I think she meant to say that Spanish people, like italians, portuguese and french are considered latins, and in the US white usually means anglo saxon, east european or nordic.
European would be any part of Europe, Anglo Saxons, Nordic are Northern Europeans, Eastern Europeans would be Slavs, Russians, etc. Spain is on the West coast of Europe, and British islands are North West of Spain.
@@pawelkrowalski3730 french are latin If you don't know latin means someone that speak a romance language. If you don't know what romance language is, they came from Latin. Latius was a region in Italy and latin was the language from that area. French people are also from Roman roots. If you don't know what latin culture means, you don't have to talk here.

no one who is actually Spanish (you know , the ones born in Spain ) says they are not white. it's usually the ones who are from South America that call themselves Spanish.
The race "Spanish" and "Latin" is a creation of americans. People from Latin America have a complex ethnicity but they never say they are "latin" or "spanish" outside USA. Im Brasilian and if u ask someone on the streets about theirs races they would probably say they are white or black or mixed-race or asian, but never "latin".
however so is Italy, yet they are significantly non european, rather a lot of arab, west asian and other similar ancestry. But yes for Iberia, they are mostly european
@@JM-vr6ii yeah, most of us are black actually Now in all seriousness, are you kidding me? Not being caucasian doesn't mean not being white, and most of us here are white
How the hell was she expecting "mostly native American" when she already knew her mom is white? She wouldn't be "mostly native American" even if her Mexican dad was 100% indigenous. If she had any sort of knowledge she would realize her Mexican dad is mestizo, which is a mix of European(Spanish) and indigenous peoples. But then again she didn't even know Spain is in Europe. She's lucky they only revealed her ancestry results and not IQ.
@It's Okay What nonsense. You know half of present day contiguous US was once a Spanish colony? White just means a person of European descent and Christian background. Skin color doesn't make much difference. So yes, Italians, Spaniards, Portuguese French all are whites.
You are correct! It’s a shame that most Mexicans don’t know this! Especially in 2021. And it’s not all on jessica ... george Lopez didn’t know enough to correct her. 99.99% of mexicans think Mexican is a race. They also think you are less Mexican or white washed if you don’t speak Spanish. Heres some math :Spain is in Europe = Europeans are white= so Mexicans are white washed too and speak a white language lol oh the ignorance my ppl please stop getting defensive an look at the signs right in front of you . Your flag has a native America legend on it (eagle w/snake in mouth) , you literally have pyramids, you country is named after ONE tribe indigenous to Mexico and you speak a white language! Us natives in US don’t have none of that yet we still know our languages and know our culture and still fight US wars and are great full to be Americans! Two can racist at the same time !
It's actually NOT. Iberian pensuila is something totally different. Iberian pensuila includes Spain. So Spanish people area totally different people group. Well technically since it is placed IN Europe the ethnic group is completely different.

Well…..she lives in a country that teaches people that Whites are bad so she naturally is reluctant to accept the fact that she’s part of a demonized group.
The word "Alba" means white in Latin :) "Alb" is a common prefix for names/words meaning white throughout the European cultures, hence we get Albany, Alabaster, Albus (think Dumbledore), Albania, Albion, Albino. Of course her first name is a feminin form of the Hebrew Jessie :)
@googisfreeAlba comes from latín "albus" White, But means sunrise in spanish, But It's not conmon Here in Spain surnames about this kind of phenomenons, I'ts a toponímic surname( because of the land, village, town..) there's Alba in Teruel, Alba de Tormes in salamanca and many others. Alba also It's used as a femenine First name.
She’s grown up and been treated like and raised as a Mexican American. She was raised in a very traditional Catholic Latin American family. So I think to find out your DNA is mostly European and not indigenous would be confusing. She may not have a great understanding of Mexican people as their DNA (unless they’re purely indigenous) is from Spain and mixed with indigenous. But even those people can be very dark skinned, like her father in the crowd. You never would think white when looking at him, and we white people definitely never saw Jessica Alba as a white girl either
@@lillitudesaulniers9275when you say we white people you can’t speak for all of us because I definitely thought she was white. But I’m guessing you’re American because it’s all mixed when it comes to race there. And yes dark skin can be found in Europe in some places e.g Spain like you said and even England/wales.
What about Jennifer Lopez? Her mother is European and her father is a fair-skinned, fair-haired Puerto Rican. Yet-- especially when she sprays her body tan-- she is considered "exotic" as well. JL's really less exotic-looking than Catherine Zeta-Jones, who's Welsh. I don't think I've ever seen full-blood Amerindian person whose features were similar to Alba's. She looks far more Southern European than Amerindian to me. I've seen French actresses who resemble her more than Amerinidans do.
