If someone can ignore the fact that Rodrigo is half-Filipina, then they probably already have the privilege of seeing themselves successfully in the media.

with other people of color and the Black Lives Matter movement. Her outspokenness about going to the polls just might spike the civic engagement of her followers . Heck, her recent visit to the White House and talks with President Biden and Dr. Fauci about vaccines reminds us just how much she understands that she isRodrigo with President Biden at an appearance promoting COVID-19 vaccines.Sometimes, I look at photos of her and suddenly see the more “Asian” side of her.

Perhaps my obsession with Rodrigo is just a phase, but that does not negate what is an underlying truth: If someone can ignore the fact that Olivia Rodrigo is an Asian American, then they probably already have the privilege of seeing themselves successfully in the media. They do not have to reach nor grab for representation. Her identity should not matter, but it does. And that reveals how much farther we have to go.

this is Olivia compared to filo actresses and yall thinks she just white 🤡

pinoyd dominating music industry as we should

Wow the amount of people assuming shes not based on her skin tone and appearance...careful now, of you do this with her, we all know you stereotype others o.o

Apasi gjls lu, ras org aja diributin

She's not Asian

I don't see how anyone could think she's white. For me she doesn't look white at all tbf. Probably because I'm SEA myself and i can recognize when I see one? Regardless it's gr8 to see such a young Asian woman thriving in the industry. She also might have a Grammy on the way!

Why

tents for rent for haters who are camping under Olivia-related posts

I'm all asian, celebrate this as well...I contribute in world's happiness as well!! I'm not famous as her but I need celebration too whatever celebration u are talking about!🙂

finally an asian representation in the western media 😓

“where are these articles for xyz artists” there are articles on them too, look it up! “why are they only talking about her?” y’all have been adamant on proving she’s not a biracial asian woman since she debuted. her name is trending everyday bc of that ofc the media noticed

Probably has 1%

White

Why is she the only one in the World

funny how we apparently should celebrate a not even half asian girl who literally looks white, meanwhile the same industry who wants us to celebrate her is downplaying and sabotaging asian acts as we speak, white passing american privilege at its finest

i just don’t really cares about where ‘anyone’ came from,just that i adore her 💜 and her talent 💜

we love you my pinay sister 🤍

Ewww racism as its finest. Filipinos hate you. Im a filo haha

the reality is that if you are not Filipino, you cannot comment on this.

Yall dont even be celebrating asians 😕 Also HER? BRUNO SAWEETIE ? or is it bc theyre too dark skin for you 🤥

a space for everyone in the music industry!!

DailyRodrigo ONLY HATERS WILL SAY SHE'S NOT STUPID MFS

Shes not even half asian lol

where were these articles for H.E.R

But SHE doesn't want to celebrate it..... I've never once heard her speak about it.... and that interview w/ Bowen Yang is pathetic AF.

This girl is 3/8 Filipino and white passing. Pretending she is treated like other Asian American or darker skinned Filipino is harmful to poc communities. How is she discriminated against because of her race?

DailyRodrigo Hmmm I definitely don’t think this is a coincidence what’s said online is public. Everyones thoughts opinions and struggles are valid, it’s ignorant to try to box people together or say someone isn’t valid because they don’t fit the box you think they should.Mixed AA kids ftw ✊🏽

dumb people who call her full white look away, this ain't for u

jelousyliv Ikr only dumb people will worry abt her heritage as if they can change anything abt it

exactly
