Her Latin (Mexican roots)


She should embrace her Mexican roots. She has a darker skin tone for the blonde hair she tried to pass off. There is nothing bad to having a Mexican father. She is a sellout.

She dyed her hair for the 2nd Marvel Fantastic Four movie, right? It was for a job.

She is a sellout.
You know, sometimes I hate people...Only losers use that word, "sellout," in my book. Please define "sellout." If you can.

You are ridiculous. I think people from Mexico would take offense to you saying they can't dye their hair. Like the other poster said ...it was for a movie. I think you should be more concerned with your research skills.

I know she has Hispanic roots. Her last name is Hispanic.

But Alba really looks Caucasian to me.

“ And my kids are black and Mexican so there's a connection to what's happening."

WTF....her husband looks white to me.

Cash Warren may visually pass for white, but he's the son of Hill Street Blues actor Michael Warren, a black man.

Alba is part Mexican but has more European ancestry & her husband is a light skinned black man. Technically biracial.

I’m pretty sure I remm a interview where she consider herself white not Latina. She racist against her own people

reply

I'm not sure how common it is, but all the people I've known who have a Latino dad and a non-Latina mom tend to be *very* American, not speaking Spanish at all and not having any grasp whatsoever of their dad's culture. That's just the way they grew up.

reply

She never rejected her roots (Mexican or Danish). Besides, Mexican nationals don't consider her Mexican anyways so why should she pretend to be one?

Even when you go to Mexico as a tourist you will find it to be quite a diverse country with many states having their own cultural identity. Many regions like Sinaloa, Jalisco, and Sonora have their own identity.
