[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]- from Snow White?

Title says it all[/quote]

Colombian and Polish [/quote] Yes, but neither of those is her race.  Her race is white, although some Colombians have European, Indigenous, and African ancestry, but that would be my guess. She identifies as Latina (that's her ethnicity). [/quote]

Sorry, but I hope you meant to write LatinX, but wrote “Latina” on accident.[/quote] No, I wrote that on purpose.  After i read your post I googled to see if I made a mistake and I found an Elle article where she was asked.

[i] When asked if she prefers “Latinx or Latina,” both she and Jessica Alba responded:

Rachel Zegler: “Myself as well. There’s a lot of interesting vocabulary policing … in Spanish, [Latinx] is not really pronounceable. It would be latin equis

She explained that labels like Latinx, Hispanic, or Latino are loaded and sometimes painful because of their historical or cultural connotations, and that Latinx isn't something commonly used or felt natural—especially in Spanish-speaking communities .

Regarding how she personally embraces her identity, Zegler has consistently spoken with pride about being Colombian and Latina. For instance, she recalled having to prove her heritage during the West Side Story casting—a moment she’s since reclaimed as a source of pride:

“It’s an interesting experience being part of that diaspora … But I love being Colombian.”

More recently, she again affirmed her stance, saying she is proud to be a Latina and sees herself within that deeply rooted identity .[/i][/quote]
