Rodriguez, who is Latina, has been criticized for anti-black remarks in the past.

During a Net-a-Porter hosted round-table discussion last year with actresses Emma Roberts, Ellen Pompeo, and Gabrielle Union, Rodriguez made controversial comments about equal pay.

"Where white women get paid more than black women, and black women get paid more than Asian women, Asian women get paid more than Latina women, and it's like a very scary space to step into," , prompting criticism that her statement wasn't true, and rooted in anti-black sentiment, specifically.A viral video showing how Panera's mac and cheese is made sparked disgust, but chains from Starbucks to Taco Bell use variations on the same method

Rodriguez has also been criticized for her apology, in which she claimed African heritage and said she considered herself part of the black community in many ways. "If anything, the black community is my community. When I speak about Latino advocacy, people think I'm only talking about people who are my skin color, but little do they know that I'm very aware of what my culture is,"Representatives for Rodriguez didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
