Jessica Alba in Para Todos magazine last year (via Popcrunch):

“I’ve got cousins galore. Mexicans just spread all their seeds. And the women just pop them out…”

“My grandfather was the only Mexican at his college, the only Hispanic person at work and the only one at the all-white country club. He tried to forget his Mexican roots, because he never wanted his kids to be made to feel different in America. He and my grandmother didn’t speak Spanish to their children. Now, as a third-generation American, I feel as if I have finally cut loose…”

“I had a very American upbringing, I feel American, and I don’t speak Spanish. So, to say that I’m a Latin actress, OK, but it’s not fitting; it would be insincere…”

Una gran cantidad de insincerity comin’ right up! Here’s Alba in next month’s issue of Latina magazine:

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 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!”

Now, I could say that I was angered and disappointed by the way she turned her back on her heritage, and I’m glad she finally wised up. Or I could say that she was brave to reject identity politics, asking people to judge her based on her accomplishments (such as they are) instead of her genetics, and it’s pathetic how she’s now bowing to pressure and pandering to the forces of political correctness.

But mainly I just wanted an excuse to post a picture of Jessica Alba in a bikini. Check it out, here’s another one!
