After Being Called A “Fake Latina” For Not Speaking Spanish, Jenna Ortega Has Opened Up About The “Shame” Of Not Feeling Like A “Good Enough” Representative For Her Community

In case you missed it, in a 12-second clip from a fashion show in Paris, Anya Taylor-Joy could be seen introducing her husband, Malcolm McRae, to Spanish singer Rosalía and actor Jenna in Spanish. 

Anya was born in Miami, but her father is Argentine, and she spent her childhood in Buenos Aires, so she is fluent in the native language.

On the other hand, Jenna was born and raised in California and does not speak Spanish. When she responded to Anya’s introduction by greeting Malcolm in English, she found herself at the mercy of internet users who argued that she was a “fake Latina.”
