Gina Rodriguez breaks down crying over accusations she's anti-black

The Jane the Virgin star responded this morning on SiriusXM's Sway in the Morning to accusations that she was making anti-black comments to the press in recent months, including comments about black actresses earning more than Latina actresses. She also received backlash for comments about Black Panther. “What I was saying, was that when we talk about equal pay, we have to talk about intersectionality because we all must rise,” Rodriguez said this morning. “And so the backlash was devastating to say the least because the black community was the only community I looked towards growing up. We didn’t have many Latino shows and the black community made me feel like I was seen. So to get anti-black is to say I’m anti-family.”
