She's a young millennial. Mass media has brainwashed and bullied her demo that being a beautiful white girl is 'basic' 'Becky' 'Karen' 'boring' 'dorky'. Media and society now promotes and rewards persons of color. She did it because it being a POC in 2010-2020 helped advance her life.

Oh boy our white nationalist friend is back!

As a POC I am wondering where my reward and promotion is?! The best I ever got is a law firm interviewer saying “Wow! You’re an immigrant!” and making me feel very uncomfortable and I did not get the job LOL.

What do you think of when you see a white Armenian/English/American valley girl like Kimberly Kardashian? How about look at before and after Kylie Jenner pics, Ariana Grande, Iggy Azalea, Amber Rose? They are ALL appropriating another culture, all of them.

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.

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

+1 It’s on trend to be “exotic” however soon the pendulum will sway and the opposite will become “exotic”. If this isn’t happening already.

Her agency, CAA, just removed the portion of her bio that read “Hilaria was born in Mallorca, Spain”

Where was all the DCUM outrage when Ross pretended to be British? I'm waiting.

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.

No disrespect, but you aren’t a highly visible celebrity and/or married to one. I appreciate your experiences, but this isn’t about you.

I've been following the Hilaria/Hilary story for years.

As a non-white person with an immigrant family, I don't think it's an example of "white privilege," or that she did it because it isn't "cool" to be white in 2020 (hello, she's been at this for at least a decade now), or for any serious reason other than she found out her love interest had a thing for Spanish women and maybe she's a bit emotionally odd.

It's weird. It's funny. She's a white woman who pretended to be... a white woman of a different nationality. Funny story. It got her the husband.

I hope she doesn't stress out too much over this, and people shouldn't be that outraged. It's inconsequential, an actor's wife, this affects no one's life except to give you a chuckle...

You're talking about a 36-year-old married mother of 5, not a 15-year-old girl trying to build a following on Tik Tok.

And "helped advance her life"???? She was the daughter of a lawyer and a doctor who went to NYU after graduating from a $65,000 per year high school. Stop acting like she's a victim or was looking for a way out of poverty. She's the very definition of privilege.

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?”
Althea Bernstein got away with a faux crime because she is a young just confused girl.

She's obviously problematic, but this take is also problematic.

She's a yoga teacher. Is that being a huge under-achiever? I feel like society needs to value things other than just making money. That's pretty much how we in the US measure people's worth--by how much money they make. Being a yoga teacher and opening a studio is a worthwhile occupation. Sad that she feels the need to lie.

DP. I agree it's a worthy profession, but as someone in these high-achieving circles (spouse and I are PhD/MD couple), there's a lot of pressure on the kids to have at least similar levels of achievement. I don't think it's right, but the pressure is there. I'm sure she's been asked in her younger life whether she was applying to medical or law school.

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.

Um, wrong take there. Did you miss "She's obviously problematic"?

OBVIOUSLY not justifying what she did. Just saying that saying she's "a huge underachiever" because she's a yoga teacher (and presumably because yoga teachers don't make a lot of money) is also problematic. Just like huge pressure from your family/culture to do something you might hate because it makes them look good is also problematic.

Hilaria wasn’t pretending to be a POC, she was appropriating Spanish culture. Still odd, but let’s be clear, she didn’t claim to be a POC.

Well she sorta did with her dyed black hair,, fake tan and saying she’s confused with being the nanny of her blonde kids.

This. Spain is a European country. So, someone from Connecticut maybe got caught up in Spanish culture because of family trips that eventually led to her parents moving there. And maybe it helped her as a yoga teacher or to meet celebrities to have a fake accent. Does anyone think that Madonna is British?

Did Alec know, or did she hoodwink him?

[Anonymous]

My theory:

She and Sarma Melngailis, the fraudster owner of the now-closed NYC vegan restaurant, Pure Food and Wine -- the hot restaurant they first met at -- cooked up this scheme to bag him. Alec was a regular at the restaurant, obviously the young and hip restaurant owner hears all the gossip, knows who he's dating and showing up with, and she could tip off Hillary when A-listers like Alec would be dining there. Now if you were going to tip off your ditzy yoga friend on how to impress Alec, what might you say? I bet you'd tell her about his crush on Salma Hayek and him being seen with other Latina women, I bet you'd also tell her to lean into her salsa dancing / elementary Spanish speaking background, at the very least.

I thought she was a successful yoga instructor? Owned a studio or something? Is that all a lie? I would have assumed she was making six-figures -- obviously not millions, but NYU alum in her late 20s making six-figures is hardly unimpressive.

Owned a studio? Six figures? NO. Minimum wage. Was part of an NYU program while a student, where a bunch of students led basic yoga sessions in exchange for donations to NYU? yes.

As far as people saying it is racist to note that things like quotas etc may motivate people to lie for a real-world benefit, how is it racist to note that? let's not be swinging around accusations against commenters, the issue is Hilaria decade long racist scam.

But most Spanish people aren’t POC, they are white, correct? White people can and do tan, and have black hair. That’s not really trying to be a POC. The nanny thing is just dumb.
