The trend first emerged under a viral TikTok sound in early October. Since then, thousands of users have made videos to show whether they are a so-called copy-paste Latina. The term was never concretely defined, but one glance at the videos makes it clear who it refers to: Those who embody characteristics the U.S. typically associates with Latina women, like silky black hair, light skin, Eurocentric features, and heavily-applied, feminine makeup. One side of the trend has framed the copy-paste Latina as an aesthetic to be coveted, even filming tutorials on how to achieve the look. Meanwhile, another seems to mock the women who adhere to it. Either way, both interpretations are incredibly destructive.
