Although very little has been said about Yalitza Aparicio, the Mexican actress who rose to fame for her participation in the film Rome and that it cost her to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress in 2019, she is recognized for being a worthy representative of Mexico and having earned a lot in such a short time within the film industry.
Despite the fact that she has not played another role that has given her the fame that her participation in the Alfonso Cuarón film gave her, the native of Oaxaca de Juárez, Mexico, has taken advantage of her success and popularity on social networks to show how proud she is. she is about to be Mexican and how beautiful her Oaxacan culture is.
However, on more than one occasion, she has stated that she has faced endless situations of racism and discrimination for having a brown complexion, which is why, recently, she was denounced by users on social networks, who attacked her for excessive filters on a TikTok video where she can be seen with lighter skin, calling her ironic, since she says she is proud of the color of her skin and her indigenous features.
The recording for which she was highly criticized was shared on her profile @yalitza.aparicio.mtzwhere you can see the Mexican actress read a text and sing to the rhythm of the chorus of the famous song I did not go by Pedro Fernandez. However, the complexion of her face is lighter than normal.
@yalitza.aparicio.mtz I did not go 🥰
‘I thought she was brown, I don’t think I knew her well, she’s white’; ‘Yalitza, you have a beautiful color, you don’t need these filters, your beauty is natural’.

Yalitza Aparicio’s publication soon went viral and was filled with various comments, where, between jokes and positive comments about how funny she looked in her parody, users expressed their disgust, asking that she not use so many filters, since that only stains her image of a woman proud of her brown skin and indigenous features.
