The problem is thinking Hispanic/latin is a race, that people who speak spanish are all brown and indian looking. Hispanic is a cultural/language thing, it means anything "related to Spain". Same meaning as "Anglo" for the anglo world. Her father is not Danish, he's Argentine of Danish descent. Would you say all Danish descent americans are not americans but Danish ? no, but deep inside you probably think black americans are actually africans and not real americans. right ?
Either way, her father is still white. By the way, if her father was of Japanese descent, but born and raised in Argentina, would you call him Hispanic? Something tells me no, you would not.
Im from argentina, and most of people in here are white because lots of inmigrants mainly from Italy and spain came to our country during the second war world
i read that her mother was born in Arizona to mexican parents then traveled down to mexico where she grew up and her dad is argentino so i shes proud of her roots let her be
Thanks for posting. Love Alexis Bledel! She is so incredible, beautiful and talented!!! Great interview! Love and Miss Gilmore Girls so so much!!! =)=)=)
my sister has milky white skin and nobody ever thinks shes mexican, people talk shitt about mexicans all the time around us thinking we aren't mexican... but uhhh we are mexican those people are just plain dumb to think we can't be diversed in looks.
I'm brown skinned. I'm native american (taino), spanish (caucasian) and (ghanaian) african, so I'm tri-racial. I was born in Dominican Republic and my friends can't understand that Hispanic is mixed. That it is not a race, but solely an ethnicity. Like being Arab, arabs are caucasian, but they have their own "ethnicity".
Hispanics do come in very different colors! I am Latina and I have blond hair, and blue eyes, plus pale skin, on the other hand my sister has green eyes and black hair, so yeah we do come in different colors.
According to her and wikipedia... Her mother was brought out to Mexico, not mexican!...Read more: Bledel was born Kimberly Alexis Bledel in Houston, Texas, the daughter of Nanette (née Dozier), who worked as a gift processor and flight attendant, and Martin Bledel.[1][2] She has a younger brother, Eric.[3] Her father was born and raised in Argentina.
Lol in every video, all everyone ever comments about is her ethnicity. Who the hell cares what race she is? She's gorgeous and a good actress and that's what matters.
Her paternal grandfather, Enrique Einar Bledel Huus, was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to parents who were of Danish descent; Enrique was Vice President of Coca-Cola Latin America and the Coca-Cola Inter-American Corporation. Alexis Bledel's paternal grandmother, Jean (Campbell), was originally from New York.[6][7][8] Alexis' mother, Nanette, was born in Phoenix, Arizona, and had moved to Guadalajara, Mexico, at the age of eight; Nanette was raised there, and in Mexico City.
her mum was brought out in Mexico but isnt mexican , their parents arent mexican either , but his father was from Argentina also their parents were Argentinian
That's not true. It may be right that about 97% of Argentine people have European blood, but the percentaje of white people is quite below that number because of mixture. I'm from Argentina, and racial/ethnicity issues don't concern to papulation census, but for what I see, people here is like 70-75% white. In Mexico there was more mixing, I've heard that less than 17% of Mexicans are white. However, you're right by saying Hispanic heritage is cultural. Greetings.
she seems a little calm and relaxed in this interview which is good and all but I kinda found it attractive when she was a bit shy, Idk maybe some ppl did too or maybe it's just me but I found her very attracting in Traverling Pants 2 cuz she was so shy
@r2ramone Amo Brasil y se que hay un monton de gente hermosa de todos los colores aunque eso no es lo importante si no los valores. Yo estuve en Brasil en dos oportunidades y la gente es maravillosa :) volvería mil veces. Saludos hermano brasilero.
I'm Argentinian and I have a white skin, and in Latin America a lot of people have white skin but the United States doesn't know nothing about that because they live in their own bubble. The mostly, So sad.
Japanese Americans, Asians Brits, and others have the exact same experience! It's mildly annoying at times, that people with phds can be so ignorant, but hey what can ya do?
BTW Latin = Latium : region in Italy where the original roman peoples came from. 2. ancient language spoken by this people 3. Anything related to the romance languages countries which were part of the ancient roman empire. Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Romania plus other countries in the world where those languages are spoken. Including a region of switzerland where they speak Romansche. Petty much nothing to do with your understanding of latin as a race of brown spanish speaking people.
Jessica Coch es mitad Mexicana y mitad argentina. Solo busquen en google para que vean que ella esta más blanca que Alexis Bledel. Jessica es un ejemplo. Jessica Coch is another example of being half Mexican and half argentinian. Just go to google ans search her name and there you will find that she's whiter than her. ANOTHER THING is that Northern Mexicans, Tapatíos Mexicans, Alteños Mexicans have more white people. go to this blog: iheartmexicangirls.tumblr.com and you will find mexican girls
Well, the convention of growing up in a Spanish-speaking environment makes you Hispanic, I guess, even though she grew up in Houston and her father is Danish and her mother is German/French. It's really ridiculous to call her Hispanic, but since that's the languages her parents speak, it's the convention.
@@Crusader1815 Her father was born in Argentina and she identifies as hispanic. I don't see the problem with that. She is hispanic after all, she is not saying she is a mouse....
97% of Argentinean people are of exclusively white descent, as are 60% of Mexicans. Most people of Hispanic descent came from Spain where people are by and large naturally dark-featured and tan. I don't see your point. Hispanic heritage is cultural, not racial, just like being Irish or Polish is cultural not racial.
Right, Hispanic/Latin is like saying you are "American" (but in a slightly different way) cuz you can be born in Europe (Spain) or the Americas (USA, or Latin America of elsewhere) but if you have a parent of (Spanish speaking decent) you are part of the club (or yourself), hence Cameron "Diaz" Christina "Aguilera" Zoe "Saldaña" get a life people why must this even be explained or clarified, "stereotype!"
Americans usually think that Spanish speaking people = Brown Skin. And that Latin America = Brown people. I know, sad right? What most Americans dont know is that Latin America is very diverse and that there are all types of people living in it, from Asian, to African, Arab, Europeans and more. Here are the Latin countries with the largest populations of Whites; Brazii; around 105 Million Argentina; around 35 Million Mexico; around 20 Million Percentage wise; Uruguay Argentina Brazil
lol.. the origin od the american people was european. puritans, english , dutchs, german, italia, african etc... the same thing in argentina. spanish, italians , frenchs, germans and jews the < %
Yeap.. When I was a child my grandmother would always say.. "If you want to create a racist words war between Argentine and Mexicans, upload an Alexis Bledel video on youtube.."

