She is the spitting image of Gloria. Even her mannerisms. Beautiful
Just wow.
Sounds like her, as well.
She's the spitting image of Gloria. Her speaking voice and how she talks with her hands
I Like Her. She Admits That's She's White,Has Privilege,And She's Actively Going About Making Postive Changes In Society For Black And Brown People Who Don't Have Privilege In This Society!!! 🥰😍🤩🤜🏽🤛🏿🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I thought she’s half Arab /lebanese is middle eastern
Yes, but the thing about the Caribbean is that we are all African descendants regardless of skin color - meaning that behavior, food, music, slangs & idioms within Caribbean Spanish, spirituality, and traditions are very much African
I love that Red Table Talk expanded to other communities having real cultural conversations. I want Jeannie to start a Red Table Talk with Mama Mai and her brother for Asian families.
I believe Gloria and Jada are really great friends. I wonder if it was something they came up with together? Good idea either way.
That would be cool
Sounds like a great idea 💡
I’m glad that she admits that she’s white, but I do want to take note that a lot of white passing Latinos don’t want to admit their privilege, that a brown skinned Latina would be more likely to be racially profiled, and of course get racism. Of course white passing Latinos got their problems for example not much ppl recognizing them as Latino, etc. I can’t really speak on that cause I don’t experience that. But each one is valid but recognize the privilege is what I’m tryna say, we are all Latinos but we have different experiences.
She's not white passing. She's just white.
@@kaylad4486 Exactly! Speaking Spanish doesn’t mean she can’t be white. She’s a white Latina
@@kaylad4486 oh my bad thanks for letting me know 😂😅
@@kaylad4486 White?
@@lunaspots31 I’m confused who you replying to 😂
There is NO such thing as a Latino Race. It's just different races of people that came out of the old colonial Spanish Empire.
THAT PART!!! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
No,in the case of the Caribbean we are mix with taino indians (people of color) who spoke hebrew, african from Nigeria and Spain. If you cant connect with all 3 ancestors, you would not know.
@@niarijewels9828 I am still correct. People of different races. All the peoples you mentioned is part of my analysis. Thanks for the input.
@@niarijewels9828 Most of the Indigenous ppl in the Carribean were wiped out. This " las tres razas" bs is inaccurate and is anti-black af bc it erases Black Latinos and the fact that the white ones are the descendant of the slave owners/colonizers over there.
@@chanelmapendo3761 just like you connect to your ancestors, i connect with mines. I am Taino, i am Spaniard and i am also African, i am Puerto Rican. The wind that blows your hair, the snow that covers the trees and the sun that shines brigth....i am Boriqua. 👁 we represent love. Thats why we are not a race but a ethnicity. One like no other!
When white latinos are aware they're white latinos>>>> She shaking the table.
Bare minimum but it’s a rare sighting lol 🤦🏽♀️
She sounds just like her Mama
RTT: Estefans is an amazing show. I have so enjoyed this spinoff on the RTT show. They are just as open and willing to learn, share and grow as the SMITH family. I've learned a lot from them sharing their perspectives.
I would love to see their show! I have topics in my head that I hope they talk about on their show. There are people in my family who don’t appreciate these kinds of conversations so it’s hard to have. A show like this is a great example of communication
I like her she seems cool & has a good sense of humor
She's so pretty. Yeah my friend is a light skin Latina and she is oblivious to how good she's treated compared to her sister that is a little darker.
Same! I get racist Latinos saying things to me because I’m a caramel complexion. Even darker ones and light skin ones.
Wow she sounds like Gloria Estefan
Madre mía suena como gloria Estefan
She’s a great speaker
The Estefan's are royalty. I remember when Emily was a baby! Emily is beautiful and talented beyond words. I'm all for Queer representation in Latino/x-American (in the USA) media.
Wow she sounds like her mother 😉. I love Gloria Estefan all my life. My mom bought me her album Mi Tierra. I miss her been 28 years and we used to always listen that song.
