Cool Red And Black Backgrounds Biography

source (google.com.pk)
IS AMERICAN ACTRESS Zoe Yadira Saldana black? 800 people are not sure. That is the approximate global number who Google this question each and every month about the actress and star of the films, Avatar and Star Trek. In fact, the New Jersey-born celebrity's parents are from diverse racial backgrounds. Her mother Asalia Nazario's nationality is Puerto Rican, while her father, Aridio Saldana, was from the Dominican Republic. He died in a car accident when Zoe was nine years old, after which the family relocated to the Dominican Republic.

MYSTERIOUS ETHNICITY
Like fellow celebrity Rosario Dawson, Saldana’s beauty intrigues in its ambiguity. She could pass for black, biracial, Brazilian, Indian, Pakistani, Persian or Latina. Her ethnicity has a rich history. The Dominican Republic, her father’s birthplace, is an island located in the Caribbean Sea, off the northern coast of Venezuela. Today the majority of its population are of African ancestry, but also present are Caribs — the traditional race of native Indians after whom the Caribbean was named, plus a large multi-ethnic population, as well as a minority of European nationalities descended from British, French and Irish colonists.

BACKGROUND NATIONALITY
Saldana’s mother’s birthplace, Puerto Rico, is an archipelago in the northeast of the Caribbean. Most of the population, who commonly refer to themselves as “boricuas”, are descendants of Taíno Indians, Africans, Europeans, or a combination of these groups. Saldaña also shares this side of her ethnic ancestry with one of Rosario Dawson's parents — her mother Isabel is part-Puerto Rican.

HOLLYWOOD AND RACE
It seems fitting then that Hollywood's most aesthetically mysterious actress was cast in the ethnically otherworldly role of Neytiri in James Cameron's epic, Avatar. But although Saldana's multi-ethnic background allows her to cross over into roles devised for both black and white actresses, she admits that she still comes up against narrow racial conventions when casting in Hollywood. “When they say, ‘We want to go white,’ they have a very smooth way of saying it, and the recent one is the word ‘traditional’,” she told Nylon magazine. “‘Oh, you know, you’re just not what we were looking for, your skin is a little darker.’”
