Question by Gustavo CL: Why is that you never see the words “latina” or “latino” together with the words “Cameron Díaz”…?
“Alexis Bledel”, “Gisele Bundchen”, “Manu Ginobili”, “Andrés Nocioni”, “Andy García”, etc. But the word “latino” or “latina” comes so easily together with “Eva Longoria”, “Jennifer López”, “Shakira”…? Can someone explain this double standard in the US? Who is behind that?
I see no problem with them beeing white, that’s what they are. I don’t understand why people in the US try to hide that they’re latinos.
mmmm… One part?
Alexis Bledel is 100%
Gisele Bundchen is 100%
Manu Ginobili is 100%
Andrés Nocioni is 100%
Andy García is 100%…
Is that enough?
Cristina Aguilera is 50% like Cameron Díaz. But the word latina is always there, with Cristina.
Don’t distorce things. The people I mentioned are not to be blamed. And if they don’t give too much enphasy on their national origin, they’re 100% right, cause they’re not sectarists. I’m not criticizing them.Best answer:

One part of a person’s heritage, does not make a person a Latino! Otherwise, I could be a German, an Englishman, a Scotsman, an Irishman, a Frenchman. However, I am an unhyphenated American! And, much as I hate to admit it, so is she!
BTW: Why does Ramón Gerardo Antonio Estévez call himself “Martin Sheen”? Is *he* ashamed of his son, Emilio Estevez , or of his own Hispanic heritage?
Wikipedia states that both Gisele Bündchen’s parents are of German descent and are both fluent in German, although she is Brazilian, so if she didn’t call herself “Latino”, who would know? Obviously not you! And Kimberly Alexis Bledel’s name sounds German, so ditto!

It’s called a publicist, and how you want others to see you…
