REALLY now, what is it about Prince and the Latino culture?

He seems be very intriqued by Hispanic/Latino culture. Not only his woman, and sure they may not be latino but they sure as hell look it. He seems to have no problem publically aknowledging his open friendships with latinos.

Why would he have a problem acknowledging friendships with Latinos? Should he?

some people just fall in love with the asthetics of certain cultures, go figure. i go through fascinations with indian and middle eastern culture - i just think the music and art and design is beautiful, and the way people live fascinates me.

of course, the long and short of it is prince probably just likes latina chicks. lol

It might also be to do with his own need to belong somewhere.

I'm not sure what race Prince is exactly.

I've read all sorts of things.

I'm from a mixed culture and I've always found it difficult to feel comfortable in my own skin.

I'm not quite this and I'm not quite that.

As I've got older I'm coll with it but it's taken a long time.

It also depends how cool your family are with stuff like that.

For me I was always seeking out new religions and cultures etc because I was interested and I lacked it in my own.
Shut up already, damn.

lol I remember telling a girlfriend who was not a big Prince fan "Oh I love Prince!" She laughed and said "Oh girl you know he likes those latinas!" Funny that people who are not into Prince even assume this!

I don't know if he solely has a facination with latino culture. Actually I think he just likes to keep an open mind and likes to learn new things...like he really got into french culture during Under the Cherry Moon, Middle Eastern/Egyptian culture when he hooked up with Mayte, now exploring latin music recently..I think he just likes to learn about different people and societies.

Growing up in Minnesota I really don't feel latina. I don't speek portugeese or spanish but that doesn't mean I dislike that side of myself, I just mostly grew up with white people. I don't think any kind of facination with another culture equals any sort of rejection of their own. Not that that is what you were implying it is just sometimes people could assume that when that is not reality.

for the gizzilionth time... Prince is black and Mayte is Puerto Rican (not egyption/moroccan as they were trying to promote back in the day because of her belly dancing). and as Anxiety said it... he just like latinas... it's really not that deep.
Come here, babe.. yeah...

No, the only people prince hates is the "White Devils", them honkeys.
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.

Just to play devil's advocate. Do you think Prince has represented Black women well in his videos and movies?

That's a great rant, but you didn't answer the question. The question was not about white women or Tiger Woods, nor does the question state that he did anything wrong. Prince is black, so the question was about black women.

I don't think that's true. I remember Prince mentioning that he has Native American blood in his lineage.
