Anetra's ethnicity are Filipino, Puerto Rican, Japanese & German. Anetra once talked about her Asian identity in an interview with JoySauce.

“As I lean into my Asianness in my drag, I find so much power in it. When I present the woman I am presenting in drag, I present something that I would love to see for myself and also my younger self. When I bring touches of Asianness when I do drag, I think about how growing up I didn’t have a queer icon that was somebody that looked like me. That is a huge thing for me", she shares.