Lopez is probably more than 70% European, the rest maybe Taino ancestry, some say she could have subsaharan African blood but look at Alba, many thought she would have black in her too but she didn’t, zero percent, and Lopez facial features are far more defined and European/Mediterranean than her, in the South of Spain, south of Italy and Greece you could find many women with the same facial features as Jennifer Lopez, it’s just that in the US anyone with roots in Latin America is seen as non-white unless they have blonde hair and blue eyes, if the surname of Jennifer Lopez was Ruffini no one would have questioned whether or not she was a Caucasian woman.
I remember when I was in High-school (When Jersey Shore was at peak popularity) and getting in an argument this Mexican girl because I said Italian people were white and she acted like I was insane for saying that. It lasted for that entire class period (so an hour) and she walked acting as if I was an idiot. Lol
😂😂ITALIAN IS NOT AND ETHNICITY NOR A RACE! ITALIANS ARE BOTH WHITE SUCH AS NORTHERN ITALIAN DESCENT AND RACIALLY MEDITERRANEAN COMMONLY WITH SOUTHERN ITALIAN DESCENT! AND THOSE OF MEDITERRANEAN ITALIAN DESCENT WE ARE THE REAL ETHNICALLY LATINO MEN AND WOMEN! LEARN HISTORY! “Latino”? No. Indigenous Americans and mestizo Americans etc. of south Central American and Méxican origins are Not Latino as they are Not people of Mediterranean Latin origin. Hence the term LATIN_O. Real Latino/Latin people at the prominent Mediterranean descendants of Latin Europe, specifically the Mediterranean Italian descendants. Hence how the place Latina Italy got the historical Latin name Latina. Hence how Latin Europe became Latin Europe. It makes absolutely zero sense for people who have Nothing to do with being of Actual Latin origin to call themselves the misappropriated/ linguistically mutilated Latin European term Latino. Claiming to be “Latino” has become trending propaganda to appear more desirable for social status for social advantage amongst culturally ignorant people who suffer from an apparent cultural identity crisis. “Latin” America got its name SOLELY and ONLY to mean the part of the Americas that were conquered and ruled by Latin European countries in opposition to Anglo America which was conquered and ruled by the Anglo European country. BOTH terms were only created to mean Latin European territory and Anglo Europes territory. It ends there. It makes as much sense for indigenous Americans and mestizo Americans etc. to call themselves “Latino” that it does for Filipinos and other Asians who were also conquered and ruled by Latin European countries to call themselves “Latino”. The same with the Africans who were conquered and ruled by Latin European countries and therefore named the united states of “Latin” Africa. NONE of these places are Latin countries as they are Not countries of Latin origin which is where the Latin culture natively was Present that being ITALY/ LATIN EUROPE. The people of these colonized places they are Not Latin people as they are Not the prominent descendants from the indigenous Latin tribes/ ethnicity of Italy and Roman derived Latin Europe. You can Not be part of an origin, history and ethnicity which your ancestors factually are Not historically responsible for. Without Italy there would Not be the term Latino. So to claim “Latino” when you have No true prominent cultural inheritance from the Mediterranean Latin ancestors of Italy is an abhorrent form of cultural negation, cultural erasure and cultural theft. And true ethnically Latin Mediterranean people we share much of our DNA with the Middle East, North Africa and other Mediterranean descendants such as Albania and Greece. This is Nothing new in history. Us culturally rooted True Latin descendants specifically us Mediterranean Italian descendants only use the term Latino/ Latin in reference to those of Latin European origins specifically of Mediterranean descent with typical brown Mediterranean features with typical olive Mediterranean skin types. Any one else who has absolutely Nothing to do with being Latin claiming to be “Latino” is a false caricature and mockery towards us True and Real ethnically Latino Mediterranean people. Being willingly ignorant and willingly uneducated because you have been brainwashed to believe a False bias and erroneous definition of Latino which is fueled by misappropriation and cultural erasure of Italian Latin terms, and therefore only accepting false misinformation to further validate your erroneous perspective of what being “Latino” means does Not magically erase and rewrite almost 3,000 years of actual Latin history and the sole people who are historically responsible for it. Calling yourself “Latino” when you have Nothing to do with being of actual prominent Latin descent is No different than calling yourself a unicorn, calling yourself a unicorn does Not actually make you a unicorn, and it sounds equally ridiculous, erroneous and delusional. The same with calling yourself Latino when you are Not of prominent Mediterranean Latin descent. The cultural identity crisis amongst south Central Americans and Méxicans has created a true form of psychological detachment from their cultural identity which is why they feel so valid misusing cultural terms that are a complete misrepresentation of who they are, while at the same time these people are misrepresenting the historical group of actual Latin people who belong to these Latin terms that they are in fact misappropriating. If you can Not confidently call yourself Mediterranean, then you have No cultural inheritance to call yourself The Mediterranean term Latino. Calling a person of actual Latin Mediterranean origin who is educated and rooted and has honor for their heritage and the accomplishments of their ancestors “Ignorant” is the typical American/ Anglo language mentality of gaslighting in attempts to feel that the