I'm not sure the character was given any specific ethnicity.
The decision to make Willow a lesbian instead of bisexual was problematic, as well, since Willow was clearly attracted to her boyfriend Oz in high school. It would have been more realistic and more groundbreaking if Willow had come out as bisexual (since that is never done on television), or at least had a discussion with Tara or Buffy about whether she was bisexual or a lesbian, instead of just pretending bisexuality didn't even exist.
Sigh. YES. Still kind of irks.
Ah, the revelations. Kennedy is hispanic, the first lesbian sex scene on netowrk television--and all this post-show.
I think that's all kind of the beauty of it...no one thought much about it because it was all so normal.
I thought Kennedy was supposed to be East Coast old money. Which is unlikely, if you're Latina.
Yes. Need more bisexuality on network (or any!) TV.

CJ and Bayliss are NOT ENOUGH!!!!!!!
Damn it.
Mmmm. Bayliss.
Is anyone getting the HLotS dvds?

Sadly, I think the only bisexuality that your average network executive will tolerate is from his mistress. And maybe his wife if he gets to watch.

While I agree with this last point, I think it's fine to have Willow be gay, not bisexual. But then again, I think that sexuality is pretty fluid. I have known some women who saw themselves as straight and then, later, gay. I think it's different than someone who sees herself as bisexual. So while I agree it would have been nice to have Willow see herself as bisexual, I think that "gay now" is equally valid.
Kennedy was money, not old money. Someone in NAFDA (Madrigal, maybe?) objected to her having the name 'Kennedy' because old money wouldn't do that, and then we had this big conversation, because it was never said she was old money, and - in fact - as far as the East Coast is concerned, the Kennedy's aren't old money, either. So it probably got stuck in your head as a Kennedy fact, when it was just Buffistas being Buffistas.
CJ was from L.A. Law, yes? Amanda Donahoe's character?
