Selena 'It's Pretty Neat To Be Mexican'

Selena Gomez LATINA scans. 4+ Credit: flatteries @ DisneyChannel. Sel loves her Latin roots, she told the magazine [Via TigerBeat]: 'I didn't even realize what a big deal it was to be Latin at first. Then one day being with my dad, it hit me:
It's pretty neat to be Mexican. And there aren't enough Latinas in Hollywood, or there are, but they don't get the recognition. So to be able to come out here and use that, it's really a powerful thing.'
Categories: Selena Gomez

i dont get what the big deal is
she's very pretty.
8th
second??? lol shes so pretty
I am Cuban, and it rocks. :P
YAY I WAS FIRST! "i dont get what the big deal is"
she looks like she has no arms.
Post more, I am boared.
let the hate comments.. begin -__________-
pretty!
she's purdy.
THERE ARE A MILLION DUMB ASS LATINS IN HOLLYWOOD!
that bitch knows nothing.
I just bought this magazine at Target! Haha. She looks gorgeous in the pics and it's an interesting read. She says Colombia University is at the top of her college list.
MEXICAN THIS,
ITALIAN THAT.
Shut the fuck up selena no one fucking cares.
Im sick of posts like this. They're been at least 4
in the past 2 days. Come on Oceanup.
i love her style, and love her hair. love her smile
too ! (:
she is amazing,
like when i heard about the killing dog beach..
i totally wanted to go there and help out.
she definitely is an inspiration .
i just hope she doesn't change,
and if you are reading this Selena..
we love you ! <33
didnt u already post what she said
wtf, whoever took these pics should be fired. not flattering at all. she looks like an amputee.
If you're not latino then you, maybe, wouldn't see the big deal. But it is.
wow its amazing how many people hate selena and she did nothing
i love her
and u ppl are J-E-A-L-O-U-S
stop the hate :)
what's up with the country style?
THAT BITCH IS FUGLY!!!!
MILEY IS WAAAY BETTER, AND i like demi 2, but that bitch selena need 2 go!!!
I'm in love with her smile.
WHO CARES.
I'M LATINA TOO.
damn i've been dying to see these pics!! i saw them in the video on the other post and they looked fantastic! i simply adore her in the second pic, selena looks so cute!
She is S0 pretty!!
OH YEA 100% MEXICAN BITCHES
get over your fucking ethnicity bitch!
Bitch, step the fuck back. And take off the fucking caps lock.
lmfao, "latina magazine"? just curious, is there also a "famous irish-american people" magazine? or how about a "white anglo-saxon protestants r us" one?
she's milking this whole "latina" thing to no end. it's like ok selena, we get it, you're mexican. good for you.
I Know right...i was thinking the same thing!!
me too & proud.
I'm Selena, I'm proud to be Mexican, all of a sudden I'm half Italian, I love Pickles, I work on a show called WOWP, most of you know me for dating Nick Jonas and getting shunned, I'm in Puerto Rico filming a movie. DEMIDEMIDEMIDEMIDEMI.
What else is there to this girl?
A.B. Quintanilla told her if she ever needed anything she could go to him. Awwww.
no.
im not jealous.
she should know what she is talking about before she opens her mouth.
Agree Agree
THERE ARE A MILLION DUMB ASS LATINS IN HOLLYWOOD!
that bitch knows nothing.
-------------
notice she said they don't get enough recognition. which is true. and the ones that do don't even look latian. camerona diaz is highest paid actress of latina decent, and she looks fucking white. - not that there is anything wrong with it.
I am the anti-Miley! I am pure and a good role model! Perez Hilton loves me! I won the Ms. Popularity Contest!
etc, etc
but you mostly got it right
shes so pretty gourgeous!!!!!!! lol i always thought sh was white no offense to her
i love her but this was reallly pointless oceanup lol. your just gonna get the haters pissed.+plus didn't they post something like this already? no? i don't know.
SELENA IS FLIPPING AMAZING AND HATERS
CAN GO SUCKKKKK ITTT.
If she really was proud and all that about her ethnicity which she keeps mentioning why doesn't she ever do something which shows she appreciates it. At least Demi showed her hispanic roots by learning a song in spanish despite her translation. Selena isn't the only one of that ethnicity so why is she the only one who keeps mentioning it?
Anyway...
she looks gorgeous. haters need to step the fuck off. i bet your like a million times worst looking then her -/-
If you're not latino then you, maybe, wouldn't see the big deal. But it is.
---
im not latino and i still think this is a pretty big deal! im filipino so when Vanessa Hudgens represented Filipinas out there i was thrilled! i can only imagine with Selena and her latin fans. YAY for Selena :))!
yeahh.. sigh.,... :/
very pretty!
no.
She's on LATINO MAGAZINE. Of course she's gonna talk about it. Stupid cunt.
you can tell she doenst know much about her ethnicity. she should get in touch with with her culture more.
i get the feeling that she grew up around a lot of white kids. theres certain nothing wrong with that at all im just saying. im black and i didnt grow up around a lot of black kids either but i know my history and culture.
Does she speak Spanish, or at the very least trying to learn it?
THOSE PICTURES ARE GORGEOUS!

