re: Variety: Jessica Alba says the MCU is "still quite Caucasian"

quote:

---

Jessica Alba finds out she's 87% white.

---

And the audience groaned and booed.

She also seemed quite upset.

quote:

---

Her mother has Danish, Welsh, German, English and French ancestry

---

quote:

---

Alba has described her family as being a "very conservative family – a traditional, Catholic, Latin American family" and herself as very liberal; she says she had identified herself as a "feminist" as early as age five.

---

Well you ain't so Latin Jessica unless by Latin you mean French Latin.

quote:

---

Crossfit Enthusiasts conclude that the best way to get in shape is... well, Crossfit.

---

The only way to get Crossfit people to shutup about Crossfit is get them to vape.

They won't shut up, but they will change the subject matter.

Hmmm, all this time. I thought she was also white.

Possibly? It depends if her grandparents are half Latino (each being from Mexican immigrants who married locals) or full Latino (both coming from a pair of immigrants each).

I only saw the quote, so I don't know if the end result is a parent who is 100% Latino, 75% Latino, or 50% Latino, but the wording leaves it open for all 3 possibilities. That, in turn, could have her as little as 25% Latino, possibly.

What if all of the European ancestors you listed were part Latino? What if you'd go to any length to rationalize that this obviously brown person isn't brown?

For frick's sake, she's never hidden her white ancestry. Quit trying to make her out to be a Rachel Dolezal.

Brown Actress

That’s quite a stretch

Upper class people in a lot of Latin American countries are very insular.

They tend to be related to Europeans who have ruled there forever.

The lower classes are the ones far more likely to be descended from the native tribes.


Christina Aguilera, for example, claims to be a sizable percentage Ecuadorian. May be true but she is whiter than mayo. Most Ecuadorians that I know are much darker than her.

Alba said. “I would say I was one of the few back in the day

Just like female directors, action stars, etc. of the younger generation trying to claim glass-ceiling breaking, this is an insult to all, like Wesley Snipes, Michael Jai White, etc., who actually did it before (and better than) her.

Would eat literal corn out of her shite

Looks like we found the dude who doesn't know shite about dna or genetics. Watch Finding Your Roots someday, you might learn something from Skip Gates. Did you watch the George Lopez clip posted earlier? Miss Alba is 87% European. You know, a white woman, not a brown woman. Her last name in Latin literally means white. It's like people who mistakenly think Ariana Grande is Hispanic. She's not, she's mostly Italian.

No one said anything that could be construed as calling her Rachel Dolezal. Except you, with the claim that she's "obviously a brown person." She isn't.
