POPSUGAR: This partnership is perfect for you. Recently you stood up to a Twitter bully who called you "not Latina enough." Why is it important to take a stand even when the bullying takes place behind a computer screen?
Gina Rodriguez: Thank you! Dealing with online bullying, or bullying in general, personally has only empowered me to use my voice even more, and while I haven't really decided what the correct way of attacking this societal problem is yet, I just know that when somebody comes at me with an untruth, I'm going to clarify the truth. What happened with that was somebody that was uninformed and miseducated on the subject, so I simply corrected them.
PS: We see this sort of bullying among Latinos often. You're a big proponent of inclusiveness in the Latin community.
GR: I speak about this often actually about how the Latino community often gets clumped into one and sadly we see so many differences amongst our own cultures. I think we need to work on creating unity amongst all the Latino cultures. I also think that saying that someone is not Latina enough is like saying they're not human enough. It's an absolutely preposterous perspective that needs to end because it's weakening us and what we need to do is strengthen and unite our community.
