Name: Lyndsy Marie Fonseca
Birth Place: Oakland, California
Birth Date: January 7, 1987
Ethnicity: Portuguse and German
The American actress was born to Jim Fonseca and Lima Bergmann. When describing her curves she said in an interview:
I’m half Portugese, so I’m built more like a Latina girl. I don’t think I’m fat. It’s hard to be around sometimes girls that are so thin but you just gotta own what you’ve got.

She was in Kick-Ass. I love that movie.
Ethnic, may you do a page on Aaron Johnson? He was the lead actor in Kick-Ass. He played Kick-Ass, and he’s married with child.

She’s not trying to say she’s latina. She is just comparing her body to that of a latina woman.

Does she need to? I was unaware that all Southern Europeans had to be swarthy. Meanwhile, many Northern Europeans are part Mongoloid and have the most notable non-European ancestry. But I guess you feel superior because your skin is the color of snow and your hair is as white as paper?

Someone might want to also inform Lyndsy that the Portuguese are not Latin American. She has nothing in common with Eva Longoria or Jennifer Lopez, and while Portuguese is spoken in Brazil, it has a myriad of races and ethnicity .

And someone should inform you that the word Latino/a is derived from Latin the ancient language that is the root of the Romance Language group (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, etc…) and all people that speak it or has a cultural similarity with Latin culture then they are Latino.

so french and italian people are considered latinos? dude, i know that you americans list everything is mediterranean or from south the border as ‘latino’ but it isn’t right for europeans. one thing is sure and you pointed it out too: french, spanish, portuguese, italian and romanian are neo-latin languages since they took origin from the ancient latin. but here in europe ‘latino’ is referred to people that have anchestry in latin america that means from mexico to go. if you want to list southern italian, spanish and southern french people as something then you can list them as mediterraneans if you want to be correct. these cultures are not the same as the latin american ones and they’re not even the same between them. but please, don’t label people.

Maybe she is unaware that the Portuguese are European?
Technically, they are Latin because their language is a Latin-based language. However, Lyndsy seems to think they are comparable to the likes of Eva Longoria or Jennifer Lopez . . . which is not the case. She also seems to think it is a race. /:
How can one be so ignorant about their own heritage?

How come there are not many Americans of Portuguese descent? The only other actor I can think of who shares a common background with her is Tom Hanks, who has a Portuguese mother.
