Bardem and Cruz are Spaniards! If they were latinos, would you have to count every Spanish and Portuguese speakers around the world, then?
Oh, and all the Italian-speakers too, since "Espresso" is Italian (well, pretty much all the words refering to coffee, anyway)
Let's add the French and the Romanians, and the big latin family would be reunited…
Check your facts!

I'm proud to be part of this amazing community. "Viva la raza" And I have to say that is not only the food or the music it's our personalities, our customs what made us very specials. We're warm and friendly people.

One more thing. For those who think that people from Spain are not Latinos. WRONG!!! The speak Spanish, Spanish language come from Latin language so they are Latinos like us and also they gave us a part of their culture, all that we're right now is a mix from different countries and ethnicities Spain, Indians, African, even Chinese.

We just arrived…….. isn't that funny. I watched that farce today on TODAY. Just like all of a sudden you see more African Americans on TV commercials since we now have an AA President. Gimme a break. I am Blatino and I am PISSED!

This was very nice to see.

And to I am "awesome" 101:

About Penelope Cruz being Spaniard… um I suggest that before you talk bullsh*t, by putting the whole Hispanic community on the hands of that woman you educate yourself on all of the great Latino stars in the Hispanic community.

in other words smd.

I have to agree with caroaber. There is a significant absence of black latino and indigenous representation in the media and popular culture. Ever watch telemundo?….I've seen more people on that network who look like they're German rather than Latino. There's nothing wrong with embracing the European in Latinos but lets not forget the DEEP African and indigenous roots many Latinos have(whether they look it or not!). Before the Europeans invaded and stole the Americas, the indigenous were there first. When the Europeans came, they brought millions and millions of African slaves to north, CENTRAL and SOUTH America!

Re: PerezHilton – you dont have to ACT or speak a certain way to be proud of being hispanic. i hate when people say "act black/spanish/white/etc."
but i do agree with your comment on him wanting to belong to a group.
