You can never make me hate her.

So im sure she always knew the difference between Latino and Latina, but she seems still confused! is she acting confused on purpose to not embarrass herself and change the subject?

I’m still confused. Why was it funny/wrong? I don’t speak Spanish.

I believe it’s because she also doesn’t speak Spanish despite putting a lot of emphasis on being of Latin American decent. I’ve seen a lot of people calling her a fake Latina

it is wrong gramatically and it just sounds wrong, in spanish we gender everything and we dont have a gender neutral pronouns like "the" and so we gender adjectives too. So for specific words that dont have gender attached like "gente" we put femenine pronoums "La" so it is "la gente" and if it were to have adjectives it would be femenine too, so the correct way to say it is "Mi gente Latina"

Silly criticism in my opinion

 

My background (Portuguese) has a lot of proud people here in Canada that love their cultural roots especially music and food and love identifying as portuguese as their nationality...

 

Yet most under age 40 speak Portuguese terribly because it was their grandparents that moved to Canada in the 1970s and 1980s and since then Portuguese immigration has mostly died and every one my age speaks the language badly because they were already raised here

 

I see nothing wrong with loving ur roots even if your strength as a member of that culture is questionable and amateur

Hopefully she gets it now

She has all the resources to perfect her Spanish if she wanted to, we find it ironic that Ben Affleck speaks better Spanish than her.

I agree but why is that a requirement? If u dont speak a language super well ur not allowed to be proud of ur cultural heritage?

 

I just dont see why one negates the other

[Miky 9,580]

Americans are too obsessed with these things lmao. Literally nobody else cares where you are from, if you speak the language or whatever

[Davidsdaze 578]

lol this is funny. Everyone’s acting like you haven’t stuttered or mispronounced something while speaking to a big audience. Surprise! It happens in other languages as well.

I think it more so has to do with the fact that she heavily clings onto her “roots” from a purely PR standpoint. I as far as I know, she’s never given back to the Bronx and to the people she exploits. She doesn’t come off as genuine in any way shape or form when it comes to shouting out her roots

In that context, ok fair

Its the fact that she said it wrong. The correct way is Mi gente latina. What made it so funny to me is that she said it so sure and so passionate like.. *takes deep breath, really feeling the moment" then: mi gente latinooo
