After Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton’s campaign released a list aimed at impressing Hispanic voters — “7 ways Hillary Clinton is just like your abuela” – Twitter fought back, listing all the reasons she’s #NotMyAbuela.
Some criticized the list as pandering to Hispanics, while others pushed back against Clinton’s economic privileges and advantages.
Our experiences cannot be equated to those of a rich and privileged white woman. It's shameful and disrespectful to try #NotMyAbuela

My Abuela doesn't need to understand English to see right through that pathetic attempt at Latino votes. #NotMyAbuela

My Abuela came from poverty. Came to this country for the betterment of my family only to face racism and discrimination. #NotMyAbuela
