A Proud Latina

Filed under: Latinolicious > Jessica Alba > Fergie

fergie__opt1.jpg

All the speculating can cease.

The Black Eyed Peas' Fergie is indeed a Latina.

“Yes, I have Mexican in my ancestry,” Fergie tells Latina magazine. “My Dad's grandmother was born in Guanajuato. I’m very proud of it; that’s probably where I get my fire!"

The mag asks her why her Latina background has been so ambiguous. Fergie answers, "I don’t go around claiming it big time because there are many more full-bred Latinas that are out there to represent.”

Jessica "Don't Call Me Latina" Alba, you reading? Be a little more like Fergie — proud of where your family comes from!

Even if it's just your dad's grandma!

    Shut up Perez… Who care about anyones heritage. They are actors/singers etc because of their talent, not their race.
    and leave Jessica Alba alone. What's any of it have to do with you?
    btw.. i'm part cuban and i WISH you'd stop talking about you being cuban cause you make us look worse than anything castro could ever do!

    Are you fucking kidding me? Jessica Alba said almost the EXACT same thing, but you bashed her for it. BOTH of them simply said they don't overclaim their heritage because there are others who are more latina than they are. Alba said the same thing, more or less. You just didn't like it coming from her. You can be bitchy, Perez, but at least admit that you're being bitchy.

    Of course she's latina didn't she grow up in Hacienda Heights? I thought that she had already told everyone she was part Mexican? Well regardless it's nice for her to be proud.

    She's NOT Latina. Why should she exploit her dad's grandmother heritage? That'd so FAKE and dishonest of her. Fergie makeup is 99.9999% White European.

  34. No says – reply to this
    34

    One should take pride in THEIR OWN activities and accomplishments. Being "proud of where your family comes from" is insipid. You are an ass, "Perez."

  35. MIA says – reply to this
    35

    Latino isn't a race. So she's not dissing a race, she just doesn't identify with the mexican culture. If Jessica identifies more with her White mother's culture then that's her problem.

  42. Tammy says – reply to this
    42

    Shut the fuck up, Perez. It would be more hypocritical for someone to say that they're "proud" of a background if they don't know much about it. If I were born in California, and my great-grandmother is from, oh, I don't know, Brazil, I wouldn't go around claiming to be Brazilian, especially if I don't know much, if anything, about the culture, because that would just be hypocritical.

  43. ... says – reply to this
    43

    Who the hell cares? I hate how you constantly put Jessica Alba down for her not shouting through the streets that she's mexican & proud. It's just how she is, how she was raised, and how she chooses to be. OF ALL PEOPLE, I WOULD THINK YOU COULD RESPECT THAT. You're a MAN, so why don't you ACT like one? You're basically saying that because she's latina she has to follow a certain guideline, so why aren't you following the "natural" way's of men?

    Jessica is a snobby bitch priss. Fergie is a sweet, down to earth coole person who works her butt off. unlike untalented priss ass Jessican who can't even admit to being latina! Love Fergie! ! I met her, she is a sweetheart!

    What is there to be proud of? Beaners are dirty, foul subhumans created from God's shit. Due to their insignificantly small brains and lazy lifestyle, they can only take up easy jobs. Beaners are worthless creatures that need to be shot. Their skin is the color of shit for a reason. Brown pride indeed.

    Fergie is so until her fame, I personally dont believe she cares where her ancestry is from.
    This could just be a publicity stunt to get further fans.
    I think its good she reocgnizes her background but in all honesty she acts nothing more than your typical American Girl

    FErgie is NOT pretending to be anything she is not.She could have used her latino background and exagerated it! She just admitted she is, and she is proud of it. She does not overdo it, and says others should represent more!

    She handled it perfectly and never pretended to be more than she is.

    She is the best!

    WHY WOULD ANYONE EVEN ADMIT THEY ARE LATIN IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WHEN MEXICANS ARE GROSS AND ARE THE LOWEST OF ALL CRIMINALS.
    THEY FIRST SNEAK INTO OUR COUNTRY AND THEN KILL OUR CITIZENS. OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD I CAN THINK OF 5 AMERICANS THAT WERE RECENTLY KILLED BY THESE MUD PEOPLE. THINK THE BLACK KID IN LA . THE 3 BLACK COLLEGE KIDS IN NEWARK, NJ. THINK THE MARINE IN THE ARMY WHO WAS RAPED THEN HAD HER BODY ALONG WITH HER UNBORN BABY BURNED AND BURIED IN THAT DAMNED MEXICANS BACKYARD.

