At the beginning of mean streets
I think it might’ve been earlier than that, around 2009 when Avatar came out. It was in Spanish. But she’s been saying she’s black, her and Laz Alonso who was also in Avatar.

I only care because it seems black people were always being deceived by types. Why Do you want them to be on our team so bad?

They are not Black people and they have their own culture. They shouldn’t be claiming anything that has to do with us and we should basically ignore them or see them as hostile.


The simple fact that she did Nina Simone dirty like that says everything.

If they’re of African descent/black origin then they’re black whether you like it or not.

Her and Laz Alonso have been one of the earliest ones to say they’re black. In the beginning of her career she was playing black roles.
Difference is Laz is unambiguously 'Black', while she...

Can you show proof? Because i can get proof of her fighting for latino rights. Just sayin
She has many x spoken on being Afro Latina, y 'una mujer Negra'. Nonetheless there *is always some underlying, or implied caveat.

Black Americans are black. Africans and the majority of west Indians are black. People born in Cuba Dominican republic and Puerto Rico or deemed Latino or Hispanic. Let them stay that way and go on about their business. They cannot eat off our plate.
