Please forgive my ignorance, but one of Rita Hayworth's parents is Spanish from Spain and the other is American of English and Irish descent. I thought Spanish people were not considered Latina?

most latinos are of european descent. she was born in puerto rico, she's latina

As the other user said, I'm talking about Rita Hayworth not Rita Moreno.

At one point in the video the woman who made this comments she is half-brazilian. As a brazilian movie-buff I felt well represented.

Also I loooooove that she starts the video by educating people about latinos vs hispanics and the controversy over latinosxlatines×latinx

I had no idea Rita Hayworth was Hispanic even though it should be obvious by her name.

tbf "Rita" isn't an obvious hispanic name the way Margarita would be

[analievelyn]