I KNOW, RIGHT?!
and there goes the miley fans again in every post i jist dont get it i mean i know you hate her but this is so unfair and stupid thats why i hate coming on this site its full of miley lovers and haters thats why oceanup doesnt have that many views cause ppl get tired of the haters its so pathetic and immature and im talking about both selena and miley fans and some of are racist too you dont see the big deal cause ur not mexican but its a big deal to us i mean my lil sis love her im glad she can have a mexican girl who is sucessful that she can look up
I won the Ms. Popularity Contest!
---
lmfao. i legit laughed when she said that. bitch, please.
No. gtfo. These recycled insults are tired.
no
she supposedly can understand some basic phrases but can't speak it at all
she's about as interesting. as a piece of cardboard.
I KNOW, RIGHT?!
---
No.
haters really have to stfu, first of all learn to back your shit up and know what your talking about cause you guys really don't make sense.
its pretty neat to have your language representing, it rally is. it's like "hey she's mexican we are too so cool" i think it is. haters will NEVER grow up, face it.
and no she doesn't know spanish. she hardly sees her father. why would her italian mother know spanish? demi knows it because her mother/family speaks it fluently. dallas does too. it's all about who you grow up with.
other than the first sentence, i just paraphrased what she said in this article. so tell her that, not me.
She can understand it, but she can't speak it fluently. Like me! Lol.
It's not HER who keeps talking about it a lot. It's Oceanup who keeps posting this article. It's not her fault either that you even comment on this post and surround yourself with Selena-related posts. It's only been posted twice so I don't know why you're even complaining so much? I'm not a fan of Selena, but it's people like you who are oblivious to see that she's not intending for it to be a repetition to you. She doesn't talk about her heritage 24/7. I love how people exaggerate everything ...
The only thing Mexican about her is her last name.
new post please
OHHH YEAAAAA LATIONSZZZ STAND THE FUCK UP
I DONT RLLY LIKE HER BUT I LIKE HOW SHE REPRESENT HER LATIN ROOTSZ THAT'S WATSZ UP HAHAHAHA
BITCHHHH U THINK LATINA MAGAZINE IS FUNNYY HAHAHHA I THINK PPLSZ WHO HATE R JUST PLAIN DUMBASSS AND NOOOO WE HAVE MANY TALENTED LATINAS IN HOLLYWOOD AND COULD SING AND ACT BETTERRR
awww , qué mono (: but she`s SO WHITE !
get over your fucking ethnicity bitch!
--------
there's absolutely nothing wrong to be proud of your ethnicity. but this particular magazine concentrates on the latin culture, of course selena is going to flaunt her mexican ethnicity for it, that's the whole point. don't hate for the sake of hating, it's extremely pathetic and immature.
no
she supposedly can understand some basic phrases but can't speak it at all
----------------------
Oh, I thought she did.
I have absolutely nothing against her, but she keeps saying it's great to be a latina and how neat it is, but she hasn't even done anything show it.
lmfao, "latina magazine"? just curious, is there also a "famous irish-american people" magazine? or how about a "white anglo-saxon protestants r us" one?
-----------
dont take this personal but why would there be. you guys already get enough recognition in this country as it is.
LOL
sigh, so many mediocre magazines with her on the cover lately. you're slipping, tim. find some juice to post. we're getting a bit bored of monotonous interviews and modeling shots.
Don't forget the Miley fued that also got her famous.
Yeah, but even then, sometimes you don't pick it up. My mother/father and family speak spanish fluently, it was their first language, but me and my 2 sisters don't speak it fluently.
i love this bitch. ;]
LOL, true
The only thing Mexican about her is her last name.
_______________
And the fact that she looks Latin.... I think she's gorgeous as hell! is this mag already out?
she so pretty
i love her hair
its so thick!
and no she doesn't know spanish. she hardly sees her father. why would her italian mother know spanish? demi knows it because her mother/family speaks it fluently. dallas does too. it's all about who you grow up with.
-------------------
I actually thought I read that her mother is Mexican, but of course it depends on who you grow up with.
notice she said they don't get enough recognition. which is true. and the ones that do don't even look latian. camerona diaz is highest paid actress of latina decent, and she looks fucking white. - not that there is anything wrong with it.
----
what are you talking about?
if they dont get the credit then they are not good.
other than white and black people, the third is latino. to say that they don't get credit, while ms.cruz and selma hayek (sp.) and the whole WOWP cast is latino is crazy. its dumb. she has no clue about other cultures. yes, europian decent is mostly dominated....but latin is very popular!
shes a bitch to say that when there are soo many people that get recgonition for their work and are latino.
Its other cultures turn to get some credit. At least Slumdog millionaire is doing that.
Her first name is also spanish.
i am cuban too! it does rock!
And the fact that she looks Latin.... I think she's gorgeous as hell! is this mag already out?
---
Yes, I bought it today!
"Oh im a selena-hater and i hate her because she got famous and stole my man. I'm so scared that she's gonna take miley's spotlight so that's why i hate her. Oh yeah, i also hate her because she's a good role model and doesn't take nasty ass pictures of herself. ZOMG she's fake too because she's just herself, hate that bitch. I also hate her because summer of '08 niley didn't happen only nelena. damn taht bitch i wanted miley and jbs but i get selena + jbs. i hate her cuase she's sucessful and im jealous"
that's what you fuckin haters sound like, now FUCK OFF!
because selena just wants to entertain people she didn't want this shit.
ofcourse she can say that but if i went on people magazine and said "it's pretty neat to be white." then everyone would FLIP out.
Sigh. It's funny yet kind of depressing to see all these ignorant comments. Haters are unfortunate...and apparently dumb.
For those of you saying this is boring, just letting ya know there are a bunch of other post on oceanup than this! there's a miley,HM, taylor momsen, JB, vanessa hudgens post all on oceanup's main page! go knock yourself out!
but apparently this isn't boring enough for you to LEAVE!
she's a good actress
Yeah, but even then, sometimes you don't pick it up. My mother/father and family speak spanish fluently, it was their first language, but me and my 2 sisters don't speak it fluently.
--------------------
It also depends if they spoke Spanish around you often enough for you to pick it up.
Like, I'm Hungarian, and my parents always speak to me in Hungarian so I don't forget.
so true damn selena get it your mexian!! stop telling us 24/7 we dont care!
idgaf
new post
FUCK OFF SELENA, YOURE NOT SPECIAL!!
The only thing Mexican about her is her last name.
========
lol saad but sooooo true
boring
She's really gorgeous. She also seems very nice and love how she is proud to be mexican. It shows that she loves her culture and is proud to be who she is.

