. A large majority of people of color, distance themselves from who they are....so they can be accepted by white people. They turn their hair blond, they put contacts in their eyes....to make them any color lighter than dark brown, they lighten there skin, they sharpen their noses, they speak "proper Kings English", so they won't be labled as uneducated. Its sad, but that is what happens when one is still enslaved in there minds that they are not worthy of being who they are. By the way, no matter how hard you try to run away from your heritage........white people still see you as being a person of color. No matter how much you try to look like them. Jessica and all the rest are just plain STUPID! |
