Latina.com has stirred some shit up with their readers over some jokes we made recently at the expense of Latina wanabee (heh! wanabee, get it?) Beyonce. Now our inbox is crowded with gems like these:

I read your comment on the Beyonce interview with Latina. I am hurt and ashamed you are latins. That comment was unnecessary! That wasn’t even funny. Bad enough that we have prejudices with Americans and other races, but to have it within our owns - just kills me. Gloria Estefan song Todos son Latinos [that is not the name, but those are the lyrics] sums it up correctly. We should be proud as a race and not put each other down. I thought it was beautiful and classy of Beyonce to recognize our culture. What is wrong with being latin. I am sooooo proud to be Puerto Rican!!! I wouldn’t want to be any other race - outside of being Hispanic. I think Cubans, Dominican’s, Mexican’s, South American’s & Central American’s [so many nationalities in each country] are wonderful, gorgeous people. I would be just as proud if I were one of them.

Stop the negativity and start the positively! No more please. Have a heart and use your brain.

Respectfully,
