From NPR Music, this is Alt Latino. I'm Felix Contreras.

And I'm Anna Maria Sayer. Let the Chisme begin.

And Felix...

Oh my God. Here we go.

There has been a lot of Chisbe this week.

Have you been seeing the conversation around Selena Gomez?

Like third hand.

Selena Gomez shared a video on Instagram of her

crying, talking about deportations and basically saying that her people are being attacked. This has been a

huge conversation, I think, within like the Latino media space. But not for the reasons that you expect.

A lot of what I've been seeing is people voicing concerns about it being insensitive,

her speaking from a position as a third generation Mexican American saying,

this isn't the issue for her to be talking on, that she needs to sit back for this one

and let people who have lived experiences being fearful of deportation

or how have had family members who have been fearful of that.

So that's kind of been the online discourse.

I don't have a problem with whether or not she is a recent immigrant or a third generation.

The experiences of the recently arrived can be felt by people even outside of the community.

Both good things and bad. Okay? That is just a natural reaction and she felt like she had a platform.

But I honestly think that when someone like that has a reaction, it is a reaction as just a human.

I hear what you're saying.

We love empathy.
