Come on now Mami Longoria. He's half-white.

EVA LONGORIA's mother gave the DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES star a sober reminder of her inter-racial romance with basketballer TONY PARKER - by insisting she didn't send her grandmother a picture of her lover. Longoria tells the new issue of Allure magazine that she was planning to post her grandmother a SAN ANTONIO SPURS calendar, so she could see what her boyfriend looked like - but her mother reminded her that not everyone approves of the fact she's dating a bi-racial man. Longoria recalls, "She said, 'You can't give grandma a calendar. She doesn't know Tony's black.' I said, 'We'll just tell her he's French.'"

Maybe they have a copy of "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" with Spanish subtitles to send to the grandmother.

Considering his complexion I should correct you and say that Tony Parker is white

I am not surprised at this revelation

If you ever saw Ms. Longoria's family, you'd see why they would have a problem with her boyfriend.

It is easy to tell he is half black. He has the same complexion as one of my nieces and she has two black parents.

No surprise. A lot of older Latinos don't like black men. I'd wait a while to tell my abuela, too. Sometimes it just isn't worth it to upset an older woman who is set in her ways.

As long as she doesn't have a problem with it then it's okay. Eventually the mother/grandmother will die off and be unable to preach their evil.

Many of the younger one don't like black men either.

Everything you said is true. I read the same thing about her. I wonder what her fair skinned sisiters are doing now? I know they aren't as famous as their "dark' sister.

Yeah I read that, too. Eva was saying that all her sisters are pale and blond.

So, let me get this right. A Litino has the audacity to discriminate against someone who is Black? That whole train of thought is indicative of crabs in a barrel. She has some nerve looking down her wrinked brown nose when most people think hispanics are in a lower class than blacks. That really ticks me off!
