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.

61. What was so offensive about what she said? I swear, TMZ and Perez make it a point to over-analyze everything Beyonce says and does. If she was white, no one would have a problem, but since she's black every biased idiot reacts, with hemerroids flaring!

62. Give me a break. The woman was just trying to be gracious and complimentary. Reading her quotes, I didn't think for a second that she really meant that she would really want to give up who she is, her racial identity, etc. She was just trying to be gracious, folks!

65. Andet said: I think we should be more ashamed of the white Americans that are still asking for handouts when they've clearly been in this country for generations, instead of blaming all the ills of society on illegal immigrants.

Handouts!!! I don't know what you've been smoking but keep on doing it!

67. Beyonce was appreciating Latino culture and there is nothing wrong with this. Latino's and Blacks get along with each other fine. Nothing wrong with this. TMZ do not try to make this into a big deal. "B" you keep doing your thing you rock girl . Do not worry about the haters spewing their usual venom. They have nothing on you.

75. All this racism here is simply disgusting: not so much in B's comment, but in 7 and 9's responses. How sad that we judge a race by a few people; what about all the obese majorities?

And number 15, if you aren't being sarcastic, you make Beyonce look like Stephen Hawking.
