Her father was also mentioned as rich in a lot of bio.) She was in the great area of Barranquilla. She was never a modest child. I was talking about this video : her french is not good. "je...j'ai toujours ressenti une connexion spéciale avec les gens de la France et je suis profondément reconnaissante des...de tout l'amour que je recevois de vous, merci d'être ici, je suis ravie" LMAO that's when she started learning French. She even had a teacher that she brought on tour. Who takes a teacher with them on tour to learn a new language? Well, definitely not Jlo.

Oceania Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 19 hours ago, Ricardo1993 said: Apparently I'm not latino because I wasn't born in Puerto Rico even though my ancestors come from the island. I also learned that Gaga isn't Italian either despite having roots in Italy and Sicily. I guess my best friend who is Chinese isn't really Chinese because she was born in New Jersey and doesn't speak much Chinese. "Italian" is neither a race nor a culture. It's just a nationality. A south tyrolean, an aostan, a sardinian and a sicilian have nothing in common, not even the language, but they all are 100% italian. Gaga may have italian ancestry but she's 100% american from the US. I'm a lombard italian myself and I giggle everytime I see things like Gaga's Eh, Eh's video, because they stereotype a part of Italy I'm not familiar with. Both JLo and Gaga are absolutely free to claim whatever they want tho, it's not crime lol. Certain people give these trivial things way too much importance.

Barovi Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 1 minute ago, MaRy said: she called Shakira vieja? No she was trying to complement Shakira and could only come up with “Bella”. Pretty much she said “ Shakira she is very… beautiful. And I Jlo am also very….” Then Shakira says “Beautiful too?” Then starts laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iaintsorry Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Y’all are so rude. Shak was born in a Spanish speaking country, while Jennifer was born in the states so ofc her Spanish is much better than Jen’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakira embraces her Latin heritage fully in everything she does, JLo gives me massive (I hate that I grew up being Latina I wish I was white) vibes Y'all just be saying anything. Jennifer Lopez is a woman of color, and her entire brand is around her being latina. Hell, her last name gives it away. When has she ever tried to hide that she's in fact Latina? On the other hand though, you could say Shakira is hella more white passing than JLo could ever be if we go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of us speak Spanish, in between or no Spanish at all but we are a very prideful people no matter how we grew up. shakira is the one who wants to be white not jlo who doesn’t look that different aside from blonde hair dye Shakira in that picture was just a child who spent a lot of time in the sun in a Caribbean country. The same happened when she lived in the Bahamas Shakira is kinda overreacting tho. Her spanish is not that bad and spanish is not the only language spoken in Latin American countries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are “Latin” because of the colonizers’ influence, like it or not, “Latin” culture comes from Latin Europe. The native culture is native, not Latin. It has nothing to do with race, just culture. The etymology of the word "latin" is a bit irrelevant here because the culture of any latinoamericano country is shaped by all the communities living there, regardless of where they came from. Indigenous heritage is a huge part of what makes Latin America what we know today. Your country most well-known dance was heavily influenced by poor black argentinians living in the ghetto. Is tango not a part of 'latin (american) culture' because it doesn't come from Europe? Edited August 22, 2022 by Scars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG stop it. Ask your abuela for some wisdom — or an ass whipping. "Latin American culture" inherently means and includes native + African culture also, in many of its places, including Puerto Rico. That is in fact what makes the culture distinct from Euro latin culture (in Romance-speaking places like Spain).

There are some so-called Latino gringos who make no effort at all, other than to sing a song for the Latino audience and make a profit from it because it's trending. Now, there is no excuse for JLo to learn the language well, even more so when she is rich and has all the teachers and courses at her disposal.

NausAllien Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 That was kinda shady. Besides, "Latino" is an ethnicity. Just because someone learned Spanish as a second language, it doesn't mean they aren't Latinos. I'm half Italian because my father was Italian and I was raised with Italian customs, values and traditions, but I can't speak the language fluently. As a native Spanish speaker, I think JLo's Spanish is fine. In many ways, it's better than Shakira's English so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s also a better lyricist than JLO in any language. You really tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igninton Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) I find it funny that Latinos love to criticise other Latinos who weren't born in South America but still love their culture and want to learn and speak the language. While other celebrities keep saying they're Greek, Italian, German, French and don't speak A WORD of such languages. Like, you should be ******* thankful Jennifer Lopez TRIES to speak the language and wants to preserve your culture. Any other ethnicity would. Call it ignorance, envy or whatever, but it does sound petty. A tiny bit, at least. Edited August 23, 2022 by igninton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
