Black and Latino
yesss.. omg the quotes on Hollywood are epic! Gina Torres: “The world likes their Latinas to look Italian” and poor Jessy had me dyiiinnnn “What you want me to do, you want me to salsa while I speak?… Damn, i didn’t know how to be Latino, thank you for explaining that to me” that is horribly hilarious. Hollywood treats their ethnic ppl like shit :/

I should send this to Genesys, this has double-consciousness written all over it.
even latin american media is really racist. the leads in novelas are usually never black or brown unless it’s to fetishize their exoticness.
Or how people try to lump actresses like Gina Torres and Zoe Saldana in one, single racial group (Black).
Excellent interview. WATCH
