Emily Estefan: Being ‘Outed’ for Her Sexuality, Colorism in the Latino Community, & ‘Red Table Talk’ 

She is the spitting image of Gloria. Even her mannerisms. Beautiful

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!!! 🥰😍🤩🤜🏽🤛🏿🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

She's the spitting image of Gloria. Her speaking voice and how she talks with her hands

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.

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.

When white latinos are aware they're white latinos>>>> She shaking the table.

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.

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.

She sounds just like her Mama

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.

I like her she seems cool & has a good sense of humor

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.

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

Wow she sounds like Gloria Estefan Madre mía suena como gloria Estefan

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!

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.

Emily Estefan Is Her Mother's CLONE,Looks,Talks Moves Like Her,Muy Bonita!!! 🥰😍🤩

Wow how she looks like her mom. Loni I love the dress you are wearing.

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.

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.

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.

I love this look on loni. All the ladies look beautiful

6 minutes in and I just realized that's not Gloria.

Omg! She's her mother's twin. Beautiful! Gonna listen to mi Tierra right now,..lol

I love Lonis’ dress 💕

60 year old latina loving u and your spirit Emily

Wow she seems like such a dope person

Gloria looks so hurt....a mother's love

She has her mother’s talking voice

So I'm trying to understand do Jada and Willow produce the show!

She’s a splitting image of her mother

Love you so much Emily!

She is fabulous

Their make-up artists need to step back - WHEW!

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.

2021, Interesting.

I am late..i thought red table was jada's show...so it has expanded?

Why are they asking light skinned latinas about colourism

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 🥺😤

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

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…

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

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.

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.

I don’t know why, but when fair skinned Latinx claim to be white, it seems so odd to me

Whatever.....

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.

Wow. She sees herself as white. That is something. Alittle heartbreaking.

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 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!
