Is Zoe saldana black?

According to IMDb, in a quote, she has stated:

"When I go to the D.R., the press in Santo Domingo always asks, "¿Qué te consideras, dominicana o americana?" (What do you consider yourself, Dominican or American?) I don't understand it, and it's the same people asking the same question. So I say, time and time again, "Yo soy una mujer negra." ("I am a black woman.") [They go,] "Oh, no, tú eres trigueñita." ("Oh no, you are 'dark skinned'") I'm like, "No! Let's get it straight, yo soy una mujer negra." ("I am a black woman.")"

She is Puerto Rican and Dominican. But these are not races, they are only cultures/nationalities. She also has Lebanese, Indian, Irish, and Jamaican lineage.

She tends to play black characters, and has said that she sees herself as a black woman.

In America, usually race is based simply on what people see as opposed to what they are. For example, when you look at Halle Berry or Barack Obama, if you didnt know them at all, never heard of them or anything, you would assume they are black (some would question whether they were "light skinned" black or if they were mixed, but none would really be 100% sure until they asked).

Being black does not equate to being "African American". Black is just the skintone. There are White Hispanics and even Black Hispanics. Once again, most people in America, assume and label based on the outer appearances and make conclusions off of that.

Also, People can self identify how they please. Even if she has Latina heritage, she can identify herself as black, since she is in skintone, black. Just like with Obama and Halle, they both self identify (for their own personal reasons) as black (sometimes interchanging it with biracial).

Although self identity, is more or less just how the person sees themselves (and is usually based off of their own personal experiences in life), usually by society's standards, no one cares for or respects your decision of how you self identify. Society in itself is very boxed in, and prefers to label to their own fitting.
