💨 Abstract

Rachel Zegler, a Colombian-American actress, shared her experience of being questioned about her Latina heritage during the audition process for West Side Story, a 2021 remake of the classic musical. Despite securing the role after an open casting call, Zegler recounted instances where 'white executives' asked if she was 'legit', finding it surprising to have to prove her identity.