we get it selena!!
we get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL, dude breath. You can't expect everybody to love her, Haters are everywere. Don't act like some selena fans are angels, they hate on others too. So you need to chill.
Hate is easy; Love takes courage. <3
she looks really pretty here.
she will never be as great as someone like Penelope Cruz or America Ferreira
k...
we fucking get it.
your as mexican as it gets.
and half italian suddenly?
COOOOOL.
DEMI THIS DEMI THAT MEXICAN LATINALATINALATINAitalian PICKLES OMG
I dont like selena that much at all,
but the haters on here would put me down too if i was her.
ITS NOT BECAUSE THEY HATE SELENA ITS ALREADY MILEY FANS WHO BASH HER.
DONT BLAME IT TO MILEY FANS.
CAUSE THERE ARE DEMI AND JONAS FANS WHO HATE SELENA TOO.
IM A MILEY FAN AND I DONT HATE SELENA.
SOMETIMES OTHER SELENA FANS OR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOTHING TO DO JUST POST HATE COMMENTS AS ANONYMOUS PERSON TO GET OTHER PEOPLES ATTENTION.
i've always thought this but i seriously think Selena should model. she comes out so good in her photo shoots! the third pic proves that she has model positional. she's very pretty, she's defiantly not ugly at all. anyone saying she's ugly is clearly jealous, there's no two ways about it.
she's the whitest mexican i've ever seen :p
she will never be as great as someone like Penelope Cruz or America Ferreira
-------------------------
and Selena never said that she was going to be as great as Penelope Cruz and America Ferreira. your point is??
I agree with you :]

