I love America. You ask people how they feel about immigration and they are willing to build a wall across the entire Mexican border. Not the Canadian border mind you, those are nothing more than French speaking white people up there, they must be cool, just the Mexicans…and Haitians…and Cubans who don’t look like Elian Gonzalez.
The same people who are ready to send any actual Spanish speaking person to make a run for the freaking border also think Jessica Alba is freaking hot.
And they would be 100% right, she is hot. But that got me thinking, there are a lot of Hispanic Celebrities that America just starts treating like they are white people. I know, Alba just looks like a hot white babe with a tan. No, she’s Latina. This never happens to Black people by the way, no matter how many white people like you, you’re still Black. So let’s explore this phenomenon, here is a list:
First, the aforementioned Jessica Alba. The only time she even remotely claimed her Hispanic heritage was when she paid “hip hop chick” in Honey.
Yeah, that was about as convincing as Mariah Carey playing a hard on her luck Black chick in “Glitter“.
Second there’s Cameron Diaz:
Somehow she just became everyone ’s favorite skinny white chick. Her last name is Diaz people, and her hair is not naturally blonde.
Alex Rodriguez:
Ok fine. I don’t really think that people forget that A Rod is Hispanic. Although his white wife and “biggest contract in all of sports ever” seems to point to the fact that most people don’t associate Alex Rodriguez with these dudes.
That picture has nothing to do with anything. It is just fully ridiculous.
Next, there is Eva Longoria:
I guess she gets a pass because she’s hot? Don’t get me wrong, she’s got a pretty face. I know Lake and the interns like her, but I really can’t pinpoint why. Her body is only decent, nothing really stands out about it. Biel’s got the tail, Britney had the legs, and Paris had the sex tape. I just don’t know why I care about this chick yet.
Jennifer Lopez probably doesn’t belong on this list. She played Selena, so she doesn’t exactly shy away from Hispanic Roles. Here’s the deal, she was definitely drifting somewhere around the Diddy/Ben Affleck years.
The key difference here? That ass always let you know you were dealing with something special.
Damn, she really lets that thang hang. Yeah, no one thought they were dealing with a white girl here.
Here’s the real killer. Charlie and Martin Sheen:
Charlie, do you think we really forgot you have a brother named Emilio Estevez? Hell, Martin Sheen’s real name is Mondergard Ramón Gerardo Antonio Estévez. Mondergard? Doesn’t get more authentic than that. That sounds like a name you choose when you start playing World of Warcraft. I think Mondergard is a level 37 Dwarf Shaman. Even Charlie’s real name is Carlos Estevez.
I know the Sheen family meeting where Emilio decided he wasn’t “selling out” the family name and staying a Estevez had to be heated. The messed up thing? Emilio hasn’t had a hot movie since “Young Guns“. I guess becoming “Eddie Sheen” wouldn’t have been such a bad idea after all.

Hispanic is not native or Indian whatsoever not anymore than “John” who’s great great-grandfather came over here from England and had a child with an American Indian native. We didn’t all of a sudden start calling this new mixture “Anglo” as if it were a new race. So why do we presume to call the Indian/Hispanic group “Hispanic” and not Mestizos? True Anglo’s are no more “white” than true “Hispanics”. They both originate from a geographically proximal area in Europe which is chiefly comprised of Caucasian people. There were no Native Indian people in Europe during the time that the French, English, Spanish and Portuguese came to the Americas to plunder its people and resources. So therefore, Hispanic like Anglo is both white. Hispanics mixed with Indian are called Mestizos. Blacks mixed with Franco, Anglo or Hispanic is called Mulatto or Creole. As I mentioned above, everything else is just a mixture. The reason there is such anger and prejudice against Mexicans and other Central and South Americans as well as Caribbean people is because typically the poor ones immigrate here, obviously because of the economic stature of their respective country. Most of them take jobs but because they are poor many of them commit crimes here solidifying the prejudice. Just like here in the States there is prejudice in the country they originate from. Just watch a Novella from one of these countries, most of the actors and actresses are very Caucasian looking which pretty much mirrors the upper-class in these countries. That’s why you don’t see many light skinned and white looking Hispanics jumping the border. They don’t need to because they have it good in their home country, no need to emigrate. There are only 3 races in this world. What are you mixed with?]]>

i dont see why you don’t like i mean to be honest, just look at it this way, how good would it be to be near her in the same room looking at you, my god she is hot.
