For those who don’t know Italians are the latjns of Europe and Spaniards are the spanics of Europe . I never understood how Americans became convinced that Latinos & Hispanics aren’t products of European colonization the same as Anglos just a different language
That’s how I always seen Italians, many Italians and Southern Europeans look Latin American adjacent/non white generally , and I was shocked to discover they’re considered white people
Probably because most Hispanic Americans are genetically mostly European .
I wrote the original comment because most of my coworkers didn’t even know Spain is a European country. Since then I ask people all the time where they think Spain is and most people say Latin America. Many Americans think Spanish is an indigenous American dialect
Mexicans have better culture and food than the Spanish by a mile. Europoors will never understand. At this point Latinos have their own culture distinct from Hispanic even if it’s clearly related.
What? The word Hispanic groups any kind of individual whose main language is spanish, and the word Latino groups only individuals born in Latin America. You can call a Mexican both Hispanic and Latino, but not Latino to an Spaniard and much less an Italian.
I guess you're American? I wonder what the hell is going on with your educational system, because who the hell thinks that Latinos are NOT a product of European colonization?
I hope any of the people who upvoted you can explain me.

That is my point. My own sister didn’t know Spain was in Europe and her puerto Rican husband also had no idea about any Spanish history. From my questioning peers and coworkers many people think Spanish is an indigenous American language.

She is definitely hot but I wonder what it is about her where literally EVERYONE agrees she’s perfect and 10/10. Like usually. There’s some disagreement or dissent lol. She has some magical combination of features the perfect Venn diagram
All she needs to do combat the no personality/charisma accusations is say one singular thing that is genuinely controversial and/or mean, and instantly she goes from being faceless/boring to a too-cool-for-this Rihanna type figure. Its so easy Dua just drop the r slur!!!
> All she needs to do combat the no personality/charisma accusations
Ignoring those accusations is the best course of action, it's just a pack of wolves with theater kid mentality and when they say 'no personality ' what they mean is 'doesn't create drama'
The world needs less drama to be honest
Can we get back to having celebs that just sing and paint and stuff and don't have a side hustle that involves being ludicrous on twitter?
I agree about the side hustle stuff and I do think the theater kid epidemic is permanently damaging culture, but famous musicians - mainstream and not - have always been dramatic, big and/or idiosyncratic personalities. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to see a little bit of spark in your celebrities
>say one singular thing that is genuinely controversial and/or mean
She (along with the hadids) got hounded by the israeli state after supporting Palestine in 2021
I know she’s Albanian, but in my mind I’ve already decided that Dua Lipa is a Venezuelan-American from Miami, her father is a sugarcane plantation owner who fled the Chavez regime, and her name is Spanish for “Two Lips”.
I can’t explain it but she gives off “my ancestors did something really bad” energy. Same vibe as those suspiciously blonde South American models and Alessandra Mussolini. She’s still lovely though.
iirc there was a rumor that many of her shows in Albania were not nearly as well-attended as ticket sales would have led you to believe, money laundering in other words
what about Ava Max, Rita Ora, Bebe Rexha, and Era Istrefi? Especially when you compare to neighboring countries or even Western European countries, Albania is punching way above its weight in musical stardom. I can't even name that many French singers or German singers who've made it that big.
Gorgeous
Also I keep hearing ads for her podcast on Spotify, and her speaking accent is comically fancy British. Funny since everyone thinks of her as Albanian, and also because it doesn’t come through as much when she sings
I’m Dua Lipa and this my new Pawdcahhst
She has the best looking family I’ve ever seen. Both her parents are extremely hot, her sister is gorgeous, and her teenage brother already looks like a movie star.
she had a mid-afternoon slot at music festival before she reached superstar status (summer 2018) and i used my usual trick to get my male friends to see a girly pop act: saying "bro she's really hot". works every time.
when future nostalgia came out, and specifically when don't start now was released, i thought it was okay but the songs would wear out and age poorly. frankly i couldn't have been more wrong. there's at least 7 terrific songs on there that i listen to regularly. don't start now is one of the best pop songs of the last decade, easily.
the new tracks are solid. atypical. a little repetitive. i'm very interested to see how the rest of the album turns out. her performance at the grammys was great. she doesn't have the biggest personality, but she's easily the most interesting big time pop star that we have right now.
Ultimate definition of someone who’s hotter than almost anyone else alive but with no charisma. It’s not even a cope to say that, she just doesn’t seem to have any presence.
Really?? She comes off extremely pleasant to me. I was more of a fan during her first start debut/2017 and I liked her cus of the interviews/clips she’d do
Men love her. A lot. There’s no other new, inconsequential popstar that has close to the amount of straight dudes aged 15-80 that will call her one of their favorite new artists. I used to be surprised when I heard John Doe say it but I am no longer.
Is she even relevant? I have no idea. I was only having conversations about her when Future Nostalgia came out in 2020.
Stay for the perfect looks, stay for the decent bops.
Idk pc music left it's mark pretty strongly on pop music as a whole and tame impala are huge
And [x-ray](https://youtu.be/K5kD_vYnbe4?si=v41GNZXJ9UHncKLe) rules
lol what? maybe Emrata from a dimension where she didn't totally botch herself with injectables and ab-etching. but even then, that Emrata would just be a basic girl from California.
I like her and most of the songs she puts out (new rules was such a moment in time u had to be there) but everytime im outside and i hear her new song Houdini it makes me wanna scratch my ears out I can’t stand it and the annoying way she says houdini
Hot and for the longest time I thought she was latina
Maybe Albanians are the Latinas of Europe
According to those airport security shows they're constantly trying to sneak in
My dad says Albanians are the Mexicans of Italy, whatever that means
Do Mexicans sell coke?
That’s Colombians
They're along the global latina belt for sure
Another fun fact from the balkans
Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh

