JESSICA A DISCRAZE TO LATINOS

I think she's referring to the interview in Univision (Spanish Channel) when she was like, "I don't speak Spanish, so I'm not really Latina... I'm American." Her comment doesn't bother me very much and I'm Latina myself although I guess it's understandable that some may feel offended by her comments. It just clearly shows that she's Americanized. There are MANY Hispanic people who don't know Spanish, so why are people taking it out on her? It's not like if she's 100% Latina, as basically all of us previously stated, but yet, there's always criticism. Come on ;)

Oh, FFS. I'm a quarter Lithuanian. Does that mean I've got to represent? I don't even speak Lithuanian, or whatever.

theres no problem with what jessica or this latina girl said. i am half sicilian with a mix of danish, english and jewish. I am not jewish by religion and i dont speak any danish or hebrew. I do however speak italian and spanish myself. the only thing i find really stupid is how people put pressure on others to learn a language because its their heritage or if actors and actresses feel the need to set examples by learning their native tongue. i have been speaking italian since i could talk and jennifer lopez and people have done the same. theres no big deal here. y'all need to chill out and understand that jessica is learing spanish because she wants to and is not forced to esse?

I can't understand how someone that represents many different ethnicities and cultures would ever be able to "represent" them all like Jessica would have to. Maybe I'm dumb but I would assume coming from multi-cultural backgrounds would allow the person the ability to CHOOSE which parts of their background they love the most and wish to adopt. After all, that's what being American is about I think: having the power to choose. Therefore, inherently, you are not forced into having to "represent" a certain part of your background.

If Jessica has been sort of shunned by her Latina roots, as she's referred to in past interviews, I believe, then it'd be natural she'd probably explore other parts of her roots first. But, I'm sure she's probably got parts of her Latina roots that she likes and has accepted into her life. Regardless, in the end, I think it's HER choice and she has definitely not spat on her roots as UCLA seems to be suggesting. She has admitted to being a great godparent to her family's kids which is a key Catholic component and a big part of Latin American culture so she does see her family as a big part of her life.

I think Will Smith catches a lot of crap for this same stuff unjustly because he doesn't "represent" African-American society enough. The guy does all kinds of charity work but because he doesn't speak like he's from the 'hood, has a stable family life, and hangs around Philly instead of Harlem he's shunned. The guy still came from urban neighborhoods, he's just succeeded in both music and film and stayed out of trouble. I think "selling out" causes these kinds of reactions mostly out of jealousy myself.

UCLA_LATINA, is it ready your pics....? [img]graemlins/goofy.gif[/img]

UCLA_LATINA, I believe the word you're looking for is "disgrace."

Well I give you a compliment UCLA_LATINA, you are very very hot ;) (If that is really your picture [img]graemlins/upside.gif[/img] )

But with your Caps Lock on and your text really seems like littlebit teenage [img]graemlins/sly.gif[/img] I really dont know what is the problem in here. Im from Russia and I live in Finland so it is hard for me to say is this wrong if Jessica Alba dont say that she is latino [img]graemlins/block.gif[/img] ´or... For me it is very silly that you take this so seriously :rolleyes:

(ps. Im 18 years old ;) and I have Messenger)

ucla latina, y do u gotta be such a *****. u probli misenterpreted what she said. shes not the type of person to deny her roots. im half latino too btw and i respect her. i dont think anyone else hates her, maybe other jealous girls like you who want to be actresses. ****-talker, hater

and wtf is the reason for posting ur picture?

Wow so many new people, I can't keep up anymore. Anyway, its all been said before...so I'm just gonna say I agree with RH71 and C_Zman. Im onlly a quater sicilian but i got it in the looks (dark hair, and a good amount of it) and the way I act (I'm very outgoing/loud, a definate italian thing) So that's what I embrace the most. Being latino isnt better than being danish, at all, so she DOESNT have to represent one over the other.

Oh btw, I'm used to surfing gaming boards, this smells like a troll to me. nice pic, if its real. ALso, so what if she didnt get the "booty" of a latino as your saying? Her behind cannot get any more perfect! I wouldnt have her trade it for a more latino butt ever!

Can't we all just agree that she's entitled to her opinion, she's hot, Jess is hot, we still love Jess, and multi-ethnic women are REALLY hot? Really, "Can't we all just get along?" :D

Yea everything is ok when everybody are hot etc [img]smile.gif[/img]
hmm I think I love latino girls more from this moment [img]graemlins/sly.gif[/img]

RIGHT THERE! You said it all perfectly in that one sentence. Not that I'm attempting to bring down my Latinos in such a way, but there really shouldn't be any competition between which race is superior and which race ought to feel inferior compared to the others. Oh please that's something very ignorant, just let her be. [img]smile.gif[/img]

With the increase in Latin American people in the US, which I'm fine w/because the women are HOT, the growing African-American population, and influx of other nationalities to the US, it's getting to the point where groups like the ACLU don't have traditional minority rights work to do anymore since the white, Anglo-American variety Americans are now becoming the minorities themselves, albeit slowly. To a degree that's a good thing as we'll see more muti-ethnic children like Jess lead changes in Hollywood's closed thinking, though.

i MISS UCLA_LATINA:


SOO BEAUTIFUL

you are not the only one missing her [img]graemlins/boggled.gif[/img]

All this from someone who spells disgrace as "discraze"?

Sorry if I can't take you too seriously, and your post seems written out of jealousy.

I've been a Jessica Alba fan for the last few months and she seems proud of where she comes from. However, Jessica doesn't feel she needs to be defined simply as a Latino woman! As an actress she wants to be able to play characters of different backgrounds, she wants to break the mold.

Seeing as she is also of French and Danish descent is she also a "discraze to the French" because she doesn't speak French!?

My friend is Chinese but only speaks English, and I don't doubt for a second that she is proud of her heritage - but she sees herself as British!

Jessica was born in America, she is American - and I'm pretty sure if you said what you think of her to her face, she would kick your Latino ass.

[solo1]

I eat beans all the time.

You seem to be annoyed that she has associated her inability to speak Spanish with her Latina heritage. Is that it? Is that what caused that almost illegible tirade?

What would you do if an actual problem presented itself? This is a non-issue.

Yeah, where is this girl? I can't stand people that run in, start a fire, and run out of the building as fast as they can. At least stand around and wait for the fire trucks like I do. (laughing my best Doctor Evil laugh w/pinkie at my mouth)
