Jenna Ortega is opening up about feeling just not good enough to represent her Latinx community .

In case you missed it, some people online questioned the Wednesday stars heritage last September after the California-born actors lack of Spanish fluency was thrust into the spotlight.

The discourse stemmed from a viral clip at a fashion show in Paris, in which actor Anya Taylor-Joy , who grew up in Buenos Aires, was seen introducing her husband in Spanish to Spanish pop star Rosala and to Ortega, who is of Mexican and Puerto Rican descent.

Ortega replied to the greeting in English at the time, prompting social media users to accuse her of being a fake Latina .

In an interview with Vanity Fair published Tuesday, the Netflix star said she feels a bit of shame over not being as in touch with her roots as she would like to be.

I think theres a part of me that carries a bit of shame. For a second I was almost nervous to speak about my familys background because I feel like I was made to feel like it wasnt, she said before trailing off.

But also, something that Im learning is its not my job to carry the weight of everybody whos ever had that experience, Ortega continued.
