It's easy to find representation for women, blacks, black women, lgbt representatives, but I can't remember the last time I saw an ad or television or movie role catering to hispanics or latino's. Certainly never, ever a Puerto Rican or anything like that.

I can think of a few actors with mixed race backgrounds, but their latino Heritage was essentially ignored.


What gives? Latino's make up nearly 18% of the US population, easily comparable to the black community, yet they get nowhere close to the same attention?

There was a Latino in breaking bad who worked for the dea

They are, but they're also gaining more ground as time goes on.

"Windows of the World" is a movie that's targeted at the Latino audience, but covid19 screwed it up, like it did many films.

Definitely. There are none on TV in the UK. Absolute disgrace, frankly

We don't really have a strong Latin community in the UK. The closest we get is when some Spanish Backpackers decide to spend their breaks over here. There are a lot of Italian descended families here though, particularly in Wales, they don't really get much representation on television, with the exception of fvcking Beppe di Marco in Eastenders that is.

It's funny how on Quora any time someone brings up Hispanic/Latino representation, someone inevitably points out all the actors with a hispanic background.

Of course, they miss the point that the fact someone needs to point this out IS the point, but I digress..


Do you think these commentators are arguing in good faith, or am I seeing Hollywood PR spin? I bet its spin, because what normal person takes an interest in arguing something like this?

Enzo Maccarinelli, Joe Calzaghe are the Welsh Italians I've heard of Sam.

Yeah there are some communities dotted around Wales and a fair number of gelato places too. The Italian and Welsh languages have a lot of similarities so I've been told.

Pretty much all races that aren't black or white are underrepresented in America.

Latinos and Asians are gaining some ground- though Asian actors are suffering from Hollywood's pander-boner for China. We're still mostly seeing Chinese actors for lead/supporting leads and not Chinse-American actors.

Asians are less so, if you factor in they're less than 6% of the population.


Speaking of though, am happy they're apparently making a third season of Warrior. HBO picked it up. So production value will also likely go up as well.

Are Italian-Brits portrayed on TV the same way Italian-Americans often are?

Nah. The only Italian crime family here was Camorra, oddly, in Aberdeen. So there's not much of that stereotype to work from.

As an amateur, I was always fighting Welsh Italians. Which is actually a hard combination as the Welsh and the Italians both love a tear up as much as my Londoner/Irish Gypsy blood does.

Brits make the best Americans, e.g. Rick Grimes.

Did you smoke a fair whack of pot at the time? Kitchens also always seem full of pot and coke heads etc.

My ex-brother-in-law was a chef, a good one too. But he loved coke, he loved coke so much it ruined the marriage.

He's now a restaurant owner (daddy bought him one), I assume he probably still loves coke.

Damn, robtard with the stories

Coke ruins many a good men.



The kidney stones alone... Even diet coke doesn't help with that.

Chefs generally are sexual deviants according to Bourdain's Hotel Confidential.

I can confirm that chefs most certainly are sexual deviants. Or at least the ones I raped were.

I knew a guy who was a chef and he loved coke! Must be a thing.
