Saldana is black . She has said in interviews that she is black. Her ethnicity is Latina . So you can be of any 'race' and be Latina. I can't believe that people still do no know the difference between race and ethnicity.

Nina Simone got grief because she didn't look like Zoe Saldana. Now Zoe is playing her in a film. Now that's irony.

If you are getting paid to be someone's friend then you are an employee. If you don't like your job then find another one and in the meantime develop strategies to cope.

Whoa! What the hell is going on?! The news is blowing up all over social media. I'm still in shock. We need sound!

I agree . It's perfect for the occasion.

Lupita was the worst dressed for me. Her outfit was all kinds of wrong. The headband and the brown sack underneath the beaded fish netting just didn't work at all. I don't know what she was thinking. However, you can tell by looking at the photos that she felt wonderful in it and looked happy. So good for her. Lupita…

Yup he was a cunt alright. Big up Dalston.

You are right. There are similarities with the US. The mantra that they are over here taking our jobs but the jobs they are employed to do no one wants. With the UK it's a bit different as EU migrants are entitled to live and work in the Uk.

Lol. Funny you said that because one of my mum's neighbours was exposed to be on the BNP's mailing list which had been leaked. I don't know if you recall that scandal but it was a big story a few years back. They lived two doors away. Seriously. I was pissed. The Ukip thing is depressing but I should't be surprised.

Yeah. They did stay mutual friends. No they didn't tell him to fuck off. This was back in the early nineties when I was a teen. My family were the only black family in this northern town in the UK. I wasn't racially clued up back then nor did I have the confidence to speak up. If that happened now I would handle it…

Thanks.That was a long time ago when I was young. I know better now.

Yup. I dated a white guy years ago and when we split up he called me the n-word to mutual friends.

Agreed. It should be the Clippers Board and the NBA who should make a stand. The players are employees with contracts and am sure they just can't walk out in protest because their boss is a bigot.

Congratulations to Lupita but I'm tired of her. As others have mentioned People's Most Beautiful title is very PR driven. Why else would Gwyneth Paltrow have been named People's most beautiful last year? There is a lot that goes into these meaningless titles than you think. Anyway good luck to here she's making hay…

True. However people do use them to lighten their skin because they want to be less dark. Deencia's cream does the same as the Lancome product and other skin brightening/lightening creams. The girl has a point.

Do you know her personally? Sorry I'm being facetious. Victoria has not always been a fashionista you just have to look at her time in the Spice Girls and when she's was queen of the Wags. No way would Ann want someone like that on the cover. However,Kim seems to be an exception.

No. However, Victoria has let it be known that she would love to be on the cover of US Vogue but Ann doesn't like her. I've heard that David has been offered the cover on a few occasions but has turned it down because of Victoria.

Agreed. Kim does have white passing privilege. There is no way she would be this rich, famous and successful if she did not have privilege based on how she's is perceived by the dominant group - whites. It's whites who decide who is white not the subordinate groups. And white passing privilege is fluid. Also if your…

Kim has white passing privilege though.

Kim's ancestry on her father's side is Caucasian because her father is from Armenian which is in the Caucasus. However, not all people from the Caucasus would be coded white. I think the Boston bombers roots were from the Caucasus and I remember the debate around them being white or not. Some people of colour can have…
