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.

76. 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.

78. 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

81. Elisabeth..............Um........have you read or seen anything about Miss Britney Spears lately? I don't think she has much up on Beyonce. Britney is a real mess at this time. And she most definetly is not pretty or nice. She has some serious issues that needs to be dealt with. I'm sorry, but she is not a positive role model for anyone! Ewwwwwwwwwww!!!!

82. I like Beyonce as an artist. However, I can't stand to hear her speak as she sounds as dumb as a pile of dirt.

84. i understand that beyonce was trying to compliment latinos but to wish you were latino is going to far.beyonce should be happy she's black and accept it.she should know wishing gets you nowhere and that it takes action too.ive noticed over the years she get lighter and lighter..in ther video for beautiful liar i could barely tell her and shakira apart.im not a beyonce and never will be i kinda wish was latino so i wouldnt be have stop my daughter from watching her booty shaking videos.shes not role-model in my book.

86. I dont see anything wrong with her saying that, she has every right to say what she wants, a girl can wish, She didn't say she wasnt happy being black, she was just saying she wished its not that big of deal!

87. I'm beginning to think the people here on TMZ are disturbed and use celebrities as their scapegoats to vent (Britney Spears if of course an exception to this. Please, feel free vent your spleens). The few comments I read here and there on this website are chockfull of resentment and bitterness. Some of you go so far as to insult toddlers. A few words: get a life, stop ragging on celebrities because your lives suck and you're jealous. They're better off than you are, and nobody cares. :)

88. What if she had said she wished she was white? All hell would break loose. She would loose a lot of her Black fans for sure.

89. What ever happened to the 70's slogan "black is beautiful?"

Open mouth insert bunions.