misappropriation and cultural R@pe of Latin Italian terms is justified and valid, it is Not nor will it ever be. To claim you are “Latino” because of the similarities you have simply because of the forced influences due to colonialism is true ignorance and even more willingly stupid. And the people you mentioned with so called “Latin European” ancestry of south Central American and Méxican origins are MESTIZO AMERICANS and it ends there. Mestizo They are a completely different group of people and their own ethnic group and it is Not the same as Latino. the same way there are Filipinos who are MESTIZO ASIANS NOT LATINO. The same way there are similarities due to colonialism in the Spanish East Indies, the same influences that are in the United States of Latin Africa due to colonialism. The same reason there are similarities with all Anglo language speaking countries due to England spreading their influencess through colonialism. And yet we are Not calling the people of the Spanish East Indies the false cultural term “Latino”, Nor are we calling the people of Latin Africa “Latino”, Nor are we calling all English speakers around the world the false term “Anglo Saxon” simply because they speak the English language and have influences from their Anglo Saxon conquerors. It is common sense to know that if you were conquered and ruled by a group of people that the influences of those people will be present, that is literally how colonialism works and is the very point of colonialism. Big surprise there. And yes I will agree that there are many people whose origins come from southern Europe that immigrated to all of the Americas, and the southern Europeans of prominent Mediterranean descent they are Latin. And we have typical Mediterranean features and look like Mediterranean people. Again if you can Not confidently call yourself Mediterranean then you have No cultural right to call yourself the Mediterranean term Latino/Latin. And you are right, as people who’s ancestors are solely historically responsible for the Latin culture we decide how the Latin terms which we are solely historically responsible for are used, and we use to only for actual Latin Mediterranean people, Not for indigenous Americans who were colonized by Latin European countries. The same way the Anglo Saxon English people in England are Not going to ever call all the people of the USA despite of their origins the false term Anglo Saxons simply because they were conquered and forcefully influenced by them. And also there is absolutely zero validity in how the USA or any other country that has adopted the Anglo languages misuse of the Italian/ Latin European term Latino/Latin as it is a misappropriation, mutilation and cultural R@p3 of Latin Terms in the Anglo language! There is No validity in taking a historical Latin term which comes from Italy and trying to erase and rewrite its meaning and the history and people it has which is almost 3,000 years old from Italy/ Latin Europe. Uneducated Americans who suffer from psychological cultural detachment due to having a cultural identity crisis do NOT decide how a term is used Nor decide what a term means when they factually and historically have absolutely Nothing to do with creating that term Nor the cultural identity that is associated with that term, being Latino/Latin. And to believe you have some magical ability to erase and rewrite almost 3,000 years of Latin history and the sole people historically responsible for it is completely delusional. And these delusions have been tolerated and encouraged by culturally incompetent people such as Anglo language Speakers and other uneducated countries that have foolishly adopted the false linguistic influences of the “powerful” USA’s misnomer language and misnomer terms. To pretend that indigenous Americans, mestizo Americans, pardos, Zambos, Afros etc. of south central America and Mexico are similar to Mediterranean actual Latin people is once again a delusional attempt to feel valid within the cultural identity crisis and psychological cultural detachment that those like you suffer from. Again only uneducated people and people who have absolutely nothing to do with being Latin would only encourage and tolerate this delusional form of cultural R@p3 towards us true Latin people of Mediterranean descent of prominent Latin European origins. While educated people of actual Prominent Latin descent see it as Nothing more than a false caricature and mockery towards us and our identity and the abhorrent attempts of cultural erasure towards the accomplishments of our Latino Mediterranean ancestors.

There are brown skinned people in Spain too, but the higher percentage by far have white-tanned skin.
@googisfree Right and she's 75% european ergo she is quite White. I don't understand why so many latinos deny their european roots and culture? They speak Spanish, are mostly Catholic and have european surnames and traditions.

@DonMiguel1810 I'm not bent on diminishing her Native American ancestry, the Dna test has done that. She has 13% Native heritage, so like I said, pushing 90% White makes her a White person. She is a European with minor Native American admixture, if she were mostly Native, I would say she was a Native American with minor European admixture, but that is not the truth. 13% is not large, if you remove 2 tires and a bumper off of a car, it's still a car right? There is your 13%. Lol.
Does she not know Spaniards are white? The Spanish language originated from white people. Original Latin people (romans) are white. What do they teach y’all in America ?? 😂
It is a joke! Spaniards are white. But the majority of Americans can’t and won’t except it! I grew up with a bunch of Spaniards they are Blondes, Gingers, brunettes so I do know what a Spaniard looks like. Ask and average American what a Spaniard looks like they will give you the silent treatment or say they are Mexicans or Central American.
