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.

65. Shallow people feel a need to separate people by labeling them and placing those thoughts in a little box in their mind, where all people of that race or group are exactly the same. That way they never have to inquire any further into who someone is as an individual, because they are only interested in looking at the surface of stereotypes.

67. Why's everyone talking about J-Lo...this is about Beyonce..

Too bad Al Sharpton made such a big friggin deal about TMZ calling her a "roboho" cuz she's a black woman..
Guess she doesn't wanna be black, Al!

You know she'll issue a statement like, "I am proud to be a black woman!" LOL

As for the person talking about Latinos offering a seat on the bus while white or black men wouldn't...that's only cuz they're not on it, they have cars! Lol jk

This is the most ridiculous discussion yet. Beyonce is simply being gracious and trying to broaden her appeal. She's a BUSINESS WOMAN. More fans = more $$$

Most of you have absolutely NO BUSINESS SENSE! Do your thing Beyonce, and keep laughing all the way to the BANK!