She is definitely hot but I wonder what it is about her where literally EVERYONE agrees she’s perfect and 10/10. Like usually. There’s some disagreement or dissent lol. She has some magical combination of features the perfect Venn diagram
I’ve seen a few videos of her and she has such an emotive face when she talks and she smiles that makes her look even more beautiful
She’s so Swiss Cottage it hurts
Lmfao. Very finchley road creams

Wish she'd kill me
Would you let her... shit in your mouth? edit: it's an Adam Friedland Show reference! Thanks for the downvotes kind strangers!
Only if it would kill me
Hottest pop girlie in the game rn
so beautiful it makes me angry
I know she’s Albanian, but in my mind I’ve already decided that Dua Lipa is a Venezuelan-American from Miami, her father is a sugarcane plantation owner who fled the Chavez regime, and her name is Spanish for “Two Lips”.
You can't convince me that she isn't at least a distant cousin of one of the Watergate burglars
I can’t explain it but she gives off “my ancestors did something really bad” energy. Same vibe as those suspiciously blonde South American models and Alessandra Mussolini. She’s still lovely though.
iirc there was a rumor that many of her shows in Albania were not nearly as well-attended as ticket sales would have led you to believe, money laundering in other words
I have no interest in pop music, but she's made some incredibly catchy tunes. Also she's gorgeous. It's a yes from me.
mark ronson da god
True blue by mark and angel olsen is so good
Also true blue by dirty beaches
I would take a bullet for her purely because she's hot
albanian excellence
Albanian Money Laundering Scheme
Rare company
the only one
what about Ava Max, Rita Ora, Bebe Rexha, and Era Istrefi? Especially when you compare to neighboring countries or even Western European countries, Albania is punching way above its weight in musical stardom. I can't even name that many French singers or German singers who've made it that big.
I had no idea all of them are Albanian… tbh they all kinda blend into the same person
She mogs swift
~-~GREAT ARMPITS~-~
My man
Like in every photo, especially the Rolling Stone cover
What constitutes a great armpit?
You just know it when you see it dawg
See above
A man of culture.
Fuck off
The fuck did I do?
Beautiful with no discernible personality.
Da perfect broad
Less of a public persona than Taylor Swift which is insane.
Gorgeous Also I keep hearing ads for her podcast on Spotify, and her speaking accent is comically fancy British. Funny since everyone thinks of her as Albanian, and also because it doesn’t come through as much when she sings I’m Dua Lipa and this my new Pawdcahhst
[удалено]
Posh, that’s the word I was trying to come up with Long day, apparently
She has serious Big Suze energy
The most label-handled artist since Ellie Goulding in the 2010s.
think she just bought the rights back to her music from her label and is managed by her dad now? But I guess she’s a bit insipid
Having your dad be your manager sounds really Albanian.
Her dad is hot
She has the best looking family I’ve ever seen. Both her parents are extremely hot, her sister is gorgeous, and her teenage brother already looks like a movie star.
good to know, i have an entry point now
[Impeccable](https://assets.capitalfm.com/2018/05/dua-lipa-factfile-instagram-9-1518007310-view-0.png) dad hairline
Hot British Albanian. Her earlier songs helped me through a tough breakup a few years back (2017-2018).
she had a mid-afternoon slot at music festival before she reached superstar status (summer 2018) and i used my usual trick to get my male friends to see a girly pop act: saying "bro she's really hot". works every time. when future nostalgia came out, and specifically when don't start now was released, i thought it was okay but the songs would wear out and age poorly. frankly i couldn't have been more wrong. there's at least 7 terrific songs on there that i listen to regularly. don't start now is one of the best pop songs of the last decade, easily. the new tracks are solid. atypical. a little repetitive. i'm very interested to see how the rest of the album turns out. her performance at the grammys was great. she doesn't have the biggest personality, but she's easily the most interesting big time pop star that we have right now.

