#i had to stop reading the comments bc all the latina comments from 100% serious ppl was bothering me sm

[throwbacktears]

when liv captioned her post in spanish i just KNEW people were going to comment that shes proud to be latina

and they did not disappoint .. !

she is literally half asian. filipino, specifically. and it makes me so, so sad that thats not more known about her.

#even tho she’s arguably the biggest filipino star aside bruno mars and her. but she didnt grow up with that heritage #so she doesnt represent it. and i cant blame her. but it just brings up a larger issue of filipino culture/assimilation/lack of #proud representation for being pinoy in western media by someone as big as her #and bc of it - and unless you know about the history of the philippines being colonized by the spaniards - you wouldnt know #the rodrigo in her name is of her filipino/asian heritage #this is giving ariana grande latina queen all over again but on a much more personal level 😩😩 #i had to stop reading the comments bc all the latina comments from 100% serious ppl was bothering me sm #again i cant blame them bc we’re/our history isnt well known or represented but it still hurts we cant have that rep anywhere #let alone by someone as big of a star as her #olivia rodrigo #philippines #filipino #mytext
