"I'm just jealous that I wasn't born Latina. I wish I had been because the culture is so beautiful. I'm very grateful Latinos are embracing me."

Another thing you do not have to be jealous of Latinos because if you were to check their history you will find that, unless their from Spain (true Caucasians), they are Black. Yes, history tells us that the only true Caucasians, which speak Latin dialect come from Spain all others (pr’s, Cubans etc.) have Africans in them. Listen to the music especially the drums that is all from AFRICA. South Americans their religion, I forget the name of it but they worship voodoo, that is from AFRICA. So my point is your being jealous of Latinos is crazy because they are just as much AFRICAN as you are and perhaps more then you since your mixed with AFRICAN and CAUCASIAN. Why don't you just love yourself both the Black side and the white? Moreover, since what people see when they look at you a Black woman be proud of being a Beautiful Black Woman, learn to love yourself

If she wishes she were Latina who cares because at the end of the day, she can't be.
