Um I have heard countless people brag about ancestors coming over on the mayflower. WTF are you talking about. Are you starting a WASP Lives Matter movement? |
| Do you guys think this is an intentional PR strategy to milk this issue for everything it's worth? That would explain the daily release of new fuel to the fire. |
As opposed to the paid off NY Times article, I love this one. Chefs kiss to you New York Magazine! |
I know. But is there a Spanish significance? Does it mean something? |
No. No PR would suggest this. It's an attempt to regain control of the grift |
The ending -ito/a is added to Spanish words to mean little or as a term of affection. I think my dogs (Spanish word for dogs is perros) are adorable so I refer to them as my perritos. My sons little toy car is a carrito. So Balwinitos means little Baldwins |
“there is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft. When you kill a man, you steal a life... you steal his wife's right to a husband, rob his children of a ather. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness... there is no act more wretched than stealing.” Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner |
Ito is just a diminutive. So, gato is cat and gatito kitty. |
yep, the gravy train has ended and there's desperation. |
Thanks |
Ok, I haven’t experienced people bragging about being a pilgrim descendant like one brags and harps on being another nationality. And if they did, they would be crucified. |
No, I think they're just in panic mode. No publicist would advise any of the recent moves they've made. Remember a couple of years ago when Jennifer Lawerance was everywhere, people were getting sick of her, and she was in that horrible Darren Aronofsky movie? She quietly went away. Jlaw doing anything quietly is quite an achievement in itself, but that was definitely a PR move to keep the public from turning on her. I would advice Hilary and Alec to do the same. |
When you add “ito” or “ita” to a name, it means little. Juanita is “Little Juana” or Pepito is Little Pepe. |
Actually no. She's likely not affected about it at all. If she were, she'd not be blaming everyone and continuing to defend her authenticity. |
Yes. This is a lesson that, if you make $ from your image, you are held accountable to some basic integrity, honesty and transparency related to the way you make your money. If I make money from pretending to be vegan, people have the right to roast me for eating steak. |
