I’ve always wondered if she was partially indigenous.http://img.perezhilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/sofia-vergara-no-makeup__oPt.jpg
Most people in Colombia are mestizo , so most likely somewhere down the line yes she has some indigenous blood. At LOL are you fucking stupid? Being latina is being of latin orgin which is WHITE stuid ass.even the language we speak is from a white man. Majority of us race wise are mestizos (indigenous/spanish)some of african decent and some pure white or arabic. Read up honey you sound stupid as fuck
. So do all you other idiots saying her ethnicity is Colombian.im Colombian and i dont look at my forms that i feel out looking for ” colombian” under “race”section.people are in such fucking denial i swear.hahahahaha
*fill
And phillygurl you sound like a fat hater.shut up.ive also seen fat bitches in new York with fucked up faces whats your point?
20% of Colombians are pure white (from spanish and other europeans),58% mestizo (indigenous/white),14% mulatto (black/white),3% zambo (indigenous/black),4% pure black and 1% pure indegenous ,most American ignore that!
Mamia 23, she is overrated. She has that white girl body with slight curves. I have seen latinas in nyc FAR more curvier than her. She is just curvier that most white girls that is why white people are obsessed with her.
phillygurl i’d still have sex with her!!
Damn HATER
What!?! This women has a beautiful curvy body. So what if there are girls in N.Y.C with curvier bodies that’s them not her…she is famous! BTW everyone is obsessed with her she is an exotic Latina with a cute accent and a nice body! Duh!
No, white people are obsessed with her because she looks white. Sure she probably has some other race mixed in her blood somewhere down the line. But she has white skin and NATURALLY Blonde hair. That’s being white whether you want to admit it or not. If she should be considered “any race” it should be white, not “hispanic” just because she has a little of that. I mean her dominant features are white including HER SKIN for christs sakes. She is a latina, not doubt about that. Because she was born and raised in a LATIN culture. It is a culture after all. : D Why do you think most people consider Obama black even though he is mixed? Explain that one? I will help you out, because he looks black and has black skin. : D Fun fact. Yes, you can call her “mixed” if you want to be as accurate as possible. But she is mixed in the same way Obama is mixed. It doesn’t take away from the fact that she has white skin and naturally blonde hair. : D
You’re right her race shouldn’t be considered hispanic since hispanic is NOT a race, moron
Who’s the IDIOT that made this page? COLUMBIAN? REALLY?
it’s COLOMBIA and it should say Race: White Ethnicity: Colombiam
Colombian*
LMAO! You know you just contradicted yourself!
lmao right back at u man. how exactly is she contradicting herself ??? are u aware that colombia is only a country nothing more nothing less. and colombian would be only a nationality nothing more. where do u think most of the latinos came from ? come magical land called latinia ? they came from europe ofc. some of them did mixed with natives but some didnt. so that makes them white same as US whites rly. the only ppl that lived there in pre columbian era were native americans. does she look mayan to u ???
Wow. For someone who thinks we should get pass race, you sure as hell are quick to point out that a latina is white, when you see them. She does not consider herself white lol and like other latinas in hollywood, she has had more black men run up in her than Kim Kardashian. So it is not always about race to all latinos.
phillygurl,what black men has she been with?
Tyrese, Craig David, John Singleton. The media will only tell you about the Tom Cruises and Nick Loebs that she dates.
yeah but you have the inside scoop
It is well know that she dated Tyrese and Craig David and John Singleton (set of Four Brothers). Just google it. I found this out because I am obsessed with Tyrese and I saw info on their albeit brief relationship.
Once again..i must point out how fugly and miserable you are, why do you give a fuck about who she dates? The difference between you and her is that she dosent even know you exist yet you still cut her down to make your lard ass feel better haha you gotta be the most miserable cow to graze your fields.
OMG! SMMFH! Wow read books people not the internet! A Latina is not white! Latina has to do with all types of cultures that are similar due to history and the language spoken in the country, Spanish being one. She is Hispanic and we are all different shapes and colors. JLO has dark hair but dyed it lighter…why for a part or because she just wanted to do it. Sofia is a humble person that’s what matters. Its funny because if your love life was open to the public I’m sure we would know all the people that ran up in you to! Shhhh for all we know you could have way more people than her. You could respond and lie about it of course beacuase a hoe would never admit to being one. Oh and by the way the media (if you know any better) lies to. If your caught eating dinner with a friend they assume your messing with each other so quit reading that media gossip sh** and pick up a mf book!
P.S Don’t be jelouse because she had Tyrese and you didn’t!
rly roflmao here. latino is a european culture same as anglo or slavic or nordic or germanic. latino only means latin in spanish. it has nothing to do with latin america. first latins that originated and spread their culture were romans. so if it werent for them we wouldnt have this name for latin america today. plain and simple. no one says that only whites can claim that title. but same as black US americans are part of anglo culture and have english names doesnt make them english theyre still considered of african descent. saying u are latino and huspanic and being 100% black is a bit out of reach.
Latin is neither white, brown, or black dumbass. It’s a culture not a race. Hispanic, Caucasian, Asian, Black, etc… are races. Yes she is a WHITE latin girl. Fun fact. Why? She has white skin, and her hair is naturally blonde with the white skin to top it off. She looks very white. A hot white girl no doubt about that, they are a minority just like every race hot girls are a minority. And yes she is mixed but her features tend to be more white like her SKIN for example. Obama’s black because he has black skin, although TECHNICALLY he is considered mixed when it comes to his “race.” : D But he looks black. Just like Sophia looks white.
Latinos can be white ! Latino isn’t a race, stupid
“columbian” is wrong. “colombian” is the correct denonym
I agree that she’s slightly overrated, but she is pretty.