just a small thing to add, looking at youin the way she is in the picture, now would you truthfully say to Eva no then, i don’t think so…=)
So, you obviously don’t get that hispanic is not a race.There is a such thing as white hispanics and black hispanics. You can’t just say white girls don’t have an ass because to ppl with eyes, j.lo is white but she has latina blood.You mean to say caucasian girls when you are talking about non-hispanic white girls.Jessica Alba is half caucasian and doesn’t speak spanish and Cameron Diaz is also half caucasian so maybe that is why they don’t fit your image of Latina because they are half breeds.
Neither ‘latino’ nor ‘hispanic’ are correct racial terms. ‘Hispanic’ refers principally to a language; one that is spoken by millions of people. Some of the people above are from Spain or of Spanish ancestry. Keep in mind that Spain is a European country. The people there are white and are genetically related to other people. Stop trying to look for something exotic in people like the Estevezes/Sheens. There’s nothing there. Also to all you haters out there hating on people with hispanic surnames who are white, remember that their families had those surnames while yours had not yet been exposed to Spanish culture and language. They are our hereditary names and as a White American of partial Spanish ancestry, I wear mine proudly. Stop labeling people; it gets old.
hispanic is not a race
i think that the guy that said they should speaka da english should be shot seriously thats racist and this is coming from a girl who was born in the fucking USA and those who say that latino of hispanic is not a race FYI who gives a fuck and i think that the person who said that should shut up cause they are black and where did black people come from? exactly so shut the fuck up before someone who does know u beats u up.U JACK ASS, FUCKING RACIST, AND ALSO WHITE PEOPLE GO TO MEXICO ALL THE GOD DAMN TIME SO DONT SPEAK FOR EVERYONE ELSE HOPE THAT U GET ARRESTED U JACK ASS
I don’t see how anyone with a fully functional brain can think Hispanic is a race or that Charlie Sheen is something other than White because he has a Spanish surname. lol. For those that don’t know, Spain is in Europe right next to France and the people there look a lot like Italians and other Southern Europeans. Most people in Mexico and other parts of Latin America are mixed with Indian, some with Black. That is why their phenotype is so diverse. But you still have some people in Latin America who are of pure Spanish or other European descent and that are White.
Dear Brock, I was not born in Mexico I was born here in the US. In Texas, I am a Hispanic American .So fuck you. You fucking white guy that is saying Emilio Estevez didn’t make another good movie since young bloods. Why should we change our names for white people. What makes you better then us or black people or other beautiful races? So fuck you! Javier bardem didn’t change his name. I’m beautiful Hispanic I don’t have to pretend to be white.
I’m sorry if you don’t like what i’m going to say Brock but…you are ignorant. Been latin is not a race. there are many people (specially latinamericans) that truely belives that been latin is a race but they’r wrong. Been latin ( and you can look for the meaning in an encyclopedia ) means been someone that speaks a language origined by Latin the dead language spoke by the Romans. Just like spanish, italian, romanian, french or portuguesse. Its about the language and not a race so Jessica Alba is not Latin and Cameron Diaz is not latin cos their primary language is english. And Charlie Sheen is not latin too. In this case the race of Charlie Sheen is a mixture of Nordic ( his Grandma was Irish ) and Caucasic ( his Grandpa was Spanish ). Guess what, this post wasn’t bad but you messed up with some (I want to belive) mistakes with concepts. Cos maybe its true that there are some celebs that denys their heritage but you didn’t explain this issue correctly.
