Eva Longoria, America Ferrera Call Out Hollywood Racism At Golden Globes (VIDEO)

Don't get Eva Longoria and America Ferrera confused! The two actresses presented the award for Best Actor in a TV Drama together at the 2016 Golden Globe Awards where they decided to poke a little bit of fun at how Latina actresses are frequently mistaken for each other.

"Hi, I'm Eva Longoria, not Eva Mendes," the "Telenovela" star said Sunday night.

"I'm America Ferrera," the former "Ugly Betty" actress said. "Not Gina Rodriguez."

"And neither one of us are Rosario Dawson," Longoria added.

"Well said, Salma," Ferrera said to her co-presenter.

"Thank you, Charo," Longoria replied.

Back in December when the nominees for the Golden Globes were announced, the official Twitter site for the awards show mistakenly identified Ferrera as "Jane the Virgin" actress Gina Rodriguez, according to the Huffington Post.

Rodriguez previously opened up to Entertainment Tonight about the mishap.

"I didn't hear anything until recently someone sent me an article, but who cares?" Rodriguez said. "America's lovely. She's so beautiful and such a fantastic actress. If there's anybody I want to get mixed up with - it's her, for sure!"

Longoria and Ferrera were not the only people to touch on the issue of Latinos and the racism at the Golden Globes. Host Ricky Gervais also decided to call out GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump during the ceremony.

"Eva Longoria and America Ferrera are not just beautiful, talented actresses, they're also two people who your future president Donald Trump can't wait to deport," Gervais joked.
