MAGA pundit Gina Loudon accuses “Wicked” of “racism” after falsely claiming Ariana Grande is Hispanic

MAGA media personality Gina Loudon claimed that this was the case Evil She said the film was “offensive” and “racist” towards white people after she misidentified one of its stars, pop star Ariana Grande, as “obviously” Hispanic.

Evilthe movie broke box office records,” Loudon told viewers of her show on the far-right cable channel Real America’s Voice on Tuesday, according to RawStory. “I saw it, but I was very excited by the idea of ​​seeing the interpretation of it. But I should have known it was Holly-weird.”

The recently released film adaptation of the popular Broadway musical grossed nearly $165 million at the box office in its opening weekend, according to Variety, and Grande, with dyed platinum blonde hair, plays Glinda, “the good witch.”

But Loudon dismissed the film’s success, claiming it was “woke in the way they could imagine.”

“Let’s just start with the fact that Ariana Grande, who is obviously a Hispanic woman, plays the role of a shy, blonde, white, real-life villain in this particular film,” the host said. “I honestly found the racism and racial appropriation offensive.”

She added, “Not all white people are stupid and evil,” and said she was “tired of this story.”

In fact, Grande, who is perhaps better known as a singer than an actress, has Italian ancestry in her family and is neither Latino nor Hispanic. Last year, both her brother and mother even went so far as to apply for Italian passports.

“I love Italy SO MUCH and can’t wait to delve even deeper into the culture and my heritage!! What a big moment for us,” her brother Frankie Grande wrote on Instagram at the time. “AND being able to share it with my mother… priceless.”