That's what I am talking about, "diversity". I enjoy hearing stories from people with different background, upbringing, and culture. I want to hear more stories like that!
I think this could finally be the turning point in Latin world. So many people just can’t comprehend that it’s not a race and they don’t want to own their whiteness and try to exclude themselves. I’m glad she knows it and seems like Adrienne can agree that she is also white despite her over tanning.
Turning point. Its you americans who realize this. Adrienne is also white? Wtf is wrong with americans. Why you guys care so much of race. Deep down you have fetish for latin america
Adrienne is South American and Puerto Rico that a natural tan
@@hectoracosta8152 lol I don’t want to be
in the third world boo. And I know she is from the conquistadors so no thanks!
@@chasittygomez4231 that tan is not natural her hands never match her face 🥴
Adrienne is white now?? 💀
Emily Estefan Is Her Mother's CLONE,Looks,Talks Moves Like Her,Muy Bonita!!! 🥰😍🤩
Shes her mother's twin 💯❗
I can’t believe her mom told her if she told her grandmother and she passed away that it would be her fault. Damn, cold.
The truth hurts. The grandmother was obviously of a particular age. Why share that information with a person who culturally would probably not have accepted the lifestyle? How would Emily have felt if her grandmother rejected her? Her Mom knew how her mother felt about these things and was only trying to protect Emily. If Emily feels that her grandmother already knew then Emily should take comfort in that thought. If my grandson would come out, I would love him the same however I would make it clear that I do not condone homosexuality. Please do not tell me about it in my final years though.
Wow how she looks like her mom. Loni I love the dress you are wearing.
I love this look on loni. All the ladies look beautiful
Same experience with never seeing same sex couples. She summed up the Latino experience. As long as we don't talk about it, it doesn't exist.
6 minutes in and I just realized that's not Gloria.
I love Lonis’ dress 💕
60 year old latina loving u and your spirit Emily
Omg! She's her mother's twin. Beautiful! Gonna listen to mi Tierra right now,..lol
So I'm trying to understand do Jada and Willow produce the show!
Love you so much Emily!
Wow she seems like such a dope person
Gloria looks so hurt....a mother's love
She is fabulous
2021, Interesting.
She has her mother’s talking voice
She seems cool. Gloria Estefan is a gay icon and friendly with Rosie O'Donnell, so I'm shocked that her daughter didn't know any gay couples.
She’s a splitting image of her mother
Their make-up artists need to step back - WHEW!
Why are they asking light skinned latinas about colourism
Is that even a serious question
I get it but at least she acknowledged it unlike most
Why not?? Colorism exists within latino communities
Because they want to know her opinion. All tones of the latin community are asked this question and should be asked this question. It's similar to colourism in the black community, etc. My sisters are a few shades lighter than me, but they still can form an opinion. The question is asked, regardless, because we want to shed light on the unfortunate situation.
Because they discussed the topic on the Red Table Talk , they even had celebrity Afro Latinos who were on that episode to discuss their own experiences
I am late..i thought red table was jada's show...so it has expanded?
Yes
She’s honestly the Hispanic version of willow smith she’s so wise and her vocal ability sounds on a mastery level at such a young age.
Colorist views work both ways. There’s hatred towards dark skin people as well as light skin within the black community. In regards to race, I can’t speak for the Latino community but in the black community you are looked at as black and discriminated against with light skin too. I hate it, it’s almost 2022 and we are still mistreating people and making assumptions based on skin tone, it’s disgusting. We are people. “No one” is better than me because of my complexion and vice versa. You don’t have to put me down to lift someone else up 🥺😤
No it doesn’t work both ways.
Colorism toward darker skin people is systemic.
There are literally laws and regulations put in place that specifically target darker skin people.
It doesn't go both ways
It's from colonization. Mental slavery.
@@madmann1000 Oh it definitely work both ways I am speaking from “experience” NOT something I heard. There are unwritten rules/laws as well!
