She is a Hispanic actress born to Her Dominican father, and her Puerto Rican mother. She has been quoted as saying that she considers herself a black woman. I am mexican & lighter than most Hispanic people but you wont catch me calling myself white just cus my skin is very fair.

Fuck racism. If she wants to be known as black let her. Its her fucking choice!

[HumbleHarry]

It's not that Zoe Saladana wants to be known as black; it's what she is, a woman descended from Africans brought to the Americas in slave ships hundreds of years ago.Clearly, that is not all there is to her heritage, but it's what's most visible. In Hollywood, she can play Dominican and Puerto Rican, which she is, but she will never be cast as Italian, as Jennifer Lopez once was, or Greek American. In order to work, Saldana will play black women, whether from San Juan, Santo Domingo or Compton.

America (north and south) is a mixture of diverse races. Latin america has european, african and native ancestries. Chile, argentina, uruguay etc...are mostly of white european ancestry. Ecuador, bolivia, guatemala, honduras, etc...are mostly of native south american ancestry and cuba, Dominican republic etc...are mostly of black ancestry. So...Being hispanic is not a race but an ethnicity.

@dune310la Well put.

[allsmilez13]

@nessy79gonzales Actually she stresses that she is a Black Latina- so yes she claims her heritage. On a side note, she clearly is of African descent so in America she is considered Black. Dominican & Puerto Rican are nationalities, Black is a race; she can be ALL of those things.

get a life

Latinos are very diverse. They come in all colors.

Little known history to many why Idk?but here:

Blacks and Native Americans were victims of both rape and slavery which caused thier use of Spanish language.which makes them Latino,They were forced to take the Spanish language and customs and become virtual slaves for the Spaniards who settled in countries such Cuba,Peurto Rico,and Jamaica to name a few, so you may see a dark Spanish speaking Latino that is actually African,Taino,both,or a mixture of all including Spanish.

Honestly, I think the reason she says she is black is b/c some people make it seem like you have to be either black or white. There is no gray area. I am puerto rican. I have a similar complexion to Zoe's. If asked to choose between the two I would obviously choose black. But it doesnt make me any less puerto rican. She has been turned down for movie roles b/c of her color so it does make a significant difference.

[Jaycoleism]

She's a sexy afro-Latina....let her identify as she chooses. Quien importa? She can get it any day. Fuck race...they're just social-ass constructs

[ToFester]

Black,White,Latino,Martian who the fuck cares, she fine as fuck i'd bang her and sing any fucking i'm proud of my heritage song she told me to.
