Zoe Saldana has come under fire for both type-casting and for denying part of her heritage. However, if her recent Google hangout is any indication, she not only is very proud of her heritage, she has no intention of being type-cast in any role!

On Thursday, Zoe held a Google+ Hangout with various members of the press, where she addressed her critics who were concerned that she wasn't "black" or "Latina" enough.

"If I only want to do roles that are about me then I am not being an actor, then I am being a celebrity. I am not into celebrity s-h-i-t," Saldana said. "If someone has the ability to see in me that I can play a character no matter what racial background, economical background, cultural background, gender too - because I would love to play a man one day if it's possible - I would be honored."

"My composition consists of African heritage as well as European as well as indigenous," she continued. "The difference between me and a lot of my people is that I love it and I embrace it. And I don't want to whitewash myself or wash myself of anything, but at the end of the day I want to be considered to be an artist that is gender-less, that is race-less, that is neutral."