How is she surprised? Her granddad were ethnically danish, her mothers surname was even “Jensen” (most common surname in Denmark) before she married Jessicas mexican father.
Dear Americans, The Spaniards, Greek, Germanic, Celtic or Slavic people etc. all belong to the Caucasoid race (incl. Subfamilies: Aryan, Semitic, Hamitic). And the Caucasoid race is commonly known as white. Discussion over!
I thought her mother's name was Catherine Jensen and her father had a Spanish (Mexican) surname. So she is Spanish/German (Mexican). Of course that's European ancestry. Who cares anyway, she looks absolutely stunning.
"Mediterranean" features are as native to Europe as "Nordic" features. Southern Euros are barely more mixed with anything else than non-Europeans. The most "mixed" Europeans of all are Lapps, who are N. European.
The most funny about all of this is that Alburquerue is also a municipality in Spain, in Extremadura region, whose name comes from the latin albus quercus, meaning white oak. And, of course, Alba means white XD. So here in Spain actually exists an Alburquerque since at least one thousand year ago. So yeah, Alba´s surname could in fact come from Alburquerque as he´s saying... but in Spain ;P

emmm, have you ever been to Spain? People from Spain are caucasians and mostly white skinned. I'm from spain and my skin is completely white. Many people from mediterranean european countries have olive skin because they had to adapt their skin to the sun, but even so, most of them are totally white as newborns. There aren't many brown skinned people in Spain, mostly are simply tanned. Besides, the north of Spain isn´t mediterranean. Jessica's skin is more brown because of her mestizo genes.
Jessica Alba is still mainly Latina. She is 87% LATIN EUROPEAN. Spain is a LATIN EUROPEAN country. The term 'Latin America' comes from the fact that mainly Spain and Portugal (Latin countries) colonized the continent. The Latins were a tribe from Italy and one of the early inhabitants of Rome. Their language, ethnicity and culture spread mainly through Southern Europe (Mediterranean). Therefore: Spanish, Italians, Portuguese are all LATIN PEOPLE. The French also have a big latin influence and some other Southern European/Mediterranean nations as well. Now, whether you would consider them white or not is a different story. Some people only consider white those who are of Anglo-Saxon, Germanic or Northern European genetic backgrounds. Others consider the whole of the European continent as being white (white variations). There are plenty of Spanish, Italians and Portuguese people with blue eyes and blonde hair, but there are also plenty of Spanish, Italians and Portuguese with dark eyes, dark hair and darker skin. So it's debatable. Still, they are all undeniably European, in terms of geography.
Jessica Alba is Spanish ( Latin European) from her father side also descended from ancient people of what is now America on father's side, Mother's side is English, German, French, and Danish. According to what I recall from Wikipedia.
hydrolito oh my God! She's part European and part native Indian which is a mestizo from Mexico... What makes a Mexican is half native and half Spanish blood... Learn your history people!
imemine imemine Latin is found in the English language as well 80-90% of our big words are Latin root and are the same as Spanish or any Latin based language with a slight twist at the end. But you can't expect kids educated in public schools to be taught a decent vocabulary. As far as a strictly Latin people genetically be serious. Probably 2500 years ago maybe when people were tribal. But every European country has had major conquest , migration and blending and countries as we know them today are relatively new.
rubyray777 that's so ridiculous. I'm sure Mexican don't go around taking blood sample to find if one is half Spanish half Indian. Some more this than that some pretty much all white some native American. And so forth and so on.
Alba and Albuquerque are both Spanish names. So what's your point George? You should know something before opening your mouth and making yourself look like a fool. Spanish are European.

Not really cause you're talking Islamics from North Africa and Arab countries. They got kicked out along w Jews after the Spanish Inquisition. If they didn't convert to Catholic Church.

I love when people say they are not white they are Spanish.". Oh the irony. Hahahaha
Rdfelic my favorite is when they deny their Mexican ancestry... Like it's an embarrassment to be Mexican.
no one who is actually Spanish (you know , the ones born in Spain ) says they are not white. it's usually the ones who are from South America that call themselves Spanish.
The race "Spanish" and "Latin" is a creation of americans. People from Latin America have a complex ethnicity but they never say they are "latin" or "spanish" outside USA. Im Brasilian and if u ask someone on the streets about theirs races they would probably say they are white or black or mixed-race or asian, but never "latin".

The word "Alba" means white in Latin :)
"Alb" is a common prefix for names/words meaning white throughout the European cultures, hence we get Albany, Alabaster, Albus (think Dumbledore), Albania, Albion, Albino.

she wanted to relate to the overrated, over romanticized Indigenous American side.. The whole whopping 13%.
