Ray Zapata: we are people of color, but we represent Spain
Ana Peleteiro: what you mean "of color"? We are black. They're the ones who are people of color, their skin color changes more than the sun
When I'm born I'm black, when I grow up I'm black, when I'm in the sun I'm black, when I'm sick I'm black, when I die I'm black, and you...when you're born you're pink, when you grow up you're white, when you're cold you're blue, when you're sick you're green, when you die you're grey and you dare call me coloured.
