Jessica Alba's Mexican Standoff

Mamacita-to-be Jessica Alba was totally mum when a photog yelled at her in Spanish, asking if she was embarrassed about her Mexican roots on Thursday. No habla espanol o ingles!


After Senorita Alba, who has Mexican, French and Danish roots, made controversial statements about her Mexican ethnicity and upbringing, reports claimed she was ashamed of her Hispanic heritage.

Alba, a "third-generation American," currently graces the cover of Latina magazine -- where she addresses the "haters."

4. Oh my goodness I hate this woman. I am in NM and nobody here likes her AT ALL. Most people in Albuquerque boycotted her movie after she started talking smack about our town. Well, as it turns out the dumb Biatch didn't even know where she was. She THOUGHT she was in Albuquerque when in actuality she was in Alamagordo. I think the population there is like, one thousand. This woman needs to embrace her heritage but know that she can't just takt it back right away. She also needs a Frickin MAP

7. She wasn't born in mexico and she was brought up speaking English by English speaking parents.

the only one who falsely claimed that she was "ashamed" was that moron Perez Hilton.

9. Alba's original statements were conveniently taken out of context for story fodder by an apparently unobjective (regarding Albe, anyway) TMZ competitor with some kind of ethnical insecurity axe to grind, and he's been grinding it ever since. Alba is a decent girl who is recounting her own personal life experience, and it is what it is. She has not lived an immigrant's life, three times removed.

10. How annoying. She said she wasn't brought up in full celebration of her "hispanic roots". Why does that mean shes ashamed? At least she's honest about it.

She has not lived an immigrant's life, three times removed. She
has lived a totally American experience from A to Z, with all of
it's accompanying viewpoints, and should not be faulted for that.

15. I used to like her but it seems like she has really turned into a bitch. I guess she forgets that if it was not for her fans she would be working a Taco Bell.