She’s grown up and been treated like and raised as a Mexican American. She was raised in a very traditional Catholic Latin American family. So I think to find out your DNA is mostly European and not indigenous would be confusing. She may not have a great understanding of Mexican people as their DNA (unless they’re purely indigenous) is from Spain and mixed with indigenous. But even those people can be very dark skinned, like her father in the crowd.

I don't think I've ever seen full-blood Amerindian person whose features were similar to Alba's. She looks far more Southern European than Amerindian to me. I've seen French actresses who resemble her more than Amerinidans do.
Puerto Ricans are more African then a Mexican or a Spaniard
her mother is trigueña and her father is mestizo, so lopez would probably have a big chunk of dna being native
@googisfree So Jennifer is 75% white?
Lopez is probably more than 70% European, the rest maybe Taino ancestry, some say she could have subsaharan African blood but look at Alba, many thought she would have black in her too but she didn’t, zero percent, and Lopez facial features are far more defined and European/Mediterranean than her, in the South of Spain, south of Italy and Greece you could find many women with the same facial features as Jennifer Lopez, it’s just that in the US anyone with roots in Latin America is seen as non-white unless they have blonde hair and blue eyes, if the surname of Jennifer Lopez was Ruffini no one would have questioned whether or not she was a Caucasian woman.

😂😂ITALIAN IS NOT AND ETHNICITY NOR A RACE! ITALIANS ARE BOTH WHITE SUCH AS NORTHERN ITALIAN DESCENT AND RACIALLY MEDITERRANEAN COMMONLY WITH SOUTHERN ITALIAN DESCENT! AND THOSE OF MEDITERRANEAN ITALIAN DESCENT WE ARE THE REAL ETHNICALLY LATINO MEN AND WOMEN! LEARN HISTORY! “Latino”? No. Indigenous Americans and mestizo Americans etc. of south Central American and Méxican origins are Not Latino as they are Not people of Mediterranean Latin origin. Hence the term LATIN_O. Real Latino/Latin people at the prominent Mediterranean descendants of Latin Europe, specifically the Mediterranean Italian descendants. Hence how the place Latina Italy got the historical Latin name Latina. Hence how Latin Europe became Latin Europe. It makes absolutely zero sense for people who have Nothing to do with being of Actual Latin origin to call themselves the misappropriated/ linguistically mutilated Latin European term Latino. Claiming to be “Latino” has become trending propaganda to appear more desirable for social status for social advantage amongst culturally ignorant people who suffer from an apparent cultural identity crisis. “Latin” America got its name SOLELY and ONLY to mean the part of the Americas that were conquered and ruled by Latin European countries in opposition to Anglo America which was conquered and ruled by the Anglo European country. BOTH terms were only created to mean Latin European territory and Anglo Europes territory. It ends there. It makes as much sense for indigenous Americans and mestizo Americans etc. to call themselves “Latino” that it does for Filipinos and other Asians who were also conquered and ruled by Latin European countries to call themselves “Latino”. The same with the Africans who were conquered and ruled by Latin European countries and therefore named the united states of “Latin” Africa. NONE of these places are Latin countries as they are Not countries of Latin origin which is where the Latin culture natively was Present that being ITALY/ LATIN EUROPE. The people of these colonized places they are Not Latin people as they are Not the prominent descendants from the indigenous Latin tribes/ ethnicity of Italy and Roman derived Latin Europe. You can Not be part of an origin, history and ethnicity which your ancestors factually are Not historically responsible for. Without Italy there would Not be the term Latino. So to claim “Latino” when you have No true prominent cultural inheritance from the Mediterranean Latin ancestors of Italy is an abhorrent form of cultural negation, cultural erasure and cultural theft. And true ethnically Latin Mediterranean people we share much of our DNA with the Middle East, North Africa and other Mediterranean descendants such as Albania and Greece. This is Nothing new in history. Us culturally rooted True Latin descendants specifically us Mediterranean Italian descendants only use the term Latino/ Latin in reference to those of Latin European origins specifically of Mediterranean descent with typical brown Mediterranean features with typical olive Mediterranean skin types. Any one else who has absolutely Nothing to do with being Latin claiming to be “Latino” is a false caricature and mockery towards us True and Real ethnically Latino Mediterranean people. Being willingly ignorant and willingly uneducated because you have been brainwashed to believe a False bias and erroneous definition of Latino which is fueled by misappropriation and cultural erasure of Italian Latin terms, and therefore only accepting false misinformation to further validate your erroneous perspective of what being “Latino” means does Not magically erase and rewrite almost 3,000 years of actual Latin history and the sole people who are historically responsible for it. Calling yourself “Latino” when you have Nothing to do with being of actual prominent Latin descent is No different than calling yourself a unicorn, calling yourself a unicorn does Not actually make you a unicorn, and it sounds equally ridiculous, erroneous and delusional. The same with calling yourself Latino when you are Not of prominent Mediterranean Latin descent. The cultural identity crisis amongst south Central Americans and Méxicans has created a true form of psychological detachment from their cultural identity which is why they feel so valid misusing cultural terms that are a complete misrepresentation of who they are, while at the same time these people are