She's not mulatta.
Mulatta means biracial of black and white descent, like Halle Berry or Alicia Keys.
She looks predominantly white with native american blood.
She could possibly have some black ancestor. But definely not mulatta. -

The Tainos died out long before Eva was born. The tiny amount left intermixed. Cuba had a very large slave population. Cuba, present day, is a predominantly black/mulatto nation. She's mulatta. Do not let her straightened and colored hair and nose job fool you.

I see plenty of indication of possibly African ancestry in her features. You're just seeing what you want to see. She doesn't look predominantly white at16d0 all. Funny how this is stated about EVERY hispanic celebrity who isn't as dark as Sammy Sosa. Seriously, every single one. They all either have to be white or predominantly white. That's ridiculous. You conclude what's in someone's blood simply by looking at their skin tone. Genetics are not that "black and white", so to speak. People shouldn't comment on topics they know nothing about.

There are half white, half black people that look all white or all black. It does not negate the fact that they are mulatto/a. She is mulatta, even if she had pale white skin, blue eyes, and blonde hair.

She is not mulatta.
Alicia Keys and Halle Berry would be called mulatas if they were from Cuba.
This woman is more white than any other thing.
She could have a black ancestor, but that is not mulatta.
You obviuosly don't know anything about the meaning of mulatto in the American Continent. -

Cristina Milian is a cuban mulata. Dania Ramirez is dominican mulata.
Eva Mendes is not mulata and she would never be considered mulata in Cuba or any other country.
If you can't see the differences between a mulata and this woman you need to get Your Eyes Checked. -

I have been to Cuba several times, and this woman IS considered mulatta by many Cuban people. Cameron2000 Diaz would be considered a White Cuban. Her father was (may he rest in peace) a White Cuban.

For the last time, this woman looks mestiza. Part white, part native american. Not mulata like Cristina Milian.
She could have a black ancestor, but that is not mulata.
You, like many americans, obviously have no idea about the cuban culture and the term "mulato".
Prefieres que debatamos en espaol?
Deja ya de discutir sobre un tema sobre el que demuestras no tener la menor idea.
Eva Mendes es mestiza, no mulata. No tiene la suficiente sangre negra para ser considerada mulata.
Es bsicamente una mujer blanca con algunos rasgos mestizos, no mulata como Halle Berry o Dania Ramirez. -

I am from the Caribbean, living in Miami (one of the highest, if not the highest concentration of people of Cuban descent in the US). So you assumed and look very stupid that I know nothing. I have been to Cuba many times(as I say again) and those people do NOT think she is mestiza. She is mulatta. Again, do not let the straightened and colored hair fool you, nor the nose job.
