Dude, are you telling me? I am a New Yorker so i should know. It is not uncommon to see some 6'4 linebacker kinda brotha with a Latina. In fact, it seems more visible than even BM/WW couples.That being NY...she's prolly Latina. NY is where bruhs do very well with the chicas.
As a matter of fact, many Latinas in NY consider themselves to be exactly that: Black.
Now that is where i am going to disagree with you. Most Latinas in New York consider themselves as Latinas. The Puerto Ricans rep their "Nuyorican/Boricua" identity more than anything else; same applies to the Dominicans. Don't believe me; go somewhere like Washington Heights, Sunset Parks or South Bronx. In fact, Latinos (irrespective of nationality) detest being called black, despite their relative heavy black ancestries.

If you are referring to my fiancee, then yes. She's of Cuban and Dominican descent [mother's side] and Colombian descent [father's side].

She's doing something right and as there is such a short shelf life in Hollywood, you milk it for all its worth.

ITA...they do not like being called black especially if they look it. One told me that Bernie Williams look like a "real" black man, and I wanted to say "so do you".JD said:LaydeezmanCris said:Dude, are you telling me? I am a New Yorker so i should know.

This is true. I'm born and raised in NYC (Bronx, Manhattan and BK). True, you will see latina with BM. And from my obervations, it's much more prevalent than the BM/WW combo. But latinas in general do not like be called black. Esp, the darker ones that you would think are black (before they speak to you in spanish off course). The dominicans (both men and women) are notorious for looking black but considering themselves hispanic. Mind you, these dominican have dark skin and hair texture that is directly from the African Continent and no where else! I went to school with many girls who were darker than me (and I'm dark) who would say to my face that they were not black. The internalized racism is unbelievable!
