Vogue : Lupita is the new Audrey Hepburn.

They are overhyping her, this might be intentional on the industry's part (trying to create a backlash).

I found it interesting how tumblr has embraced Lupita's "no matter where you're from, your dreams are valid" speech while ignoring the fact Lupita comes from an incredibly wealthy family (one of the richest and most powerful in all of Africa) and got the part because she went to YALE. It's not like most little girls from Africa will have access to those kinds of opportunities, and just shows you how much privilege you have to have been born with for Hollywood to accept you into its fairy tale narrative if you are indeed a black girl from Africa.
