She might be a redhead, but that doesn't mean Bella Thorne isn't Latina and proud.
"You don't have to have brown hair to be Latin," she told HuffPost Live on Tuesday. "It's just a fact."
Plenty of Latinas have lighter hair, the "Alvin and the Chipmunks" actress affirmed, citing Cameron Diaz as an example.
And while the naturally-blonde Thorne is bothered that people are constantly questioning her heritage, she has no problem setting them straight.
"People ask me all the time 'How did you have a Quinceañera if you're not Latin?'" she recounted. "It's a little annoying that people don't realize I'm Latin, but it's okay because I'm like right up there to tell them that I am."
