someone posted a topic about j-lo's family being all white. just to get to the point, i was so into the movie i didn't notice or care one bit. just like when i was growing up i didn't know the people in la bamba were mexican...i didn't care. a movie is just about loving and watching the movie. they had what is called a casting call...maybe the hispanic actors(if any) didn't make it.

just enjoy the movie and get past all of these pre-disposed race politics that have been put on us for the past hundreds of years. time to move on people!

mixed race? and what would that mixed race be? Tan and White? Seriously... Hispanic is not a race and you don't have to be ADOPTED to be a WHITE Hispanic. Just go to Colombia or Argentina or Venezuela or Brazil. My God, how ignorant.

I didn't even notice until reading this board, but if you thought the comment was so stupid, why make a new thread about it? It was a legitimate point... has nothing to do with race or politics. Get off your high horse already!

yes I just assumed she was of mixed race also....we never did see a picture of her father so...

All I noticed, when she went into labor, is that she was in the back seat with Alice and Mr. C
