    Isn’t Miguel Yustman the son of Isadore and Bessie Yustman who were both Jewish?

  2. andrew says:

    I believe Justman is a Jewish surname

  3. ShawntheGod says:

    She looks like a typical Western European white girl.

    Is her dad a White Cuban like a lot of them?

    So would Odette, Cameron Diaz, Alexis Bledel, Gisele Bundchen, Ana Hickmann, Camilla Belle, Alessandra Ambrosio, Olivia Hussey, Kaya Scodelario, etc. be considered “women of color?”

    Because I don’t think they are. I know Latina is often viewed as a race, but these women are of European descent. I guess they are “women of color” in a figurative sense but not a literal one . . .

    • marjanel says:

      Really, Latins Americans are latino because their European blood , language and culture.They ar eLatin because Latin Europe.

    • marjanel says:

      Only Americans think that latino is a race and a race of color.Latino is not a race and it is a very white,European word.Thinking that latino means a race and a race of color is like thinking that Anglophone is a race and a race of color.
