   With "latinas" you mean women with "native American" genes.   
   Latin people are actually Spaniards, Italians, Portuguese, Romanian and French.   
   You meant the real Americans.   
      
   Also, Penélope Cruz is half gipsy, not totally southern European.   
      
   And Shakira is ugly as hell. Can't understand why some twats think she's   
   pretty. Try some of her photos without makeup.
