Jessica Alba Does Latina Magazine

Jessica ‘Don’t Call Me Latina’ Alba defends herself in the upcoming issue of Latina Magazine against rumors that she renounced her Latin roots.
During the interview Alba revealed her and boyfriend Cash Warren look forward to having a baby of color, and wish that it be darker rather than light.
On what she wants her baby to look like: “I’m excited for my baby to be brown. I just have to believe the dark gene is going to survive. Cash and I are like, please!”
Watch her shit a brick if that kid comes out dark.

Latina Magazine Interview after the jump!
On her reluctance to walk the red carpet at Latin events: “I’ll support those shows, but I can’t go on the press lines and have people make me feel bad about myself. Life is too short. I can’t change how I grew up, and I shouldn’t have to apologize for it. I know I feel close to the Latin community, because that’s what I grew up with.”
On claims that she’s proud to have cut loose from her Mexican roots: “I never said that. Cut loose from what? What the hell are they talking about? Why would I want to cut loose from the only family I know?”
On not learning to speak Spanish as a child: “I wish to God that my dad spoke Spanish to my brother and me, but he didn’t grow up with it.”
On confusing other men for her dad as a kid: “When I was little, I used to go up to black men and hold their legs, thinking it was my dad all the time. I’d wrap my arms around them, then look up and be like, ‘Oh my God!’”
On being accepted for who she is in Hollywood: “I was always trying to figure out: How the hell am I going to be mainstream? How are people going to accept me? When are the going to get a clue that I am American, that this is what America looks like–people like me who are mixed, have different blood, mixed with different ethnicities? When are the people who are hiring for these jobs and writing these screenplays going to realize that?”
On what she wants her baby to look like: “I’m excited for my baby to be brown. I just have to believe the dark gene is going to survive. Cash and I are like, please!”





This chick is so dumb and deluded, does she not have a publicist to tell her to shut the fuck up!!!
and yep I agree she will shit a brick if that kid is dark! she’ll give it to Angelina or Madonna to adopt!
is she serious? omg this bitch is so dumn. lmao@ brown gene!!!!!she playes more white characters then jlo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg what a fucking fonly
I guess considering the fact that Cash is half-black (his dad is former NBA star & Hill Street Blues’ Michael Warren)that may be a distinct possibility…..that’s probably why she’s throwing it out there ahead of time. So the public won’t be shocked.
tru dat!
didn’t she totaly hate her childhood b/c she was more “ethnic”….? or was that longoria whining about her “shameful coloring”?
Completely possible that her child comes out real dark. Cash’s father is black. Don’t call me Latina Alba is a lie teller.
She is gorgeous. Seems saw her before on a interracial dating site interracialloves.com But don’t know if it is her.
What a numbskull! She is Latina and Cash Warren (Hill Street Blues’ Michael Warren’s son) is Black. What color does she think the child will be? It will be a lighter shade of brown fool. I can see that Gregor Mendel or genetics was NOT part of this woman’s science lesson. Boooooooooooo! Use some of that Hollywood money to buy you some sense. Let’s just pray that she’s a better parent than she is a scholar.
I read that interview with her denouncing the fact that she was hispanic I think it was in Cosmopolitan and I couldnt believe it! I will never support her in anything she does! She is trying to redeem herself but its too little too late!!
asiaticstatic, you are no genius either. don’t you know the kid could come out 100% white since both parents are each half white and the kid inherits half its genes from each parent?! shes making sense here, yall just mad she aint latina ‘by culture’ – which is really all that matters.
Oohsnap, you don’t know what the hell you are talking about. Whether Alba admits it or not, she will always be a Latina. Culture or not, she is what she is, and that’s Hispanic. If a white person is raised in a culture that is anything but they’re own, that still makes them white because of genetics. And nothing Alba says or doesn’t say will ever change that!
she will always be a Latina.

What? White, Latina, brown, who gives a damn! She’s just as much Cacausian as she is Latin, so there! To be more acurate, she’s “other.” Plus, just because you’re latin doesn’t mean your not white. Her Spanish ancestory could be a lot stronger on the hispanic side, meaning she could be more caucasian than anything. She doesn’t have an identity crisis here, but rather, is enjoying the fact that she’s unique/mixed.
