Gina Rodriguez poked fun at the notion that she could possibly speak for or generalize the Latino audience while speaking on The Hollywood Reporter‘s Comedy Actress Roundtable. “Actually, I’ve met every single one of them, and they’re all related to me,” she joked.

The response came after THR‘s Stacey Wilson asked if Rodriguez finds her Latino audience too conservative to handle themes of virginity, Catholicism, abortion and sex on Jane the Virgin. “The Latino audience is all over the place. [It] encompasses like 50 different countries. That’s why it’s kind of hard to talk about them. I can only talk about myself.”
