Beauty and Brains!

I saw this on Michelle Malkin site, but it came from Town Hall by Mary Katharine Ham


The third-generation American and actress is under fire this week from fellow Latinos for comments she made to Para Todos magazine:

Alba is my last name and I'm proud of that. But that's it. My grandparents were born in California, the same as my parents, and though I may be proud of my last name, I'm American. Throughout my whole life, I've never felt connected to one particular race or heritage, nor did I feel accepted by any. If you break it down, I'm less Latina than Cameron Diaz, whose father is Cuban. But people don't call her Latina because she's blonde…

The article goes on to discuss Arnold and his "controversial" response when asked what immigrants can do to improve their sucess in America.
