CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 - Jan. 20)
Alicia Keys
"I love my heritage! I have my mother who is an
Irish-Italian, and my father who is African, so I have the taste
buds of an Italian and the spice of an African."

AQUARIUS
(Jan. 21-Feb.19)
Lou Diamond Philips
"Many times I've been
able to play the hero, he's an
American. ... And the face of
the American hero is changing.
And I still do ethnic roles
because, first of all, I'm
ethnic and I can do these and
they're fun..."

PISCES
(Feb.20-March
20)
Rashida Jones
"People still say things to me like, 'Oh my god,
you're black? I would've never guessed that.' And I just think, I
can't help your ignorance. There are bi-racial people who look like
me or who look like Alicia Keys or who look like Halle Berry. I'm so
proud to be so many things."
|
ARIES
(March
21 - April 20)
Mariah Carey
"I have a mother who is 100 percent Irish who raised me from my
birth and who is my best friend. So if I were to say that I'm Black
only, that would be negating everything she is. So when people ask,
I say I'm Black, Venezuelan and Irish, because that's who I am."

TAURUS
(April 21 - May 21)
The Rock
"I'm very proud of what I am.
That'll never change. We can
change a lot of things. I cannot
change. I can't change the color
of my skin, and neither can
you."
|
GEMINI
(May 22- June 21)
Lenny Kravitz
"My mom sat me down and said,
'Look, I'm black. I'm West
Indian and African-American.
Your father's Jewish and he's
white. I want you to be proud of
both sides. You're just as much
one as the other. But society
says you're black.' She taught
me to be proud of what you are.
Know that you are both. Embrace
it."

CANCER
(June 22 - July 23)
Derek Jeter
"People didn't know
what race I was. Most people thought I was Spanish, so I'd go up to
hit and be on deck and people'd be speaking Spanish to me. I had no
idea what they were saying!"
|
LEO
(July 24 - Aug. 23)
Devon Aoki
"My mom is
German-English. I grew up with my mom, but I can't escape the way I
look and my whole life [because of that] I've had a strong sense of
self because of it."
|
VIRGO
(Aug. 24 - Sept. 23)
Cameron Diaz
"All my life, because I'm blonde
and blue-eyed, people who aren't
Hispanic can't believe I am. And
people who are Hispanic always
think I'm not, because I don't
look like them.”
|
LIBRA
(Sept. 24 - Oct. 23)
Sharon Leal
"I started off with my first
Broadway show, 'Miss Saigon,'
and it doesn't get any more
Asian than that. I won the Asian
Excellence Award and I know
people were like, "Huh?"
|
SCORPIO
(Oct. 24 - Nov. 22)
Lisa Bonet
“I had absolutely no
idea where I belonged in life, I mean position and in school…I don’t
know, growing up is so hard…It was really weird,” she told Ebony
magazine. “because, like you know, the Black kids would call me
‘Oreo,” and I just didn’t feel totally at home and accepted with all
those, you know, White rich people.”
|
SAGITTARIUS
(NOV. 23- DEC. 21
Benjamin
Bratt
"Too often, the industry
tends to generalize the character's ethnic makeup," Bratt explained
to the New York Daily News. "They don't ever really take into
account that millions of people in this country are made up of many
different cultural backgrounds."
