You have to assemble a diverse gathering to peacefully protest against the tv station not having a diverse cast. You may have to start with American roles like Zoe Saldana did. The American Blacks came up with our own versiob of The Wizard of Oz when we weren't represented in the other version of The Wizard of Oz. Im here to support and help however i can

As an African-American, I can say that y'all are giving American tv waaay too much credit. There is a reason BET and TV One exist. We are underrepresented in the media as well. You should absolutely continue to write Univision and Telemundo but I'd also look into starting a television station that truly reflects the diversity of Latin America.

I completely get you with the "don't look Hispanic" part. I have blonde hair, blue eyes and white skin. It's completely an American fetish towards big butt tan black haired Latinas. I'm Colombian and there are so many Afro-Latinos there that I had never seen in Colombian media and it surprised me so much. I don't know about Honduras, but in Colombia black people are considered very upbeat, positive, lovable and good dancers, but also low class. It's a system that is not addressed at all in Latino culture and America is blind towards it. The discrimination is subtle but very strong.

@gabrieldelarosa148510 жыл бұрын
Well Hispanic and Latino are pan ethnic labels used for commercialism. Majority of telenovelas are made in Mexico for Univision so they are targeting a specific Mexican audience. Dominicans and Puerto Ricans are Caribbean or Caribenos so they are different from Mexicans and Honduras is part of Central America. While Hispanic and Latino are generic labels to group masses the one thing that is almost impossible to do is please everyone. It won't happen because every country has different accents when they speak Spanish and our culture and mannerism and even slang words can be very different. Like a Charro in Mexico is a Mexican Cowboy but in Puerto Rico it is a bad word. Puerto Ricans speak fast Spanish and Mexicans speak a slower Spanish. If you have a tv Network then you will have one audience who is your core demographic and the rest may not like it but no network would be stupid to abandon its core audience because if it did it would go out of business or competitors would just move in and take their audience. Their really is no such thing as Hispanic or Latin tv because these are pan ethnic labels. Networks again have the key demographic they are targeting. You do have though specialized or localized tv that also targets key demographics and this is something that will occur more and more in the future. Example Puerto Rican tv is Wapa TV or Wapa America Dominican TV targets the Dominican audience Estrella tv also targets Mexicans in West Coast Peruvian tv targets Peruvian. Mundo Fox targets Colombians Most of its Novelas are from Colombia.
@gabrieldelarosa148510 жыл бұрын
Telenovelas are produced in Mexico by Televisa so of course the majority of actors and actresses are Mexican because Mexicans were the first to produce telenovelas and they are the most popular. Televisa does however invite other actors from other countries to be in Telenovelas like Cuban William Levy and Livia Brito many others. However, it is hard because Caribbean people have different accents that are hard to understand and is very different from the Mexican accent. Univision/Televisa tries to make them speak a in a nuetral accent. Hispanic and Latino are pan-ethnic terms used for commercialism. If you are going to use regional terms then Puerto ricans and Dominicans and Cubans are Caribenos or Caribbean people. It is very rare for a Caribbean person to be a top star in Mexico if they don't have the right accent and they don't look like a Super Model. Really since most of these Novelas are shot in Mexico they not even Hispanic they are Mexican and they have a Mexican flavor. Just like in Colombia when they shoot a Colombian telenovela they have a Colombian flavor with Colombian accent.
@gabrieldelarosa148510 жыл бұрын
Well the majority of telenovelas are shot in Mexico so of course it is mostly Mexicans. That is where the telenovela industry is based. Mexico City is called the Latin Hollywood. Mexico were the first to develop Movies and Telenovelas and this is why a lot of actors from other countries go to Mexico to star or be in Telenovelas or Movies. Cuba, Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic don't really have telenovelas. the 2nd biggest Telenovela market is Colombia and they started to produce telenovelas in 1959. However, most of the top actors and actress go to Mexico because they want an international market. Starting around 1990, Televisa found an enormous market for its telenovelas in Eastern Europe, as well as in Brazil, Vietnam, and other Asian countries. For example, Verónica Castro became an international star when the novela she had starred in many years ago, Los Ricos Tambien Lloran (1979), became a huge hit in Russia. By the late 1990s, the company claimed telenovelas were Mexico's leading export product. Many consider 1958 until 2004 to be Televisa's Golden Age of telenovelas. The most important Telenovela award shows are the Mexican TVyNovelas Award, hosted by the Televisa TVyNovelas magazine, and the one presented by Contigo in Brazil. TVyNovelas also has editions in Colombia, Chile, Puerto Rico, United States and Contigo has an edition in Chile. In 2008, The International Emmy Awards created a category for best Telenovelas. source Telenovelas Mexico produced a telenovela in 1951 and so did Cuba but Cuba telenovela industry did not survive because of Political turmoil. Puerto Rico produced like 4 telenovelas in the 70's through telemundo but they were not that popular. Dominican Republic started to produce Telenovelas in 1986 through Venevision.

Recently, a producer said that the "afro-latino" fad might be ending and that it may be time to give up on this project. This video, and the amount of support it is getting, lets me know that being a latino of African descent is not a fad and that this is a subject that people will always be passionate about. Thanks for this video. It gives me more motivation to continue pitching my show.