-----potential, i meant to say model potential.
she's sooo freaking annoying. omg shut the hell up for one second. she's ALLLLWAYS talking about herself.
she thinks she's so freaking special for being mexican.
biiiig deal. not.
ofcourse she can say that but if i went on people magazine and said "it's pretty neat to be white." then everyone would FLIP out.
----------
thats because its not the same thing. when have white people ever been treated unequal or discriminated against in history. its a much bigger deal to be famous and successful in this country if your a minority because we'v had to go through rough times just to be treated the same.
new post please
-----------
hunny, that's up to you too go to the next post. i mean oceanup ain't gonna control your computer and put a new post its called use your hands so why are you saying please? are you stupid? you haters really need help, like major help im not kidding. im gonna call you some help, okay?
Id rather be black,they're cooler
i just think she is starting to get too big for her britches.(figuratively though not literally)

the person wants oceanup to post something new, she/he can't really do that OU has to
yehh im soo proud to be WHITE... if i said that in a magazine people would like kick the head off me or something.
I secretly wonder if people on here argue and/or agree with themselves under several names just because they are bored.
Ha I am black,LOL
she's sooo freaking annoying. omg shut the hell up for one second. she's ALLLLWAYS talking about herself.
she thinks she's so freaking special for being mexican.
biiiig deal. not.
--------------------------
lol damn you're dumb as hell :). she's being interviewed so she's being asked ABOUT HERSELF! what she gonna do, dodge the questions and talk about someone else?? ignorant loser, grow the fuck up.
she's so pretty, i wish i had her beauty.
selena we get it!!! we know your mexian move on jeeezzzz...woops im sorry...your too boring to talk aobut something else
Yeah, but even then, sometimes you don't pick it up. My mother/father and family speak spanish fluently, it was their first language, but me and my 2 sisters don't speak it fluently.

my friend is hungarian but she calls it hungry, do some people there call it that
yeah yeah yeah and it's also pretty neat to be black and asian and caucasian and native american..... shut up selena,I'd shun and ignore her too
I just bought this magazine at Target! Haha. She looks gorgeous in the pics and it's an interesting read. She says Colombia University is at the top of her college list.
____
i thought the magazine came out the 17th this month?
I'm black and love this bitch(:
I don't get what the big deal is about being latino...It's just a race like any other. It doesn't make you any specialer. GET OVER IT
WTF? since when does ancestry label you?!
i love being scottish and french!
fucking awesome!
i dont get what the big deal is
---------------------------------
Probably cause you not Hispanic.
you wouldn't know why it's such a big deal.
If you grew up in southern Texas and know how hard it is is to get somewhere. Then you would understand.
how the fuck is it neat to be a mexican?
she says the stupidest shit sometimes....
what are you talking about?
if they dont get the credit then they are not good.
other than white and black people, the third is latino. to say that they don't get credit, while ms.cruz and selma hayek (sp.) and the whole WOWP cast is latino is crazy. its dumb. she has no clue about other cultures. yes, europian decent is mostly dominated....but latin is very popular!

