It goes way beyond this. I now understand why they are deleting any comments that point out that Alexandra Grant is not Latin American at all. Their gallery is opening this Tuesday, April 26, 2022.

They state on their website that they are about promoting and featuring "unique editions of established Latin American artists". One of the featured Latin American artists that they will be featuring at their gallery is Alexandra Grant. At this point, her art being featured for sale on their website (and likely in their gallery as well) is a done deal and something they can't back out of now.

The last thing they want is a bunch of savvy SM accounts pointing out their grave error in highlighting Alexandra Grant who has absolutely no Latin ancestry and wasn't even born in a Latin country. She was born in Ohio. Her father was Scottish. Her mother was American (white - no Latin ancestry). She spent part of her childhood in Mexico and speaks fluent Spanish, but neither one of those things would qualify her as Latin American.

Now, imagine the bad publicity this gallery would get, at their grand opening, if they were called out for allowing a white American woman to be represented as a Latin American artist in their gallery who had absolutely no claim to call themselves that. This would not only be a huge embarrassment for them but an absolutely shameful one and could hamper their success as a gallery. A potential financial fiasco. There are plenty of under-represented Latin American artists that could have, should have been showcased instead of Alexandra Grant. They should be outraged by this!!! I am outraged for them!!!

Secondly, I can't help but highlight the hypocrisy of Alexandra Grant to allow this. She goes on and on about how her LOVE message is about loving those that are different than us and how important it is to give opportunities to under-represented female identified artists from various ethnicity and she is selfishly taking one of their spots.

I find it sickening that she would not have corrected the gallery's mistake regarding her qualification for their gallery. Telling them something like 'she is flattered by their desire to included her in their gallery ,but she cannot in good conscious accept as she is NOT A LATIN AMERICAN ARTIST and would be taking the spot of someone more deserving and who is an actual representation of a Latin American artist." That is what an honourable person would do. That is what someone with integrity would do.

Her failure to make this correction only shines another light on the fact that her entire LOVE brand is a lie. She doesn't genuinely believe in it, she just wants every body else to believe it.
