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
