💨 Abstract

Hilaria Baldwin, author and wife of actor Alec Baldwin, discussed the backlash she faced over her accent, which she started changing before it became a controversy in 2020 when people questioned her Spanish origins. She explained the concept of "code-switching" or adapting her accent or mannerisms to fit social norms, comparing it to speaking slowly with elderly people.