misrepresenting the historical group of actual Latin people who belong to these Latin terms that they are in fact misappropriating. If you can Not confidently call yourself Mediterranean, then you have No cultural inheritance to call yourself The Mediterranean term Latino. Calling a person of actual Latin Mediterranean origin who is educated and rooted and has honor for their heritage and the accomplishments of their ancestors “Ignorant” is the typical American/ Anglo language mentality of gaslighting in attempts to feel that the misappropriation and cultural R@pe of Latin Italian terms is justified and valid, it is Not nor will it ever be. To claim you are “Latino” because of the similarities you have simply because of the forced influences due to colonialism is true ignorance and even more willingly stupid. And the people you mentioned with so called “Latin European” ancestry of south Central American and Méxican origins are MESTIZO AMERICANS and it ends there. Mestizo They are a completely different group of people and their own ethnic group and it is Not the same as Latino. the same way there are Filipinos who are MESTIZO ASIANS NOT LATINO. The same way there are similarities due to colonialism in the Spanish East Indies, the same influences that are in the United States of Latin Africa due to colonialism. The same reason there are similarities with all Anglo language speaking countries due to England spreading their influencess through colonialism. And yet we are Not calling the people of the Spanish East Indies the false cultural term “Latino”, Nor are we calling the people of Latin Africa “Latino”, Nor are we calling all English speakers around the world the false term “Anglo Saxon” simply because they speak the English language and have influences from their Anglo Saxon conquerors. It is common sense to know that if you were conquered and ruled by a group of people that the influences of those people will be present, that is literally how colonialism works and is the very point of colonialism. Big surprise there. And yes I will agree that there are many people whose origins come from southern Europe that immigrated to all of the Americas, and the southern Europeans of prominent Mediterranean descent they are Latin. And we have typical Mediterranean features and look like Mediterranean people. Again if you can Not confidently call yourself Mediterranean then you have No cultural right to call yourself the Mediterranean term Latino/Latin. And you are right, as people who’s ancestors are solely historically responsible for the Latin culture we decide how the Latin terms which we are solely historically responsible for are used, and we use to only for actual Latin Mediterranean people, Not for indigenous Americans who were colonized by Latin European countries. The same way the Anglo Saxon English people in England are Not going to ever call all the people of the USA despite of their origins the false term Anglo Saxons simply because they were conquered and forcefully influenced by them. And also there is absolutely zero validity in how the USA or any other country that has adopted the Anglo languages misuse of the Italian/ Latin European term Latino/Latin as it is a misappropriation, mutilation and cultural R@p3 of Latin Terms in the Anglo language! There is No validity in taking a historical Latin term which comes from Italy and trying to erase and rewrite its meaning and the history and people it has which is almost 3,000 years old from Italy/ Latin Europe. Uneducated Americans who suffer from psychological cultural detachment due to having a cultural identity crisis do NOT decide how a term is used Nor decide what a term means when they factually and historically have absolutely Nothing to do with creating that term Nor the cultural identity that is associated with that term, being Latino/Latin. And to believe you have some magical ability to erase and rewrite almost 3,000 years of Latin history and the sole people historically responsible for it is completely delusional. And these delusions have been tolerated and encouraged by culturally incompetent people such as Anglo language Speakers and other uneducated countries that have foolishly adopted the false linguistic influences of the “powerful” USA’s misnomer language and misnomer terms. To pretend that indigenous Americans, mestizo Americans, pardos, Zambos, Afros etc. of south central America and Mexico are similar to Mediterranean actual Latin people is once again a delusional attempt to feel valid within the cultural identity crisis and psychological cultural detachment that those like you suffer from. Again only uneducated people and people who have absolutely nothing to do with being Latin would only encourage and tolerate this delusional form of cultural R@p3 towards us true Latin people of Mediterranean descent of prominent Latin European origins. While educated people of actual Prominent Latin descent see it as Nothing more than a false caricature and mockery towards us and our identity and the abhorrent attempts of cultural erasure towards the accomplishments of our Latino Mediterranean ancestors.

First off, wow. she is the prettiest girl Ive ever seen. how can someone be so freakin perfect. secondly. she's dumb. spain IS considered white. the name alba is from spain, yes. but spain is european, not latin american. There are no natural mestizos in spain who haven't come there from latin america. the reason she's so freakin gorgeous is BECAUSE she has so much damn spanish blood. have you SEEN the spanish women? why do you think Latina's are so hot? the hot ones have high percentages of spanish blood. vergara, alba, mendez, longoria... they all have lots of spaniard blood. and they are all pretty. have you seen what native indians look like? go take a look on the internet at people in peru. you will see what they look like. they are not good looking people. spaniards on the other hand. my god. they are hot.
