Mariana Atencio planned to 'represent our people' with her outfit at the White House Correspondents Dinner. However, a higher-up told her not to look 'too Latina.'
An MSNBC correspondent claims that a higher-up discouraged her from looking"too Latina" while attending the White House Correspondents Dinner in 2017 and that she should, instead, dress like Ivanka Trump.
Atencio planned to"represent our people, proud of having a seat at the table, literally and figuratively" by wearing a dress that featured the colors of many Latin American nations' flags: yellow, blue, and red. "'Why don't you go to Saks Fifth Avenue and have someone help you out,’" Atencio recalled the manager saying."'Have them pick out something demure. Not too colorful or tight. Think Ivanka Trump, okay?'""Can you imagine someone in your field asking you to please not look so African American? Or Asian? Or white? Don't look so Muslim or Christian?" Atencio wrote.
