Gina Rodriguez is making headlines again, and not in a good way. After appearing on the SiriusXM radio show, “Sway In The Morning,” earlier this week, the 34-year-old actor addressed several past controversial comments, which lead to even more backlash from users on social media. In the process of addressing her statements—many of which have justifiably been labelled anti-Black—Rodriguez struggled to hold back tears and noted that her quotes were “misinterpreted” by the Black community.
Marvel and DC are killing it in inclusion and women but where are the Latinos?! Asking for a friend…It all began in 2017, after Rodriguez fired off a tweet in response to the superhero flick Black Panther, which features a stunning cast of Black actors. In it, she questioned Marvel and DC’s lack of Latinx representation in their films—diminishing this particular film’s immense significance for the Black community.
Rodriguez’s statements all follow a disturbing pattern that explicitly targets the Black community. Yes, her activism and her consistent advocacy efforts dedicated to highlighting key issues involving voting and pay inequality for Latinx workers is honourable, but she has proven time and time again that she’s just another woke celebrity who prides herself on “women empowerment” yet vehemently excludes Black women from that narrative.
“We didn’t have many Latino shows and the Black community made me feel like I was seen,” said the actor. “So to get anti-Black is to say I’m anti-family.” She then lamented her ancestry, asserting that her father is a dark-skinned Afro-Latinx. “It’s in my blood,” said Rodriguez. “So it was really devastating to me. And I know my heart. I know what I meant. I really wish that we weren’t living in a culture where we’re clickbait because I’ve never said anything controversial about anybody.
