    With half of the over the air channels being “Spanish” I think they are represented just fine.

    As a Mexican, this is dumb.

    Filmmakers make worlds and create characters. Not every character(story) has to have every race/ethnicity/sex. No one has to include anything they don’t want. Its just people like to be pissy and annoying because they don’t see themselves in everything.

    He joked about BCS actors being out of a job but it wouldn’t shock me if that show alone made up a large amount of the 25% hispanic actors portrayed as criminals. They showed a ton on screen and there are even more than that

    Not enough Latino representation to catch “Latinx” before it made it to air.

    Whenever Colbert brings out one of his writers to do a sketch about certain people, (I can’t think of any other examples, except I think he did one about millennia’s.) I always think it’s fake, and a bad stereotype.

    Even if this writer really is Hispanic, it still seems fake and bad.

    Now if you excuse me, I’m going to eat some tacos, and do the Macarena.

    If 25% are depicted as criminals that means 75% are not depicted as criminals

    What pisses me off more than anything else about the stupidity of racism is that there is only ONE human race. Only One. We Are All Homo Sapiens. Skin color, hair texture, bone structure? It’s ALL Homo Sapiens. Racism is active bulls#$t.

    This is like hearing a British actor complain about always playing the evil mastermind that tries to destroy the world or conquer it. You want Latino representation go watch a novela or hispanic movie
