I thought her mom was an internist. |
Yep. |

Someone posted that Vanity Fair edition from Spain posted an article calling her out: www.revistavanityfair.es/sociedad/celebrities/articulos/mujer-alec-baldwin-hilaria-espanola-mentira-mallorca-boston-origenes-padres/48199/amp
Good article stating how appalling it is her faking to be Spanish. They write: Pero siempre había algo que chirriaba: incluso en 2014, en una entrevista para la edición española de Vanity Fair, esa Hilaria "se negaba a dar o confirmar ningún dato biográfico, más allá de anécdotas elegidas con cuidado" It translates to roughly: There was always something to squeak about: including in 2014, in an interview for this edition of Vanity Fair, that Hilaria, “denied to give or confirm any biographical data besides carefully chosen anecdotes.” |
Um, welcome to most Asian families. We were constantly asked if we were going to be engineers, lawyers or doctors. You don’t see us making random things up to help us cope with that pressure. That is some whitesplaining if I’ve ever heard it. |
I think they are lucky to have a choice. I don’t get to choose whether people see me as a POC. Sometimes that is all they see, not that I am an accomplished attorney who graduated from some of the best schools in the country. |

Okay, so she was a single 24-25 year old. She was still privileged and still chose to live a lie. |
The Black and Hispanic women on Lipstick Alley are all saying the same thing. Hillary did this because being a POC (fake or otherwise) is 'in'. Their words. https://www.lipstickalley.com/threads/hilaria-baldwin-lying-about-being-spanish-meet-hillary.4239228/ |
PP here. Spouse and I are black, actually. Don't get me wrong, I'm not giving her a pass--I think it's definitely a sign of white privilege that instead of just expressing appreciation for a culture, the Rachel Dolezals, Hilaria Baldwins, and Jessica Krugs of the world actually "pretend to be" what they're interested in. I think you add some parental pressure to the mix and voila, you've got a decade of a false persona. |
But, she was a young 24-25 when this identity probably originated. This is what our culture does: we infantilize white women as little damsels in distress who cannot possibly be responsible for their own actions because they are “nice girls.” When is the last time you heard a controversial black woman being excused because she is a “nice girl?” |
I'm Indian. A lot of Indian and Chinese lie about coming from nothing and exploit affirmative action programs when they're actually high-caste and grew up with a house of 'staff' they treated like slaves. |
They are all profiting off of cultural appropriation, big time. Kimberly Kardashian claims her spice is due to her Armenian roots, really girl? Really? What if all those women kept their original skin color, original body parts, original voices, etc. would there be profit in that? Nope |
Are they pretending not to be Indian or Chinese? |
If you want to start a topic on the Kardashian family, feel free. This thread is about Hilaria Baldwin pretending to be a Spanish person. |
I don’t want to explain this again so please read it carefully: I am not Kim Kardashian and I get nothing but disrespect in my profession for being a woman of color. It does not benefit me and I don’t care that it benefits someone who made her name by publishing a sex tape. That’s not something that helps regular women. |