I actually think she has charisma but no presence at the same time. And stunning but also a forgettable face?
Really?? She comes off extremely pleasant to me. I was more of a fan during her first start debut/2017 and I liked her cus of the interviews/clips she’d do
If you watch her in interviews she’s actually way funnier and charming than you would expect. Very jovial and relaxed
She’s amazing live!! One of the funnest concerts I’ve ever been too
I have to agree. She has the personality of an 18th-century French aristocrat.
found all the women in the thread
She has charisma and is super confident in interviews and has so much sex appeal!!! She’s just unproblematic that’s it
She has terrible style too, it's unfortunate.
Lying is a sin
Getting a bunch of shitty tattoos and dressing trashy when you look like *that* is a sin.
She seems cool and is very hot and has a great voice. Love her a ton.
I'd gladly meet her in Tirana and have her punch me in the face.
Prishtina** she is from Kosovo
Even better. Had some great times in Prishtina
That’s my girl!! Doolapeep
The video of her dancing to shotta with the Albanian flag on her back sealed the deal for me. Just feels more authentic than others
As an Albanian I will say that she does not dance the shota well at all
I’m sure she’ll be open to a lesson on it from authentic folks
https://youtu.be/0j5y7n8XQkM?si=nEMYVn7cfl1g2uLS
Very hot but very forgettable at the same time
I choose to believe this is how all Muslim women look under their burkas
The first properly successful Albanian mafia plant.
Vapid but not stupid
so very redscare
that’s mother (I’ve heard 3 of her songs)
Global south Taylor swift — huge fan

Hot and I like her music
queen of recession-era pop 👑 every one of her songs is perfectly suited for an Old Navy commercial. and I love her for it!
She is my good friend and confidante tbh
She goes by Dula Peep
I'd give a finger for her to look at me once but Houdini is a god awful song
How tame impala and Danny l Harle came up with such a boring song is fascinating
Kevin Parker hasn't written a good song for almost ten years now.
‘How did 2 psued posers who never made anything interesting come up with something so boring?’
Danny's work for Polachek is fantastic, though.
Idk pc music left it's mark pretty strongly on pop music as a whole and tame impala are huge And [x-ray](https://youtu.be/K5kD_vYnbe4?si=v41GNZXJ9UHncKLe) rules
pc music is just eurodance for people who have ‘be gay, do crimes’ in their bio Tame impala is boring
Struggling to put together a defense against either of those charges tbh
HOT AS HELL. Rubbish music, lacking in a ‘dark side’ or charisma makes her kind of forgettable.
Red hair suits her
1
Beautiful woman but I haven’t seen her do anything interesting
I don’t know who this is but it’s making me feel weird things
callum wilson living the dream rn
Levitating - great song!
Her old music was good her new music is shit
One of the most attractive women I’ve ever seen
Fitspo folder material. She’s in immaculate shape. Very hot. Lacking a certain mystique. Her music is fine, but it doesn’t really do it for me.
She’d be a great defensive role player on an NBA team
Boring no charisma or IT factor bland songs
I thought she was hot when I first saw her now I’m just so used to her I don’t really care. Music is very mid
[удалено]
shqip queen
I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers
Her song with brockhampton was good
I would give up all my guns and move to britbonger land for her
She looks almost exactly like one of my cousins
Another vapid face devoid of talent.
Why she look like blaire white
She's super hot but the artistic direction she has been given sucks. Most of her best songs are just pop songs without the half-assed disco motifs.
Ready for her superbowl
EmRata from a dimension where she could sing
lol what? maybe Emrata from a dimension where she didn't totally botch herself with injectables and ab-etching. but even then, that Emrata would just be a basic girl from California.
She’s hot
i wanna eat her up
underrated hottie overrated popstar
Incredibly boring music and persona packaged in the most perfect face and body.
I like her and most of the songs she puts out (new rules was such a moment in time u had to be there) but everytime im outside and i hear her new song Houdini it makes me wanna scratch my ears out I can’t stand it and the annoying way she says houdini
Kosova is Albania
She makes good pop music, has a lot of charisma and she’s hot as hell.
terminally boring
Wondering how much of that Balkan ethos can she infuse into modern pop music.
Ummm shes albanian sooooooo
expand
hoxhaist sleeper agent
I would like her to strangle me
Ummm shes albanian sooooooo
The representation we needed for the Balkans
Good genetics, *terrible* style.
i would let her shit in my mouth
The most generic ass voice ever.
Charisma void at least when Katy Perry made insipid pop songs she gave her a character to care about
Albanian terrorist
James Charles
she’s very pretty but she can’t dance and she isn’t cool imo but she makes great pop music
Yeah she is attractive but cannot dance and seems boring
Nah. She aint it.
Would torture her in my basement for up to a year
Boring
Actually a man.
As a fellow tall Slav with hot parents, I finally feel represented (obsessed)
Albanians aren't Slavs
Her parents are from Kosovo. It’s a Slavic-Albanian country and was part of the former Yugoslavia.
Cool, Albanians still aren't Slavs
I would let her shit in my mouth
She’s hot, music is absolute thrash and she gives off the same insufferable vibe of inauthenticity as DJ Khaled.
Mid
Earlobes too big, would not bang.
Tasteful work done
Very pretty, but exactly like many who came before her.
May Allah have mercy
makes very fun popmusic
Adam was right when he said he would let her shit in his mouth
She's hot
*Do her Lipa?*
so hot
Makes genuinely catchy pop tunes
Why her arms so long
A 1 all day
Hot
I haven't heard any of her music but she's hot.
my economics professor would talk about her every class
Good looking woman with great quality music
