Has ninja ever blatantly said he dismisses any African blood running through his veins?...all I see him is saying he doesn't want anyone labeling him black, he is Latino/Hispanic.

Why cause they are black? Equatorial Guinea and the Philippines are hispanic/latino countries. Hispanic refers to peoples that were colonized by the Spaniards. But I see countries that aren't "white enough" don't belong. You people are terrible liars.
Lmaooooooo WuT!?
You gotta be kidding me....because there aren't countries in Latin America that are predominantly black...right?.....
Belize and Haiti are perfect examples.
At this point meth already stated (and arguably reaffirmed whats been said)
And these folks just lookin to be offended.
If us reppin our latino/Hispanic heritage over w/e their gripes they have with American racial politics feels exclusionary to them..that's something they gotta deal with on their own, not throw us under da bus as collateral damage in da war vs their "white American oppressors".

I'm not hip to the thread. But that's misplaced anger. It raises the question of colorism within the black culture....and how darker skinned women feel they have less opportunities than a lighter skinned one. And Zoey anti eem that light
. The casting just seems off.I mean, if a chubby light skin dude was set to play Biggie, how would you feel?
. It's more about the casting. They're giving her a fake nose, and darkening her skin to play Nina. There were other options they could've explored. I don't know the process of the roles...Who the studios reached out too. Who turned it down, etc etc whatever....But from a strictly casting standpoint....I'm disappointed. Especially if Zoe was the first and only name for this role.

Don't call a man something he's not. It's nothing short of offensive and insulting.
We're all humans at the end of the day, the people that make the most noise about color are the ones who don't feel comfortable with their own.

So you're not American, you're not Hispanic, and you're not Pacific Islander. Correct?

Its is possible for someone to be born in another country and still be American.
Nope, American is nationality.

Latinos tend to be short based on my observations in daily life
Don't know why some black people want to label themselves as mixed latino so bad

Yo you're soooo full of **** fam
The complaints were mostly that if she had to put on a prosthetic nose and wild makeup she shouldn't be Nina.
At most some considered it "light washing"
the 2 idiots who did bring up her being latina you actually confronted for making up the fact she doesn't consider herself black
Stop misrepresenting what took place in an effort to bolster your point
Are you aware that us as humans have a primitive function to be bias towards people who look different? It's because disease wiped out whole tribes of our prehistoric ancestors,
they were discriminant of anyone who wasn't part of the tribe because they might carry disease. In order to identify diseased individuals, we began to classify one another,
based on appearance and region.

I respect your opinions...i do.
But my opinion is this. ....i don't consider ninjahood black.
His mom speaks spanish....he speaks spanish....his parents are from the Dominican republic....prolly got a buncha plantains in his crib etc.
If there were a census i would expect him to bubble in hispanic rather than African american.
Thats it.
I dont see why thats so weird.