+tewkewl i don't think she's dumb, she just didn't know. it's a good thing that she was inquisitive, as that is the only way you learn. unfortunately, asking questions makes people assume that you're dumb (for whatever reason, i do not know).
Her Grandma Isabella Martinez was Native American and looks exactly like her you racist son of a bitch
Spain and France are the the whitest country in Southern Europe bruhh XD
...false, it's probably Slovenia or Croatia.
depends where
and most of france isnt southern.
@@lil_weasel219 Oh yeah you're right, it's not like France is on the Mediterranean or anything...no, France is in Scandinavia right next to Siberia, I forgot. Technically France is the most southern EU nation, as part of it is in South America and even further south of Africa / near Antarctica.
@@draum8103 Slovenia and Croatia are located in Eastern Europe not south
@@shrek19yearsago78 Slovenia and Croatia are literally on the Mediterranean ocean, it's pretty much as south as you can get without being Cyprus or Malta, aka islands in the Mediterranean. How do you people not know geography???
she looked so scared when he was reading the results LOOL
It's not anti-white, it's the fact that 75% of Americans are white, so having european ancestry is not very surprising or interesting.
Yes, but out of all those, Italians are the original Latins, and strangely most people do not consider us to be Latin at all.
Most people think Latino = Spanish only.
So like most Latino's.
OMG she doesn’t know where Spain is!!!
She's a dumb blonde...Oh ma gawd!
White is right! Stay proud Jessica✊🏻
lol she really didn't look happy when she found she was "oh my gawd"
Harder for her to be a victim now unfortunately
She can still be a victim of people stereotyping white people by saying stupid racist stuff like “oh my god”
She’s white period!
Spaniards are extremely good looking, so no Lopez and Alba do not look Spaniard
Spain is "Oh my God!". Do these people not realize Spain is a catholic country! 😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Since her father is of Mexican ancestry, he is statistically much more likely to be of Spanish descent (or even French or German or maybe Irish) than Scottish descent.
I don't think she was happy with the results
There's so much subtle racism against Europeans on his show.
Why are these people so PAINFULLY ignorant???
Reading these comments make me laugh. I can’t believe people are so pressed about someone questioning more about their dna which is not even her own fault but the education systems fault that should be teaching those things.
Spain is OMG! Because it's in Europe, east of Portugal, south of France, north of Morocco.
If she had been 87% non-European, everyone would have cheered.
Yup.
Funny how her last name is the Latin word meaning White 😂🤣😂🤣😂😂.
Alba can also be Gaelic meaning Scotland.
and yet she is still a Smokin Hot PERFECT 10 !
What does that have to do with anything? I don’t disagree that she’s beautiful but you said “and yet she’s still”…meaning what?
@@brip799 after all these years and her having three children.... she is still a PERFECT 10 ! she takes very good care of herself !
@@diverdave4056 I hope you know “she” is a guy. Said so herself on video once.
@setapartremnant Stop spamming that same comment
Spain is European. Hello!!
emmm, have you ever been to Spain? People from Spain are caucasians and mostly white skinned. I'm from spain and my skin is completely white. Many people from mediterranean european countries have olive skin because they had to adapt their skin to the sun, but even so, most of them are totally white as newborns. There aren't many brown skinned people in Spain, mostly are simply tanned. Besides, the north of Spain isn´t mediterranean. Jessica's skin is more brown because of her mestizo genes.
Alba means white
Jessica Alba is still mainly Latina. She is 87% LATIN EUROPEAN.
Spain is a LATIN EUROPEAN country. The term 'Latin America' comes from the fact that mainly Spain and Portugal (Latin countries) colonized the continent.
The Latins were a tribe from Italy and one of the early inhabitants of Rome. Their language, ethnicity and culture spread mainly through Southern Europe (Mediterranean).
Therefore: Spanish, Italians, Portuguese are all LATIN PEOPLE. The French also have a big latin influence and some other Southern European/Mediterranean nations as well.
Now, whether you would consider them white or not is a different story. Some people only consider white those who are of Anglo-Saxon, Germanic or Northern European genetic backgrounds. Others consider the whole of the European continent as being white (white variations).
There are plenty of Spanish, Italians and Portuguese people with blue eyes and blonde hair, but there are also plenty of Spanish, Italians and Portuguese with dark eyes, dark hair and darker skin.
So it's debatable. Still, they are all undeniably European, in terms of geography.
