HA! Ha! That article is funny. Yeah - when I worked at ____ and [Jessica] Alba was represented by them - she hated to associate herself as "Mexican" "Hispanic" or "Latina". I had no respect for her then and I certainly still don't.... She'll use her "Latinaness" when it suits her one day. I love my heritage and I have blond highlights in my hair but I will NEVER forget where I come from! Alba is a definite coconut. But good commentary on her!
