Cameron Diaz is pretty white. Isn't she supposed to be Cuban?
Yes. Definitely more white Cuban than Eva Mendes.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

I just spent 4 hours drinking wine with my neighbors. A lot of wine. We might have migrated to the porch in a really bad thunderstorm to admire it because it was that awesome and SO FUCKING MUCH COOLER. It really was all of that.
I might hate tomorrow morning, but tonight was awesome.
And I wonder if my neighbor's boyfriend is at all creeped out that he has a fanclub. We don't want him for a boyfriend, really. But we all think he is the gold standard of boyfriends, and think FINALLY after many frogs with many warts, neighbor S has hit the jackpot. Even she's in shock, a year into it. He's already ruined it for one now-ex-boyfriend...

Most of the Cubans I went to high school with had dark complexions and black hair. They looked fairly Mediterranean. Swarthy, I guess.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Eva's dark enough to sleep with Will Smith characters without note. Cameron is definitely not.

Being half-Iranian, I've felt like there should be a box other than white for me to check. My anglo genes are extremely strong, so I look white-white, but it feels strange every time I check white.

Your color spectrum is more refined than mine. Eva registers as White Girl to me. So there's not more or less of a deal with her getting jiggy with Will than Cameron from my perspective.

I was totes surprised when I was in HR that there was no Arab-American type category and that as far as the EEO was concerned, people from Iran and Iraq and Saudi Arabia were White and people from India were Asian.

Now tagless for your comfort.
My niece is 3 and bitchy.
Bwhahahahaha! She sounds EXACTLY like Olivia. Thankfully, some of Liv's edges are wearing off.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I work at a school that has a very high Asian population (both east Asian and Middle Eastern). The kids self-differentiate by calling themselves "Asian" for Middle Eastern, "Island Asian" for Phillipino, and "Slanty-Eyed Asian" for east Asian. The first time I heard the last one, I stopped them. They seemed confused why I thought that might be bad. To them, it was just a descriptor.
