See More... The sweet person of Holywood, Jessica Alba, stated that doesn't is fond of be call of latin person. She said that if be proud of she surname, but that doesn't have root with the latin people and  never she felt connect at that race.

- My race is North American. Do more sense say  what Cameron Diaz is a latin person, in as much as she has a father Cuban, but nobody calls she that because she is blonde.

  • was this done with an online translator? I get the point of the story, but it's awkward.

  • i understand what she is trying to say. just because she has Latino ancestry doesn't mean she considers herself a Latino because she was born and raised in the USA. my mom is from Germany and I don't consider myself German.

  • True that. I guess it's like acting like someone with dark skin will automatically be all into "Africa"... when it's not necessarily true for the individual person. She make a good point! It's kind of like saying, "You're different." When, actually, we're ALL different. We're the most mixed country I have ever seen... at least, that I can tell, since I haven't been to just a lot of "countries", lol

  • hmmm... this isnt the first time ive seen this actress express views of this nature... i should first of all say i dont have the world of knowledge on this subject, but i think it's a most important thing to adhere to and be proud of one's ancestory. I would consider this a part of one's ethics, to understand that it doesnt matter where you are from, if you excel as a person then you excel, regardless of nationality. The same principle is recognised in private international law, whereby a person without legal capacity takes on the domicile of one's father as a matter of dependency.

    i feel it's most unfortunate that many celebrities voice their opinions on things, even though most of them have the minimum amount of education. They dont seem to realise the world is larger than movies and certainly more complicated. I guess, as they say, its to be taken with a grain of salt.

  • I love Jessica Alba but to deny ones family background is just so wrong. Whether or not you're American born your heritage has roots and its those roots that we come from. Cameron Diaz is blonde and light complected which is why she can deny such labels but Jessica is dark, brunette and should be proud of it. Aren't that many well known latin actresses or actors, Either way I LOVE Jessica Alba for beter or for worse ;-)

  • The bottomline is Jess wants to be a part of the stolen privledged race and nothing else.
