My dad is Afro-Cuban and my mother is Dominican, I classify myself as a Black-Latina. Sandra, I happen to be good friends with her manager Tyron Edmond, who by the way is a very successful model of Haitian decent. I've hear tons of Kat's tracks and I must say, chick is talented. Her voice is dope. Trust me, if the industry was looking for sexy kitten Latina stereotypes without talent, she wouldn't be chosen. You seem to be implying that because she is light complexioned, she got a free pass into the industry. Not so. Her personality has carried her a long way. Her personality and approachable girl next door looks have gotten her some dope endorsements. Negrito, you are correct.

My point is: Latinos are of all races. There are black Latinos, mestizo, mulattos, white latinos..etc so there's really no such thing as Latino is a race. There are millions of black Latinos especially in Dominican Republic, Cuba Colombia and Brazil. Carlton from Fresh Prince of Bel Air (Alfonso Ribeiro) is Dominican a latino but as for race he's black. No J-LO is not a latino of african descent. My point is: Latinos are of all races.

Sandra, look at us, why are we even entertaining this subject???............BECAUSE OF YOU! Bottom line, you don't have to be light skinned to have talent!!! However if you have talent and you are light skinned chances are you will have an advantage over the opposite complexion, SO WHAT! If we can't fix the problem then we have to break through! This has been going on for ages why else would we have AKAs and DELTAs...KAPPAs and Qs Black people are not a unified RACE! If you have an opportunity to be heard I suggest you make it count, YOU face those challanges and work harder, sing better, carry yourself with class, and stay humble. It worked for Jennifer Hudson and it can work for any body else with that much DETERMINATION and HEART in their SPIRIT. WTF?

No, seriously I want to know, is she of african descent or is she just considered latino, hispanic, I mean there are statistics created based on this stuff so their must be some sort of difference in race? If thats the case hell every race is of African descent cause slaves were left in every part of the world, they escaped in every part of the world and INDIANS too, since they discovered america and all whats the difference between the indian in us and the indians who live in southeast asia. Are we one race now? what is JLo considered then?

They're black or mulattos (biracial). Unfortunately there are some black Latinos who refuse to call themselves black, instead they say "dark". You'll find some of these type of people in Dominican Republic, Cuba, Colombia, Brazil..etc You know, Latin american countries were there are many black Latinos. I don't know about Kat's racial background but Most dominicans are of african descent. I think she's half black so if that's the case then she's a mulatta. Anyway You're right Latinos usually rep for Latinos but I do think it's ridiculous that still in 2008 "Latina" is to many people a RACE. It's not...Latino is not a race. It's just a word to describe people from latin American countries. Latinos are of all races. @Sane and Clean Says

I'm tired of her making a big deal out of light/dark skinned thing, it's getting real old. I am really curious as to what Sandra looks like.