@@Jaimelikegem It does!!
Hi edagdwg don't know Her she is herself can't take it from her god bless her being yourself is real Linda j. Peace
I had no idea the Estefans were at red table talk? So they got their own red table? Is this same red table as Jada Smith? How exciting either way but i hope it’s their own table space. I’m just not much of a fan of Jada, but I do like the idea of the “red table talk” in general so kudos for her idea I guess…
Yeah they have their own red table talk show like jada smith :)
As an Afro-Latina...Let me say this. First of all, she may have fair skin, but she is not "white!!!" She is CUBAN...dig 2 generations back on either side of her family tree and I bet you she will find an Abuela or Abuelo (grandmother/grandfather in Spanish) darker than the midnight sky. In other words her Abuelita most likely is a Negrita Como Yo! (Her grandmother most likely is a black woman like me!). We all know Cubans, Dominicans, Puertoricans, Honduranians, etc. tiene sangre Negro (have black blood!) Stop the madness!! Let us stop denying our African lineage because we "look white"...it does not mean your ancestors were not African or Indigenous people. Black comes in many different and exquisite shades. Her mother and father definitely are not white either!! Embrace your entire cultura (especially the African part...no need to be ashamed). Straight facts I speak.
@@lunaspots31 I am not sure about your comment: "...Physical features and how people can quickly identify you..." So because she thinks she is portrayed as white by the outside world, she should claim she is white, even though if untrue. Yes agreed, Latino is a ethnicity...and not a race. A Latina can be of any race as it is beautifully shown in my country of Panama. The reason I mentioned those countries is because their history includes a lot of slaves that were brought to those countries - Therefore people from that country most likely have some African Ancestry (even if they want to deny it!). *Bottom line - She is still not White and/or Caucasian! ELLA ERES NEGRITA MAMACITA - QUE PASA!!*
@UCIMkWiCwTXZKFSbCoB_S5OA Senorita Maria...I am not sure you truly understand what race is about and it's complexities. I can be black and not outwardly express typical black features...but still is black. Please look up the definition of Phenotype & Genotype. This is why some Latinas are very confused about who they truly are. Also, please read up on the history of these various Latin countries and how Spain and Portugal profited off the backs of slaves labor.
I think it is less about her denying parts of her ancestry but acknowledging her experience in the world as a white passing and majority Spaniard & middle Eastern Latina. No need to say what is most likely when you can look up her parents genealogy to see for yourself.
Not all Latin people of the Americans are mixed race and those that aren't (or barely are) should acknowledge their privilege
Yes,Miss Panama,There Are Most Definitely Latinos/Latinas Who Have A BLACK Grandmother Or Grandfather In Their Direct Family Line,The Cuban Actress Eva Mendes Is A Prime Example,But I Believe The Estefans Are Of Predominantly White Middle Eastern/Spanish Ancestry. There Are Many "White Passing" People With African(Black) Ancestry,The Singer Carly Simon,Who Has A White Jewish Father Discovered That On Her Mother's Side She Had A Black Great Grandmother,Her Mother's Family Immigrated From CUBA!!!
@@sart1348 but vast majority of them are.
I am so glad she said she was white, white latinos be getting me mad when they don't acknowledge that so thank you for teaching so i don't have to take that labor on cause it can be exhausting
Honestly no one needs to know your sexuality and what you do behind closed door it’s not our business!
She’s definitely not white in the American sense but she is a lighter skinned Latina and that does come with privilege.
