Olivia Rodrigo knows the impact she has on fans of color, revealing in a new Q&A that she herself once believed only white girls could be recognized as true pop stars.

When "Saturday Night Live" star Bowen Yang asked the "Brutal" singer how her Filipino American background factors into how she approaches her career, she said it's "something incredible to think about."
"I sometimes get DMs from little girls being like, 'I've never seen someone who looked like me in your position.' And I'm literally going to cry, like, just thinking about it," Rodrigo, 18, said in the V Magazine feature.

"I feel like I grew up never seeing that. Also, it was always like, 'Pop star,' that's a white girl."
These days, however, Rodrigo is grateful that the music biz no longer forces artists to be confined by certain genres at least not to the extent that she witnessed growing up.

Lol. Being 18, so growing up post 9/11, she thinks we had a problem with only white people being allowed to be musicians?

What a ****ing idiot.

Comments like that are deeply insulting when you think of people like Aretha Franklin, Nina Simone, Gladys Knight, and on and on. I guess there haven't been many Filipino women singers popular in the US? K?

Oh, I love the comments about how things are different now than when she grew up and now she is all of 18.

They want to be victims so they portray themselves as victims.

And quite frankly it's getting a little damn old. You see commercials saying I didn't know I could be this. Bringing race into banking, race into movies, music you name it, we are victims and poor me, poor me, poor me.

You see people like Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez being billionaires and millionaires but yes poor them.

They have the same rights as any other American to be successful. And the poor women thing? Give me a break.

Apparently she's so young she doesn't remember back to the Supremes, Brandy, Aaliyah, Janet Jackson, Lil Kim, missy Elliot, Lauren Hill, you name it it goes on and on. They act like black or Hispanic women have never been popular.
Currently a happy listless vessel and deplorable. #FDEMS TRUMP 2024.

Hate to quote Bill Maher but he's right when he calls out these sort of young dumb leftists and reminds them:

Gladys Knight, Gloria Gaynor, Dionne Warwick, Nina Simone, Ronnie Specter(The Ronnets for the win), Dianna Ross, Whitney Houston AND Aretha Franklin.

Many more. Question is how totally ignorant can some people be. Still listen to Be My Baby while doing my daily walk/old man jog.

This generation should be labeled as Generation D for Delusional. They are filled with so much misinformation that is presented as fact and reinforced because it gets retweeted. The old saying about if you say it enough you will eventually believe it.

I think you could litterally name HUNDREDS of pop stars that are not white females. But that's not a headline that sells.

Its called psychosis. It's a place where most liberals live. That's not a joke.

If we are talking about teen pop stars, I guess white girls have traditionally won the prize of being hoored out for $ and losing all of their innocence before their 18th birthday.
