Jessica Alba has said that she hopes her baby inherits her dark looks.

The pregnant Fantastic Four actress is still furiously embracing her Mexican heritage after drawing criticism last year when she said that she considers herself to be American and not Latina.

She tells the latest issue of Latina magazine. "I'm excited for my baby to be brown. I just have to believe the dark gene is going to survive. Cash [Warren] and I are like, please!"

She backpeddles some more when commenting on her own ethnic looks: "I like that I look different. I like having flavor. I think it's funny that women get their lips injected and get butt implants.

"Everyone wants to look like us now."
