@reclusivesoul@monokichangf@ptriiichor Ok I can see you have some sorta Hispanic-purity complex, so I'm going to explain something to you. If one parent is from any Latin country, that means the child is HALF Latnix. Therefore half HISPANIC. It doesn't matter whether or not they have walked on soil. Goodbye.
@ilovelilies13@monokichangf@ptriiichor I'm fine with her actress being Afro-Latina or any other type, as long as they have some type of connection to Latin America. (Even biracial as Jude is literally confirmed to be mixed Hispanic)
@reclusivesoul@monokichangf@ptriiichor Also it doesn't matter if she hasn't been to whatever the cruel prince's world equivalent to Latin America is. She is ethically and physically Hispanic so no, no other ethnicity can play her.
@justsomebss@flyhotsekzie@monokichangf@ptriiichor I explained myself under your other tweet. I don't want to get into any big drama, but a lot of people under this thread are frustrating me, as I explained to her. I will try and be less hostile.
@justsomebss@flyhotsekzie@monokichangf@ptriiichor "People have jumped to conclusions from there" sounded like you disagreed that she is Latina. Sorry if I came off harsh, I'm just really passionate about this subject and everyone else was being off-putting and xenophobic.
@tkkgoth@monokichangf@ptriiichor I think she's Hispanic-American, but that girls who are Hispanic and read the book should be able to see themselves in her on screen.
@ilovelilies13@monokichangf@ptriiichor But there's a clear difference in this conversation. Hispanic isn't a race and doesn't have a specific 'look', you are correct. But Zendaya just doesn't fit into the type of Latina that Jude is. I just don't see her playing this role (and I love Zendaya myself)
@flyhotsekzie@justsomebss@monokichangf@ptriiichor Im just frustrated cause Yall are not getting the point. Jude is the only mainstream booktok Hispanic representation we have. I dont want to lose that personally
@reclusivesoul@monokichangf@ptriiichor Zendaya isn't Hispanic at all though therefore she isn't a good fit to play Jude. Yall want her in that role so bad you're willing to take away Hispanic rep.
@Girl_032020@monokichangf@ptriiichor Zendaya is not one of them. There is also no evidence pointing to Jude being a Afro Latina (coming from one herself)
@HudsonWilliamsb@monokichangf@ptriiichor It doesn't... matter? If Holly herself said Jude is Latina let's stay true to that. She is the ONLY popular Latina fmc in the book community especially in fantasy we cannot take that away.
