Hillary Clinton Says She Is Basically A Hispanic Grandmother — Here Are All The People Who Disagree

Today the Clinton campaign released a list, “7 ways Hillary Clinton is just like your abuela.” Abuela, of course, being the Spanish word for “grandmother.”

Now, lists are great. Lists can help speed up the process of organizing and disseminating important information. Lists become predictably less helpful, however, when they are used to claim ownership over a specific identity that one does not hold.

Many people also saw the post as a direct attempt to pander the hispanic community, as the list was pretty much devoid of content. For instance, some of the “ways” Clinton was similar to “your Abuela” included her ability to read stories or the fact she “knows what’s best.”

People have responded with #NotMyAbuela, a trending hashtag campaign where folks are firing back, saying that Hillary Clinton is not similar to their Abuela.

So Clinton dropped out of school to help support her family by working at a candy store when her dad died? Don't think so. #NotMyAbuela

#NotMyAbuela she died while my family was in removal proceedings. We never got a chance to go to #oaxaca for the burial.

My abuelita and I divided by the border wall. Abuelitas don't militarize communities. #NotMyAbuela pic.twitter.com/nykh5At5Z3

#NotMyAbuela. Mine fought poverty for her 11 children & couldn't see half of them before she passed away because of a border.

Latinos aren't one size fits all. It takes more than a few Spanish words & cute pictures to get the Latino vote. #hillaryabuela #NotMyAbuela

The Clinton campaign has since changed the title of the list post to “7 things Hillary Clinton has in common with your abuela.”
