Jessica Alba's Mexican Standoff

Posted Feb 15th 2008 11:52AM by TMZ Staff

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."

16. Mexico is a third world country with a corrupt government- what's to be proud of?

17. She shouldn't be embarrassed re: your Mexican roots - she should be THANKFUL! She has a latina's body which has made her millions! Her curves and full lips are the only things that make her attractive.

18. It's not like she has the Mexican flag on her face.

19. She should speak with a big thick mexican accent like Maria Conchita Alonso. Pinchis pollos.

21. Who cares? Shes also embraced her heritage. You paps make her out to be a sourpuss--by your own account you harassed her on the street by yelling at her- and yet you expect sweet responses? The girl clearly wants to be an actress, not a celebrity. Get over it people. Not everything you read on TMZ accounts for someones' personality.

22. Why do people like to separate others by race?

That's an old concept.

24. Doesn't she realize she gets her looks from the hispanic blood in her. She so looks hispanic. It's disappointing to hear she's embarrased of her ethnic background. What a disappointment to the Hispanic race.

28. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAYBE SHE'S JUST NOT GOING TO PLAY THE LATINA CARD? SHE'S NOT FROM MEXICO, SHE WAS RAISED SPEAKING ENGLISH, SHOULD SHE SUDDENLY TURN INTO ROSIE PEREZ JUST BECAUSE IT'S SEEN AS POLITICALLY CORRECT TO EXPLOIT ONES MOST 'ETHNIC" ROOTS???

29. Leave this girl alone. She has done nothing to warrant the hatchet-jobs you're always trying to do to her. You just come off as bitter little bullies. So, she hates your guts. Why wouldn't she? You've given her plenty of reason. Be big boys and girls and deal with it. This snarky petulance towards Jessica is getting old and tired.

30. Why is Alba such a bitch?
