Why Did She Even Bother???

Filed under: Jessica Alba > Barack Obama

A bunch of Latino stars, including Alejando Sanz and Paulina Rubio, have banded together to make a video for Barack Obama.

They're all speaking Spanish in it, except for Jessica "Don't Call Me Latina" Alba, who speaks in English.

Her presence there is so laughable!

    Why is she so scared to be called Latina? I dont get that. Is she mixed with other things so she doesnt want to be called just one race?

    She looks so embarassed to even be in the commercial. Her body language just says it all. Just because you WERENT raised Latina, doesn't mean your blood isn't Latino.

    She's so stupid. Trying to be white. You're not white honey!!!!!!!!

    Why does everyone think she is so hot? She's cute, but she is not gorgeous and has absolutely no sex appeal. She's definitely no Angelina Jolie in the looks department.

    What a lame comment from Alba - it had nothing to do with Obama.

    It wouldn't have killed her to learn a line or two and speak some Spanish! I took enough Spanish classes over the years to understand almost everything those celebs were saying, and I don't even consider myself fluent!!! She's REALLY stupid, though.

  21. cool says – reply to this

    She threw the whole video off. Why couldn't she have just said that in spanish? I think thet was the whole point to the video…

    Perez, she tells people she is Pakistani. It's so obviously not true. She is Latina and she is so ashamed. She should brush up on her spanish or at least say something that makes her believable. I find her fake and garbage. She also is so not hot.

  27. mmmmmm says – reply to this
    27

    perez, why do you discriminate against latinos who've been in this country for more than a couple of generations? any group of people whose ancestors have been here for more than 2 generations lose their ability to speak the earlier language - certainly they don't speak it as a "mother tongue". imagine your grandchildren. will they speak Spanish and identify so completely with being Cuban as you do? I sincerely doubt it, no matter how hard you might try.

    what was the point of having her in that commercial anyway? she didnt add anything to it.

  29. aaa says – reply to this

    She does seem out of place. Who allowed her to do that if the ad is targeted towards a spanish audience? I must say however that the ad is like a bad reggae vid. LOSE THE SONG!! JUST LET THE PEOPLE SPEAK (without jessica) THEIR MINDS WITHOUT THAT DUMB ASS SONG IN THE WAY!

    i seriously dont know why they added her into this video,everyone was together as one representing latinos and latinas and here comes ms."dont call me latina"alba speaking in english.i seriously think shes such an embarassment to all latinos for not wanting to be called latina.she IS hispanic and she should be proud of her race

  32. Malibu says – reply to this

    Good for her. After all, last time I checked ENGLISH is still the official language of the United States…not Spanish.

    She is not Paki. She tells people she's Pakistani too. She's an insult to her culture. She makes me ill. BARF! Jessica Alba is disgusting and so fake.

    I still don't understand why us as a latin community want to make her something she is not.. she doesn't want to be latina, oh well her life! If she isn't willing to accept her origins then let her be, she doesn't deserve the attention the latin community want to give her! Just don't mix her with the latinos!

    This is so pathetic half of the people on that video (Paulina, Alejandro,…) are not citizens and therefore they cant vote! Paulina was even denied her right to apply cause she gave positive on the drug test

    Hey Perez..I'm sure your Spanish sucks too! Get off her case! I don't know why you are so obsessed with her like you are? Maybe you want to be pretty Hollywood actress, and God just made you a fat, ugly drag queen blogger!

  46. Perez says – reply to this
    46

    So what you're saying is that "latinos", "hispanics" or whatever term is politically correct today can't understand English? Last time I checked, English was the language of the United States and she is choosing to speak the language of her birth nation. What's laughable about that? You are such a petulant asshole. Your site sucks. You suck. Wait til karma comes looking for you.

    Jessica Alba is such a fake and disgusting person. Not to mention a terrible actress.

  48. huh? says – reply to this

    that's because she doesn't want to be associated with spics who stab people, steal, and have 15 kids by the time they're 23 years old.

    Why is that clown even in the video??? She should have at least made an effort to learn some Spanish for this video. All the other artists are real artists who are extremly proud of their raices. Go LationS!!!! Si Se Puede.

  53. Jane says – reply to this
    53

    why should she speak Spanish when she is american? If you don't stop acting like we are all a bunch of tribes when we are a NATION, we won't get anywhere. Stop hyphenating and start working for unity. Obama likes to talk about racism as IF he has been exposed to it. He went to a private exclusive prep school, went to an upper class law school- makes millions, etc. He didn't spend his childhood in the USA, so he couldn't have faced anything there. So he comes in and is influenced by racists. He COULD have been great. But he isn't a uniter. he is, in fact, a divider. He can't stop dealing with hateful people. And white people- he hates YOU. By the way, this is NOT Mexico or Cuba, etc. Immigrants used to be so proud of how their kids spoke English. You act like speaking English is a crime!

    ugh! who the hell invited jessica alba to participate. I read her latina magazine article. are you fucking kidding me? its a "poor jessica" was rejected by her community cuz she doesnt speak spanish article. It made the latino community seem elitist or rejecting of people who dont speak spanish. Fucking ridiculous! If someone can please send this jessica alba! JESSICA ERES UNA IDOTA! will smith goes to mexico, he doesnt speak spanish and they love him! SELENA sang in spanish but really didnt speak it in conversation and people loved her! THATS THE LAMEST EXCUSE I EVER HEARD. You have a shitty ass attitude and a shitty personality. THATS WHY PEOPLE DONT LIKE YOU. you have no carisma. I hate people like you that will bank off our community. Getting the latina magazine covers, people en espanol covers, and now our obama commercials? your probably a closeted republican voting for mccain.

    it's not like the child will ever know it has latin roots, anyways.

    Jessica Alba is not Pakistani. She is Mexican and she can deny it all she wants, but the proof is there. She can't keep track of her lies because she's a fake. Her acting is also so bad, no wonder all of her movies tank.

    Why is she even in the commercial??? Alba is not proud of bein a Latina…. and I guess memorizing a couple of lines in Spanish is above her intelectual level. Que pena me das chica!

  67. 67

    you're right she is laughable. Why do people bother with her she probably thinks Obamas white like her…I mean they do live in estados unidos together. Jessica "dont call me latina" alba that means the US in spanish…please don't cash in on your roots when it suits you you have no idea how much it hurts PROUD latinas
