stars latino heritage

Latinos are very proud of their culture and moreover of the stars that represent them in front of the world. However, sometimes in an effort to celebrate and support their own, stars with ambiguous heritage get labeled as Latino.

So, what does it means to be a Latino? How much Latin blood you need to have running through your veins in order to be considered part of the community? Who decides who is Hispanic and who is not?

Instead of answering these questions, we preferred to ask you what your take is on this. Are these stars really Latino in your eyes? Let us know!

Mariah Carey The singer explained her heritage in detail during an interview with George Lopez.

"Here is what I am. My mother is Irish, she is like the queen of Ireland, she loves Ireland. My father is black, he grew up in Harlem as an African American man. His father's mother, my great grandmother is Venezuelan," Carey said.

"We got a little piece for us. Latinos have a little of Mariah Carey... Even if you've just sang 'La Bamba' we would still claim you," said Lopez.

Do you agree?