---------
no, because it's the truth. how is that being a bitch? people like britney snow, and other untenanted bitches get tons more publicity that those who are of other decent.
god miley has a fucking little cult i swear. vanessa hudgens has said quotes of the same nature and she never had any haters because of it.
MEXICAN THIS,
ITALIAN THAT.
Shut the fuck up selena no one fucking cares.
Im sick of posts like this. They're been at least 4
in the past 2 days. Come on Oceanup.
--------------------------------
then what are u looking in here?oceanup just brings up whats new.
why u even bother to comment if u dont care.
just ignore it.
ure just being stupid for writing comments like this.
I am really getting sick of her! I mean there are so many latina actresses out there who DO get recognised and are EXTEREMLY FAMOUS,like Penelope Cruz/Jessica Alba/Salma Hayek/Ava Mendez/Jennifer Lopez (just to name a few). And i mean shes only a Disney teen, so why should people care if shes latina, we already know that. Im fully Irish and there are very few famous Irish actors/actresses out there but you ever hear Collin Farrel/Jonathan Rhys Myers/Liam Neeson complaining about the lack of irish actors or how "neat" it is to be Irish, and believe me, these guys are much more talented than Selena Gomez. I get being proud of your heritage, but dont complain or whine.
I think its neat to be whatever you are. Whether it means your mexican, caucasion, native american, chinese, irish, italian, french, etc. we should all be proud of where we come from. I don't understand why people are getting mad at her for being proud of where she comes from.
I LOVE those cowboy boots. They are soo cute!
Everyone who is hatin on Selena can go to hell....
If yyourr soo sick and tierd off reading about her then dont go to oceanup...did you ever think of tht?? (retards who hate Selena) Well anywayss:
TEAM DEMI AND SELENA!!!
whoa.I seriously want that white blouse and her cowboy boots. I love them.
finally the BITCH acknowledges that shes mexican i mean its so fucking obvious! she couldnt hide it id she fucking tried!!! i mean GOMEZ..hahahhahaha.. cmon shes obviosly mexian! ughh soo UGLY!
miley miley miley miley!!!!
what's up with the country style?
-------------------------------------
It's cause she is from Texas so they put her in cowboy boots.
I'm from Texas too.
And I don't wear cowboy boots,I also don't live on a
ranch or have a pet cow or something.I don't say Y'all
either.
It's just a stereotype
she looks hideous in the second pic (and what is up with that outfit??)
and in one of the top little things on one of the pages it says
"unlike miley cyrus selena doesn't come off as an annoying brat"
um miley has given almost 3 million to charity (and has her own charity), has an inspirational song that reached number two on iTunes, has made tons of videos thanking her fans, always is sweet to paparazzi (where selena acts to good for them), never complains unless asked about haters where selena does complain, and miley goes around with no make-up and selena never does.
i'd say nice try pereez, but i'd be lying
are you kidding me!!!
theres like 100,000,000 mexicans in the usa.
its ridiculous.
way too many.
i believe salma hayek is half lebanese, half latina
are you kidding me!!!
theres like 100,000,000 mexicans in the usa.
its ridiculous.
way too many.
----------------
lolz but she meant like actually in hollywood not much.
She's a latina beauty.
Miley Cyrus's aim is juic3yxpressmc
There's no reason to be polite to papparazzi. She doesn't curse them out. She's barely chased by them at all. Please don't bring Miley vs. Selena into EVERY miley or selena post. They are friends, have mutual bff's (demi) and have gotten over it. So should everyone else!!!
what are you talking about?

---------------------------
not everyone is a miley fans bashing her eventhough selena fans are the worst basher on miley post and there is one in particular that is quiet crazy that keep on saying that her mother hate's her birth and she a selena fans and she constantly put bad stuff on miley post and she is one of your girl darling! also there is jonas fans bashing her so dont generalized and some of demi fans as well which i dont understand why but whatever they dont like her. but miley fans has a reason not to like her and she stared it she obcessed with miley she even put a blond wig how scary is that is like those movie that they do everything the other does because the want to be that person and selena acts like she wants to be miley is super scary. she is scaring the the hell out of me already!
homo
selena sux
Selena, you may have the roots, but honey you're white as can be :)
