Beyonce: "I'm Just Jealous That I Wasn't Born Latina"

BeyonceRing the alarm! Buttastic Beyonce -- who is up for "Female Artist of the Year" at the VMAs -- tells Latina Magazine, "I'm just jealous that I wasn't born Latina. I wish I had been because the culture is so beautiful." If Beyonce is going to attempt to voice an original thought, perhaps she should write it down and read it first!

Bey may have put her high-heeled foot in her mouth with this one! Somebody let this woman know that appreciating a culture is great, but actually wishing (and perhaps morphing) yourself into it is a little annoying. The sultry singer goes on to say, "
I noticed a big difference between speaking to all of the Latino stations and speaking to the pop stations or the other stations. With the Latino stations, there was so much love and everyone is so genuine." Is anyone listening out there? Hola?!

Where was Beyonce's mother, Ms. Tina, or even Jay-Z when this was going on?! From now on this girl needs a chaperone to monitor all statements! Her booty is legendary, but she shouldn't speak out of it.

168. I think most of you are being a bit harsh on Beyonce. So what she likes the Latin culture--it is a beautiful culture. Her comments in no way mean she is renouncing her black roots. I think most of you have a complex and that's why you are judging her so harshly. Beyonce is gorgeous and therefore I think you all are taking her comments too personal. I think in her own way she was trying to compliment her interviewers. Go B with yo bad self!!!

169. It is great to acknowledge the beauty other cultures… I believe this was a publicity effort, but if not she should sit down and review all of the “BLACK” people who have paved the way for her.

172. Well as a Latina, I certainly don't blame her. Our culture is that awesome BUT she should appreciate who she is before she starts pissing the Black Community off. I'm sure she didn't mean anything bad by it though. Beyonce you are welcome in our culture as long as you stop using FUR in your clothing line otherwise, step off!!!

174. (for the rest of you) If Beyonce wanted to say something nice she could have said "Oh I love your culture"..blah blah blah. The problem I have is she said she was Jealous!!!(yes a bit childish) Last time I checked Jealous/ envy was one of the 7 deadly sins. What else could she want??? Oh no!!! There is one more...Greed!!!

179. Not sure if she's just kissing up so her spanish language record will sell, but her comment was pretty belittling to her african amerian fans. I always thought she was a proud black woman...I guess I was wrong.

180. SAD SAD SAD....DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE SAYING "THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK" NOW A DAYS!!!!! BEYONCE...WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, OH WAIT...THAT'S RIGHT, YOU DIDN'T!
YOU REALLY SHOULD CONSIDER PRACTICING YOUR INTERVIEW RESPONSES BEFORE THE ACTUAL INTERVIEW.