It’s giving erasure and whitewashing towards/of Latino culture. I’m proud of my african and indigenous roots and I find it disrespectful that, people who are uneducated of our very complex history w/ our culture/roots/race/ethnicity, try to erase centuries of work put in to rebuilding/combining the cultures/languages that were so close to being erased from our ancestors. ✊🏿✊🏾. Latino need to stop denying their multiracial roots and learn to accept and embrace them. Just because u don’t get discriminated against doesn’t mean ur automatically white, it just means u have light-skin privilege, which means u have it easier compared to darker-skinned Latinos, but that doesn’t apply to everyone thou, there are plenty of latinos who are light-skinned, and still get discriminated against. Let’s not forget bout the Walmart massacre in El Paso, that targeted Hispanics/Latinos, the man responsible for the crime didn’t care if u were a light-skin, brown-skin or dark-skin, his plan was to kill as many of “US” as possible. It’s clear and set in stone that “America” doesn’t see us as white, why? Cos we simply aren’t, we might be mixed w/ it but we also have are other roots. Yes there are Latinos who physically might appear more as one race then another, but that won’t erase the fact that we are mixed Generationally through centuries of mixing with the Spanish/Arabs/Portuguese/French/British/Africans/Natives/Indians, that at this point it just becomes seamless.
I dont believe in "white Latins" however I do believe in Spainards; and their is a distinct difference but they both can come to America and face discrimination, maybe not the same as a black American or Darker skin Latino because the way our society set up if you not Anglo-white you they aint going treat you right so calling yourself a "white Latina" not going get you nowhere but lumped in with the rest of us.
But this is why we have the word "brown" for the nuances a blanket term for all poc who dont fit the descriptive of black or white.
Whatever.....
I don’t know why, but when fair skinned Latinx claim to be white, it seems so odd to me
It is pure ignorance...they are black (Negrita)! Because they are fair skin, it is easier for them to claim they are white. I am sure as a Cuban, she has African and Indeginous roots as well.
Well what are they then? I get that as Latinos were a racially mixed group of people but America likes to group mixed people into one race box, so what would she be, for example?
@@misspanama6963
.....WHITE latinas who are pale and 100% blanca in Latin America are “negrita” to you? You’re delusional and reprehensible to be this determined to erasing actual Afro latinas / negritas with PREDOMINANT/ DIRECT African ancestry which makes them ACTUAL negritas y Afro latinas. You don’t know what race is and that it’s a construct aka due to how you are racialized in society by considering ur phenotype or you’re just playing obtuse bc you look exactly like these white latinas who are logical enough to claim their whiteness and do not want to have to do the same. Distant ancestry does not determine your SKIN COLOR and PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS. You’re BLANQUITA and you’re treated like it with privilege that latinas of color do not have!
“Fair skinned” is white. If your SKIN COLOR is white and your phenotype is of a white woman, you are white due to how you are perceived and racialized. You weirdos act like race does not exist in Latin America and like Blk and ACTUAL indigenous people aren’t at the bottom of the totem poles in terms of treatment and economic standing. white people claiming their whiteness, Black people claiming their Blackness, brown people claiming their brownness is an acknowledgement of REALITY. Wake up. Stop being ashamed of who you are and stop tryna take up space as a “person of color” when you are white or “fair skinned.” Latina/o” is not a race, it’s an ETHNICITY.
It did seem odd when she said she was a white woman, very odd. It would've been better understood if she said had said she was a white hispanic woman ( operative word-hispanic), then it would be clear that by white she meant light- a light hispanic woman. Her word choice or better yet, her word play is confusing to people and I think to her also. She is not a WHITE woman( as in white caucasian) but a LIGHT hispanic woman. White and light can look similar, but they are different. White is what we all know it is -WHITE. And light is what she is -LIGHT. I am bothereed by the word play.
Wow. She sees herself as white. That is something. Alittle heartbreaking.
Why?
That's what she is, lol
She sees herself as a white Latina because that’s what she is racially and ethnically
@@IlikepurpleXP why you guys are obessed with race in usa.
@@IlikepurpleXP no offense but who wants to be lump with white americans
I don't think its passing its just her look is more European looking. Look to yourself for happiness not others. Problem solved and people have too much time on their hands, volunteer instead!
It’s because her ancestry is from Europe, mainly Spain.