    YOU CAN ARGUE ALL DAY LONG THAT WHITE PEOPLE DO BAD THINGS TOO IN AMERICA. THAT IS THE WRONG ARGUMENT.

    THE RIGHT QUESTION IS HOW MANY AMERICANS GO TO MEXICO AND MURDER AND ABUSE THE SERVICES OF THE MEXICAN PEOPLE. YOU KNOW IF ONE WHITE AMERICAN DID THAT THE FUCKING DIRTY MEXICANS WOULD TAKE TO THE STREETS AND DEMAND UNFAIRNESS IN BETWEEN BURNING DOWN NEIGHBORHOODS AND LOOTING STORES.

    “My Dad's grandmother"
    so she is only 1/8 Latina who cares?She said that in the Latina mag she is trying to gain Latino fans.
    And im sure you hate Alba for another reason than the "Don't Call Me Latina"

    Perez-I don't think anybody really cares where people come from anymore (certainly not most of the people reading your website) - I don't go running around proudly announcing my British/French/Polish/Cherokee/Greek/Swedish/ Danish background because it really doesn't matter. Would u be insulted if some actress wasn't announcing her French or Polish heritage, as you are about Alba's (or any other person for that matter) not discussing their Hispanic roots ad nauseum. You come across as a bigoted as any white person who runs around getting mad at other white people for not proudly announcing their superior northern European heritage. Stop it. You sound uneducated and close-minded.

    MEXICANS TAKE AND TAKE AND TAKE AND TAKE AND ARE STUPID ENOUGH TO THINK GOD WILL PROVIDE WHEN THEIR GARGOYLE HEADED WOMEN CRAP OUT MORE KIDS THEN THEY CAN AFFORD.

    MEXICANS HAVE RUINED LOS ANGELES AND ARE SOON TO RUIN THE CITY NEAR YOU.
    THEY ABUSE OUR HOSPITALS AND WE PAY FOR THEM WITH A HIDDEN FEE IN OUR HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUMS.

    THEY MAKE US WAIT IN LINE AT THE ER WHILE THEY GET TREATED FOR FLU SYMPTONS. IT'S TRUE.

    THEY FILL OUR JAILS UP.
    THEY FORCE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO TAKE THEIR KIDS OUT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND PUT THEM IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS.
    THE FUCKING MEXICAN KIDS HAVE LESS THAN A FIFTY PERCENT GRADUATION RATE. WHY BOTHER?

    YOU CAN WRITE WHAT YOU LIKE BUT JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE FACES OF THE SHIT THAT FILLS THE LA TIME CRIME BLOTTER. YOU WON'T BE HATING ON WHITE PEOPLE IF YOU TAKE A LOOK.

    AMERICANS SHOULD BE JUST AS OUTRAGED AS I AM THAT OUR STUPID POLITICIANS GIVE THESE ANIMALS SANTUARY WHEN THEY ARE RUINING OUR . NOT THEIRS COUNTRY. THESE ARE FACTS!

    I just want to say that I hope you realize one day that there are other movie stars, like CAMERON DIAZ, that are technically more latino/latina than Jessica Alba and hide it 10 times as much as she supposedly does. Do a lil reaserch sometime and you'll be suprised how many are out there.

  63. sexyndacity says – reply to this

    I like fergie. That doesn't count. THATS HER GREAT GRANDMOTHER. That's not even a quarter mexican. She is white point blank. You just have a father that has a mexican grandmother. She could have tried to learn something about her heritage but I feel her. Latina isn't the only thing she is mixed with. SHe has Irish, and Scottish blood. That's a crazy mix.

    Who gives a flying fuck where you're from or what your ancestory is??? Why are you so obsessed with this, Perez? You're in America now, you're an American. Who cares about the poverty and shit you came from? Why don't I ever hear anyone say, "Yes, I'm part Mexican or Cuban, but I'm American now, which I'm really proud of, so it doesn't matter." The reason we never hear that is because you people are misguided liberals.

    I wonder if you just like to joke about Jessica Alba over and over again. It is funny too me. That is cool that fergie is part latina (or 1/8) whatever. More importantly she is engaged to the hottest guy ever!! I don't care what his background is he is 100% hot.

    that is because Jessica Alba is full Mexican she just denies it and says her mom is Danish which is not true how many times have you seen her Wikipedia biography change her race why is she is so ashamed of her Mexican roots how can someone say they ain't Mexican when your mother looks more Chicana than you dumb broad
