    She is Latina and she is Black. Why do you have a problem with that?

      If she is Latina what's wrong with her saying it? Isn't it the truth? There is nothing wrong with her being proud for being Latina. You can be black Latina.

        People hear someone say they're Latina or their nationality and think that is an automatic denial of their race. It doesn't cancel out anything.

          Actually, there are black people who think she is not "black enough" to play Nina Simone.

          Even though they are so proud of half-white Obama for being the first "black" president.
          And then they call Ben Carson a "white supremacist" even though he is biologically "blacker" than Obama.

          "To the contrary, given the possibility that Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson or one of their ilk might become president, white supremacist ideology seems to be digging in harder than ever."

            that just shows how many black people have such high double-standards, seriously

              Racially she is black(or rather mulatta in Latin American terms). Culturally she is Latina. Hence she is a black or Afro Latina. And I suppose that she could also be viewed as both an African American and Latina/Hispanic American since she's U.S. born.

                Zoe would not be mulatta, her mother is mixed (trigeuno) not white.

                  Well she's interracial. I suppose she can identify as she wants.

                      What are you talking about? My wife is a Latina is except for her hair they are almost identical. My wife has very curly hair long tight ringlets.
                      Anyhow, they isn't anything about Zoe or my wife for that matter that indicates they are black.
                      And maybe I am a bit biased but what body type is not boney it is called healthy and exactly the way it should be for that skeletal type. I think my wife has been in bed sick 1 day in the last 16 yrs. She is honestly the healthiest person I have met. They aren't boney they just aren't stuffing their faces with whatever they want.
                      You sound more than a bit jealous and you sound like one of those people that thinks your belief trumps reality. Zoe or anyone else for that matter can identify with whatever the hell they want to identify with.
                      Now go eat another box of dnuts and complian some more about something that doesn't matter.

                        Uh, the fact that her dad is black and her mom is mixed with black indicates that Zoe is black. If Zoe were to take a DNA test its going to come out mostly African.
