Hilaria Baldwin's accent causes stir on Twitter

Many Twitter users were confused to see Hilaria Baldwin trending on Twitter earlier this week. The 36-year-old, who is a yoga instructor and an author, caught people’s attention after she made an appearance in one of the cooking segments of the Today show. Fans were so confused by her accent and by the way she pronounced the word ‘cucumber’ that they immediately began talking about it on Twitter.

A Twitter user named Aura Bogado bashed the celebrity wife for faking an accent. In a tweet Bogado said, “White women take up an incredible amount of space in society. That includes cultural space. By claiming to be Latina when she knew all along that she was, as she just acknowledged, "a white girl," Hilaria Baldwin took up space by making actual Latinas invisible.” An infuriated Bogado then went on to upload a series of tweets bashing the celebrity wife for making real Latino and Spanish woman disappear from the social fabric of the American society, claiming that by faking an accent she was offending Spanish immigrant women. Here are the tweets.
