#I do realize people may be saying Asha is Afro latina because her voice actor is Afro Latina

[sanyu-thewitch05]

Just wanted to clear up some confusion with Asha from Wish, since I’ve been seeing it a lot. She’s not Afro-Latina but Afro Hispanic.

I’m assuming the media gets it wrong because over in the west (USA, South, and Latin America) a lot of the Hispanic people here are also Latino, so we tend use the terms interchangeably although they are completely different things. But have an overlap in the west due to Spanish colonization.

Here’s a visual if anyone wants it:

For anyone who don’t know, Spain and Portugal occupy the Iberian Peninsula, which is separated at its southern tip from North Africa by only a narrow strait situated at the juncture of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic.

I’m assuming since the name of Asha’s kingdom is Rosas, it’s closer to Spain. Also it wouldn’t make since to be associating her with being Latino( As I’ve already said a lot of people use Latino and Hispanic interchangeably due to the large overlap in the west) if she was assumed to be Portuguese or connected to Portugal in any way.

TLDR; Asha is Afro Hispanic, NOT Afro-Latina.
