14 Things You Should Never Say to a Latina  Ariel Nagi  Cosmo
Latina  October 30, 2013  Not saying we aren't proud of some of
the stereotypes about how insanely sexy we are, how our families
are awesome and how we are great dancers, but guys, there's a
limit. Here's just a short list of our biggest pet peeves. And
yeah, that happened.  Are you "Spanish?"  Unless you genuinely
would like to know whether I am Spanish, like from the country
Spain, do not ask this. It's really annoying that people refer
to us as Spanish, when that is just the language we speak.  You
don't look Latina — you're so light skinned/dark skinned!  As a
half Brazilian half Middle Eastern woman, nothing pisses me off
more than when people give me the wide eyed omg-you're-so-
white-I –thought-you'd-look-like-Princess-Jasmine look. We come
in all colors, shapes — the whole nine! It's like we can be dark
or light, we must be this caramelo color. And stop, because I am
still bummed that I don't look like Princess Jasmine!  Where are
you from?