Jessica Alba is Spanish ( Latin European) from her father side also descended from ancient people of what is now America on father's side, Mother's side is English, German, French, and Danish. According to what I recall from Wikipedia.
hydrolito oh my God! She's part European and part native Indian which is a mestizo from Mexico... What makes a Mexican is half native and half Spanish blood... Learn your history people!
imemine imemine Latin is found in the English language as well 80-90% of our big words are Latin root and are the same as Spanish or any Latin based language with a slight twist at the end. But you can't expect kids educated in public schools to be taught a decent vocabulary. As far as a strictly Latin people genetically be serious. Probably 2500 years ago maybe when people were tribal. But every European country has had major conquest , migration and blending and countries as we know them today are relatively new.
rubyray777 that's so ridiculous. I'm sure Mexican don't go around taking blood sample to find if one is half Spanish half Indian. Some more this than that some pretty much all white some native American. And so forth and so on.
imemine imemine Shes 25% NONWHITE which makes her mixed race.
She looked so disappointed. Also, "Does spain count" is the whitest question ever 😂
You have that backwards.
Alba and Albuquerque are both Spanish names. So what's your point George? You should know something before opening your mouth and making yourself look like a fool. Spanish are European.
@DonMiguel1810 I happy to hear that unlike many Latin Americans, you recognize and are proud of your European Heritage. Unfortunely you have a mis guided view/ What Non-European Types are these large portions of Spain decended from??? if this were true the DNA test would indicated these /ONCE Again "Don" and these DNA test type have proven Spain have genetic markers shared by other Euro countries from countless wars. These test have also included Moors/ Berbers/Jews are Euros as well.
*Yes Spain means “Oh My God!”*
He is acting like she is not her mothers race which is bullox
Spain is in Europe.... shame on you jessica
Where'd she think Spain was located? Next to Bolivia? It's not even in the same hemisphere! If you told her that blue eyed people originated in the Iberian Peninsula, her head would probably explode.
Her father is not Spaniard, though
Jessica Alba: "Damn, I can't play any victim card here..".
The incessant need to be a victim and the entire “woke” agenda is literally destroying a century of progress and acceptance and is the antithesis of what it claims to be. The virtue signaling and the media’s ridiculous headlines are so intentionally divisive😢 it’s really sad and is destroying western civilization
Well she did a new DNA test recently which proved she indeed does have Native American ancestry on her paternal side that are Mexican as Mexicans are indigenous and she could trace her ancestry to the Maya, as well as Ashkenazi jews from Europe…
When did she do that
@Steadno Being native american is something to be proud of as well. In fact, there's nothing wrong with being any race. It just seems like the audience is prejudice in favor of blacks and hispanics only.
Yup
I think americans confuse spanish, mexican and anything latino. Spanish and mexican isnt the same thing. Being spanish and indigenous mexican doesnt make you fully spanish. I read s comment here claiming that means her dad white. What are they teaching you in the US?
Spanish people are Caucasians, they are Europeans but Spain is very close to North Africa and there might be a lot of African blood in Spain.
THE ITALIAN ARE BLACK ,DECENDING,
Not really cause you're talking Islamics from North Africa and Arab countries. They got kicked out along w Jews after the Spanish Inquisition. If they didn't convert to Catholic Church. Plus Spain has Latin roots from the Roman, Germanic roots from the Visigoths and Vandals. Celtic roots in the north of Spain. American socialist public schools teach bonehead history as if people in countries sprung up from the ground like a redwood tree and stood in the same spot. LOL
@AMD Red Team Fan ingnorant all human in planet earth ha african blood,,the humanity start in africa educated yourself
..
@blueman90 ingnorant you have the same DNA is not matter you don't live for 2 million year with the african ,,DNA NEVER DIE
@AMD Red Team Fan I'm sorry THA you not want to be black but you have black blood like or not like
She was pissed off that she was European. LOL
LOL..I remembered this video when I noticed Otto Alba died on the eastern front on April 19, 1944.
I love how no one cheers when he says '87% european'
It's not fair to watch and hear for a Spanish person, I'm south European as well... Offensive.
that was the only time they cheered….
Due to historical events 😩
@@ChrisCanomi Some people of Spanish blood in the New World don't let the Communist globalist run up on them. Thankfully they don't get suckered in to the guilt thing like too many Anglos do.
Their afraid
Honestly, this makes no sense. I don't think Americans understand ethnicity or race yet they make everything about it...
My family were poor farmers in Sicily
How was that easier?
People are just ignorant man.
Why is it considered bad to be European?
She was so pissed!!! 😂😂😂😂
@MangoMass77 I can give you some photos of people that look like that. There are Canary Islanders, Andaluces, Sicilians, Greeks, Southern Portuguese. Many, how do you not know this? Donde vives? Vives en España o Los Estados Unidos? Actually my grandfather was darker than her! Although, I am lighter, I have full lips and full facial features, and I am Canarian Spanish. So I do believe she looks southern European. She could easily pass for Sicilian.
She's definitely "oh my gaadd"