She was raised in the USA but she’s LATINA! If she was tan people wouldn’t have a problem with her latina heritage
I'm more and more impressed by this woman, clever charming...
She's so adorable!
Great Interview! I just love Alexis! She is an incredibly talented actress....and so beautiful! Thanks for posting.
She giggles soo sweet 2:56
Wow! She's a sweetheart

Ceci PENNY I am from Argentina and I am as white as snow
Ella tiene madre mexicana y padre argentino
@@eldiceverdades8109 la madre no es mexicana, nació en EEUU, pero creció en Guadalajara, México
why is it so surprising to be a white latin person???
We have whites in every country....
especially argentina....uruguay...etc....
Exactly my thoughts. I'm white and I'm from Spain 🇪🇸
Latin America is a mix of everything, so stop with you stereotypes. you will be surprise how many Latins you have met, and you didn't even notice it
i read that her mother was born in Arizona to mexican parents then traveled down to mexico where she grew up and her dad is argentino so i shes proud of her roots let her be
Es de ascendencia europea,más que latina,su madre No es de padres mexicanos,su madre vivió en México un tiempo, Alexis lo dijo alguna vez.
Alexis mom moved to Mexico City when she was 8
she's so shy
Thanks for posting. Love Alexis Bledel! She is so incredible, beautiful and talented!!! Great interview! Love and Miss Gilmore Girls so so much!!! =)=)=)

Simplemente Alexis ,No tiene ascendencia latina,solo el hecho de que su padre naciera en Sudamérica.
@@juanjulioromancampos9814 😅😅😅 entonces que es el padre si es argentino es (lamentablemente porque odio esa palabrita yanki) ..latino
same here man, same here
if you live and grew up in Mexico that makes you mexican, it's not like you can "look" mexican anyways since hispanic isn't a race
True, but she is not of Mexican descent, she is of European/White descent. You cannot change what's in your DNA.
her mum was brought out in Mexico but isnt mexican , their parents arent mexican either , but his father was from Argentina also their parents were Argentinian
Alexis dad parents was from Argetina it didn't say her mom parenrs where from there. I think you need to read it again.
whats the name of the theme music when she enters, sounds noice.
Its all about stereotypes...... the stereo-typical image of people from south america...... sad but true.
That's not true. It may be right that about 97% of Argentine people have European blood, but the percentaje of white people is quite below that number because of mixture.

That's not true....mexicans don't dislike argentinans....i would know because I'm mexican :)
It is pretty surprising that she's Spanish. That's funny that she understood what they were saying at supercuts though. lol!
i am Argentinian and i am even more White than Alexis and my eyes are Brighter than Alexis .. So they shouldnt be surprised they should come here :S
Japanese Americans, Asians Brits, and others have the exact same experience! It's mildly annoying at times, that people with phds can be so ignorant, but hey what can ya do?
The same happens to me 🙄 seems that people think that a person who is white can't be Spanish. I'm white and I'm from Spain!

She is HISPANIC not SPANISH, ignorant. SPANISH are people born in Spain which is not her case.
Ummm, that's a completly different story. Japeneses are in fact, unlike Hispanics, a single homogenous ethnicity.
i have seen many white mexicans
@EclecticBarbarella Well the real South African are black. I'm just saying.
what the heck? am not even Brazilian
lol.. the origin od the american people was european. puritans, english , dutchs, german, italia, african etc... the same thing in argentina. spanish, italians , frenchs, germans and jews the < %

ella no es "latina" ella es estadounidense con origenes argentino-mexicano
she is so much prettier when she has long hair
That's ironic as Mexicans typically tend to dislike Argentinians.
Whaaat? She's Hispanic?? Prettiest Hispanic girl I've ever seen.
ZulKoji that’s fucked up! There a lot of pretty Hispanic women!
Damaris Esparza Latinas are beautiful
LOL i think you mean brazilians dislike argentineans :P
I love you Lexy! you could have been my wife, because I'm a snake boy and I love sexy roosters, but whatever! either way, I still love you.
Hispanic is not a race! She's of German, Dutch and French decent, but her parents were born in Latin America!
