I remember MadTV had an extremely mean sketch about Christina Aguilera Going onstage saying "I'm a proud Latina and Spanish was my mother tongue" and then singing new lyrics to "What a Girl Wants" that go "Buenos dias, me llamo Christina, cómo estás"https://twitter.com/MaraWilson/status/1362836730458464257 …

I'm sure MadTV didn't bother to put that much thought into it. Pick some other act though and it gets a laugh from me Bob's Burgers did a similar joke but the joke wasn't "reaching a Latinx audience" it was "Tina Belcher trying to pretend the lyrics are something else"

Yeah I mean - the reason they picked her is that she's a very obvious example of someone with a Spanish name who is nonetheless for most practical purposes a "white girl" Which is a real, fraught issue that trips up Americans because of how we think of race
