Zoe Saldana Tackles Afro-Latina Race Politics
Afro-Latina actress Zoe Saldana graces the cover of Mujer magazine. In the issue on the inside, Zoe Saldana covers everything from how she obtained success to how people treat her differently because of her race. Of course, we find the race politics very interesting, here's what she said:
“I’m just Zoe. Not a little bit Dominican, not a little bit Puerto Rican, none of that silliness…I am what you want me to be if that’s what it takes for you to overcome your insecurities. As a Latina, I think we should be very proud of our heritage. We tend to look for European roots and reject the indigenous and the African, and that is disgusting. Being Latin is a mix of everything. I want my people to not be as insecure, and to adore what we are because it’s beautiful.”
What's the problem with Latinos being considered a different race anyway? Africans were shipped there and mixed with Europeans and Native Americans just like they did in the US. So, Zoe Saldana's ancestors' slave masters spoke Spanish instead of English - the history is pretty much the same from there.