Your video address a very important point young beautiful ladies! I am also Afro latina from Honduras and I am disgusted about the racism that exist in the Hispanic media. They forget that the Latino culture reflect a diverse racial mix, they forget about the root of their music that it originated mostly from Africa and a good part of the overall culture of Latin America is Afrocentric. The whitening of the Latinos in media is due to the huge ego and perverted vanity of sick programing that has existed for to long that the ideal beauty is European. As you pointed out even people in public who are from Latin America react as if they have never seen a black person speak Spanish, when they most probably had neighbors who were African descendents in their countries, the ignorance is laughfable! But racism is worldwide when it comes to skin color the darker the skin the less it is represented in the media. What we Afro Latinos need to do is get proactive in developing our own media, and expose ourselves and support each other more! I wrote a book that I will be rewriting but if you like you can order a copy from Amazon the title is "Patti's Compromising Positions" its my first novel about a Garifuna young woman who takes the Punta Rock music all over the world, it is a romance and adventurous story you might be interested to read it, I get comments that it should be a movie! check it out.

The issue with light versus dark is that it is not limited to the US and Latin America, but worldwide. There is discrimination within other Latino circles where fair skinned European Latinos are favored over dark brown Latinos. Blonde hair and blue eyes rule in Caucasian circles. I find no race or skin shade superior , even if blacks were the first people to walk this earth, simply because we're all created equal.

I hope you two young ladies continue to do what you're doing and fight for equality for all Afro Latinos. You are Latino and I am American, and we should proud of our respective heritages. Just remember, that regardless of where you're from, black people are everywhere in this world. Our people were not only sent to the US and latina America. You come from a strong-beautiful collective called the African diaspora. Again, be proud to be Latina, but be proud to be black as well and remember that you are apart of something so special and pure. I wish you two ladies the best of luck! Stay intelligent, beautiful and steadfast in accomplishing all of your goals. Tu hermano en Los estados unidos,Josue

Afro-Latinos stand up! Love your video and back you up 100%. However, my thing also has been what about media in the U.S.? They also never portray AfroLatinos. They represent latinos only in one way. The olive complexion with the black straight hair. If an AfroLatino actor gets a role they have to play an African American. In this way it reinforces stereotypes and the public continues to believe all Latinos look one way.

I truly agree with your opinion, they have this dude at my school and I had to tell him that I come from a very mixed family, and he denied me, he said that I was black and I said no I am not, I'm not totally black, I'm mixed with Hispanic blood and he said no your not. And this dude is mixed with black, white and Puerto Rican, and I'm like wow are you serious. So one day in Spanish class, the teacher asked me to speak Spanish and I did, and a student asked me was I part Hispanic and that was before I new I was actually part Hispanic. So thank y'all very much for the advice and keep on with the movement 👍👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

It hurts me as black Panamanian living in the US to see all of this mental suffering of people both old and young.

Hola chicas, muy interesante su proyecto y las entrevistas realizadas. En realidad han tocado un punto sensible que parece estar presente en la mayoría de los medios de comunicación. Puedo decirles que aquí en México los patrones de belleza que se observan en los medios, poco tienen que ver con la mayoría de la población, asignando a las personas que tienen màs color en la piel, comúnmente a papeles o roles secundarios, como empleadas domésticas, valet parking u obreros por decir algunos. Por lo que la respuesta que les dieron acerca de que las telenovelas hechas en México son las que no incluyen personas de un color de piel más obscuro, es cierto. Muy interesantes sus opiniones y las de sus entrevistados, muchas felicidades. Sólo trabajando de manera gradual puede crearse una cultura de la inclusión.

Espanol Guerra No I was just confused, because when you said "commonwealth of Puerto Rico" I thought you meant Puerto Rico had a Common wealth". So I was just confused. Anyways, Telemundo is owned by white americans, so why don't they have much diversity on the channel. That's because they know they can get away with it. Most latinos are brain washed into thinking it's okay and that White is superior. If they could do the same they would on American channels too. But it starts with people like these Latinas on this channel, people have to speak up and demand actions. Lol but in my opinion telemundo sucks, I hate Spanish television. XD

Daneris Pacifico Well the word Latina and Hispanic itself would be White supremacist terms because they are European so using such terminology itself would be supporting White Supremacy. Latin comes from Italy or from Latium and Hispanic comes from Hispania which is Espana. It is obvious. These girls first need to learn history and where they come from. Once the do that then they will figure out the truth. Hopefully in the 21st century the words Hispanic and Laitno/a are phased out and never used again.

I think we need to face who we are, where we come, be proud of our language, how curly hair, or Indian, or African, agent, and Europe and backgrounds because that's our roots. After all race is social not biological if your afro-cuban at the Mexican at anything just be proud and embrace who you are as a person I know it. I know its very hard in these times that one seems to want claim only the European or Indian side of background but as you can see from the store to grab these postings we're Africans Indian European Asian the whole s*** pain and just be who we are if we can just do that can't we all get along. That's my own personal experience in opinion and I just try so hard to just be me and be kind to everyone that's in my circle that's in my world and if they don't like me because I am a Mexican so be it I know one lady in my building an African American lady she told me that you could be called the end of the world here just told you know what that means that said why do you call yourself to inward and she couldn't you couldn't tell me.
