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.

181. Everyone should have the right to speak their minds and this includes celebs and Beyonce Knoweles.

Unfortunately, most celebs don't realize that as a celeb, speaking your mind can be dangerous sometimes because you could offend some of your fans and that can take a bite out of the sales of your products.

Apparently Beyonce does not know this or have not learned this lesson.

It is not offensive to wish to be Latina.

(Latina people are beautiful people and by the way, I get along with them than anyone else)

But publicly expressing this wish by a celeb may not be a good idea because it can offend the non-Latina fans!

I am sure Beyonce would NOT wish that only Latinas should buy her music?

I don't even know whether latinas are her fans and if they buy her music?

I don't even know what she is: African American, latina, caucasian, cuban, Indian, UFO?

But whatever she is, I am sure her fans would continue to like her and that includes me.

She is a billion dollar babe.

188. This is just pathetic. Anyone who ever says that they wish they were something or someone else is displeasing to GOD in my eyes. Be happy with who you are and what you have and show it forth. It is one thing to show an appreciation and a certain level of respect for another culture but to wish that you were apart of it is a disrespect to your own. This has made me take a second look at her as someone that lacks self respect for what she actually is... a beautiful young woman with a chance and opportunity to deliver positive vibes irregardless of race.

190. This is exactly what happens when MOMMA & POPPA KNOWLES, or JAY Z isn't around BEYONCE to give her a signal to shut up.

If anything she should openly embrace her own culture & race (even to LATIN magazines), & mention that she admires the Latin culture second. Why on earth would you "wish" to have been born another race & culture...& "out loud". To "think it" is one thing, to "speak it" out during an interview is just plain naive & dumb.
