Do you consider Christina Aguelira to be white?

[Amber]

I need to know for my piece that will likely be up tomorrow.  I might have spelled her name wrong here, it doesn't matter right now.  

Thanks for voting!!!

Well, she certainly looks white, because her mother is white.  However, from what I've seen, she identifies as latina, at least for marketing purposes anway.  She also swears off white boys for latinos and brothers.  They can have her.
Oh, well.  The real tragedy is her behavior.  It's a damn shame.  She's got one of the most incredible voices I ever heard and yet she still feels the need to portray herself as a whore-thinking that that's what she needs to do to sell records.  If you do write about her- her name is spelled- "Christina Aguilera".

Good luck.

She needs to ride the rides at Teddyland, then she'll be just fine.

She said once that she'd rather flirt with women because men are fumbling idiots when it comes to that no matter how suave they are.

The point is that you can't really parse "Latina" from "White," because Latinos can be any race.  So I say she can be both, but I picked Latina because it's how she identifies.

Liberals like to blanket off "Latinos" as one universal oppressed group, but the truth is that within the Latino population, there is actually racial oppression of one another (Much more than we do to them as a group).  For example, telling a Mexican person that they "look Native American" is an insult as grave as "Up yours."  (I learned that from a Mexican person, who said that you must tell them they look European; anything else is viewed as inferior).  That's Latino on Latino racism.  It's interesting to see.

Blatant misandry.  Now why doesn't that surprise me.  She needs to get over herself.  And I'll tell you what, men are no worse off without her.

As time goes by and the tide turns to the point where men are being honored again you'll find that the media whores will start performing "we love men" stuff. They're just capitalizing on the current "boys are stupid" craze. They're kind of like politicians that way I guess.

As CR said, Hispanics can be of all races, so there is no "typical" look for a Hispanic.  As someone who is half Hispanic herself, I will tell others that I am Hispanic, mainly because that is the side of the family I identify with, and because that is the environment I was raised in.  Hispanic families are a lot closer than most white families I know.  However, if pressed for specifics, I will tell them of my mixed heritage.  It's not from being ashamed of being mixed heritage --I had no say in the matter, so why should I feel bad about it?-- rather, I just don't feel like explaining to everyone I meet about my racial background.

If CA wants to call herself Latina, fine.

My way of thinking is that there are three major race classifications in the world, European, African and Asian.

Latinas with predominantly Spanish blood are European and therefore white.  Many people in Mexico, for example, mixed with the native Americans - so you could possibly say that they are of mixed Caucasian/Asian ancestry (if you consider that native Americans are most probably descended from Asian people who came over the Bering Strait in relatively recent history).

In short, among white, black or Asian, I would classify her as white.

[Galt]

"Latina" is more of an ethnic/cultural description anyway.  Spanish-speaking.  I don't think "white" and "Latina" conflict with each other.  You could be a black Latina or (rarely) even an "Asian Latina", I guess, although I've never really heard of that.

Christine Aguilara is a spanish-america indian mix and to me she looks as such. Im curious as to why you would ask this question? I reject the current federal race classification system as its contemporarily used.

Because in an article I have coming up I make reference to her being white.  Remember my article on it?  I draw a difference between black music, saying they promot gender healing, and white music, whic is promoting gender warfare.  Christina's music is dead set on gender warfare, she is feminists' divisive ideology most outspoken musician.  I was told by the person who edits my work that she is not technically white.  So I wanted to know if I could get away with putting her in the white category.

Yeah, what he said.

I'd be interested in hearing the logic behind your assertion that "black music" promotes gender healing any more than "white music".  IMO, they both have abysmal track records.  
I don't know what your friend means by "technically white".  Her mom's white, so she's at least half white.

This is how one guy suggested I refer to her:

"... americanized latina identity woman with white feminist,
bi-sexual patterns of socio-political expression ... "
