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

DNubianAngel lets us know when you find that tv....

Scarlettpaulacanario Paula also asians blacks and white are inlatin america ,,friend

Darrell Pasion then whats asians are?

Kemiztri In America we does realize that their are dark skinned Latinos, I don't think these young women mean no one knows. I think they mean that those that run that TV channel try to represent that one physical type. Bollywood does the same thing, it's like people of color are afriad to be of color which is exactly what makes them beautiful. I personally agree with what you said but i think you starting off with a insult is what threw people off.

Kemiztri First off you ignorant moron, I get why everyone is rude to you because you are an immature fool. You haven't the capacity to even understand what I wrote. Don't tell me what I just realized about Latinos, my sister is half Mexican, my nephew's kids are more than half and their mother (now my niece) is full blooded. The US is a melting pot why can't any other country be the same way? Africa is a continent not a country you idiot and it has 53 countries in Africa with the ddition of the islands there. But yet you are trying to tell me something and you don't even know the differnce between a country and a continent. I have traveled out of the US myself but that would never occur to someone like you because you are unintelligent.

Kemiztri Is something wrong with you, seriously? What do you think I meant when I said America was a melting pot so why couldn't any other country be one. I know Latin America is a melting pot, the continenet of Africa is a melting pot. You are so stuck on stupid that you fail to even realize that you're saying the same thing I said. That's why no one likes dealing with ignorant people, everything goes right over your head. I started off trying not to offend you and then here you come with the insults and immaturity. You take something as simple as me saying I travel and turn it into something it's not. You are a waste of time. No one likes Americans? Especially Latin America right? LOL yet tons of them want to be Americans and live in America, dude whatever.

Bychance37 Don't worry about him, I managed to deleted his account however his comments are still up for some reason. I told him not to fuck with me and look what happened.

Kemiztri You thought I was bluffing when I said I'll delete your YT account? I was dead ass serious fuckboy. I'm good at what I do. All that hard work you put in uploading videos on your channel is finally gone, ha ha (Nelson Muntz voice).

I know man. They got light skin Latinos there and I wish they would mix it up.

yeah and also they alsways pick dark hispanic to play the maids or the help.

+Anna bella In "Hollywood" that would be called "good casting".

MamzelleCreole There were a lot of African that went to Mexico as slaves and all over the America and not just in the United States. If what I’ve read is correct on Google and in books,the smallest percentage of African Slavery of all the America country came to United States.

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.

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.

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.

That producer is so wrong for that. We exist, we are real and we don't just "end" or disappear. We are not a fad. We are not some short-term idea or concept or trend and we are not going anywhere. Good luck with your show!

Smh, okay, but bachata is Dominican,everybody knows that shit. lmao She's dumb af, I woulda put her on blast girl! What part of southern Cali do you live in?

ana Iglesias​ I live in Lancaster. It's like an hour away from LA.

ana Iglesias​ what part do you live in?

I live in San Diego, so 2 hours south of LA. I live like 30 minutes from the border so you can imagine the amount of Mexicans over here. Not saying its a bad thing, but a lot of them are ignorant when it comes to the fact that there are blck latinos. They swear to death that Mexican is a race. lmao

ana Iglesias yes! I always tell people it's okay to be proud of your culture but please learn the difference between ethnicity and race!

Edwin Duran When I see a Dominican who class him/her as Afro Latino, it always bring a smile to my smile. Because it so refreshing to see and its also going against the norm to identify with blackness.. xxx

***** Am Dominican, no we are not "afro" Latino, we are LATINOS, we will no gonna let Black American to Divided & Conquer us Latinos. Specially Latinos with some Afro ancestry such as Cubans, Dominican, Puerto Rican, Panamanian, Venezuelan, Colombia, Brazilian, etc etc No, we do Not identify with Whiteness or Blackness. We identify by NATIONALITY & CULTURE. The only ppl who could do this are first or 2 generation Dominicans who lost their Dominicaness and choose an Americanized "blackness" Concept of identity even though majority deep down dont feel or understand such New Identity because they cannot related to real Hispanic Dominicans & other Hispanics, therefore they always end up abandoning or just using it in the Internet & not in real everyday life. National & Cultural Identity is SUPERIOR to Racial & Color Identity, Period. We have a National/Cultural Identity while u Americans have a Racial/Color identity.

yodanyrd I didnt read your nonsense. Dont respond to my commet again..

***** If u didn't read it, how do u know it was "nonsense" ? Of course cuz u did read it and u know its fact, u cant debate against facts.

yodanyrd Because they are usually the same anti blackness nonsense, promoting of racial democracy in Latin America. Have a look a racist policy of the DR at the moment, yet people like would claim racial democracy as norm in racist countries like DR. Go check Afro Latino Forum. there are increasing niumbers of Black Latinos who are identifying as such, and there is nothing racist like you can do about that.

You have a lot of love for yourself, and your people. I appreciate that.

Angelic Phoenix Big love for u

thank you my good brotha. mino eatine

Kemberly Sutuart thank you friend.

Don't give yourselves to white men... Stick with black brothers

JorGE200989845 Paz Thank you. That means so much to us.

thank you for represent us like that I think is our time to be reconized afro - latino and afro-american

***** I'm sure they do have black Latino heroes, but the history is hidden by those wicked evilpowers/people that be!

***** what you mean their own malcom X and MLK basically your saying they can't make claim to them because there Latino? they are AFRO LATINO Not your pale skin blue eye Latino" sorry but they can make claim to malcom X or marcus garvey nat turner Dr King the list goes on they are no different than the blacks in america the difference is they speak a language that's not their own like wise the blacks in america also they were slaves and beaten rape sold likewise like the blacks in ameriKKKa.

M Franklyn was not malcom X an Afro was not Dr King an Afro was not Marcus Garvey an Afro what about Rosa parks was she an Afro the irony of you saying black latino heroes like they can't claim the names i mention' but can claim there black latino hero but the the power to be will hide there truth about their heroes more like their more afraid of awakening of the knowledge of self. yes no different than the devils that's sitting here in amerikkka on the power seat But why look for a hero when they already have many Afro Hero's to look up too our heroes are there hero's we all are of the same family Afro Tree this goes back to Trans Atlantic Slave trade where we were scattered abroad so they can make claim to our Malcom X's Dr King's the Mohammad Ali's Ect.

Angelic Phoenix Let face it, most black Americans or Americans in general think that hispanic or latino is a race, they don't even know that you can be as dark skinned as the typical African and still be Latin American. Also, they got their struggles in america, so what makes you think that they have time to care about afros in other countries.

Angelic Phoenix And just because a person is of African descent does NOT give them a "DEFAULT" or "AUTOMATIC" claim to OUR heroes either. You must swear allegiance to AND fight for the "cause". Your "African-ness" comes BEFORE ANY OTHER CLAIM...PERIOD! Code would dictate that those who do not follow this should be "removed" from OUR community. There are ONLY two races of people on planet Earth when it comes to the power dynamic of white supremacy...WHITE and "NON-white". Honestly, everything else is moot.

Most Mexicans are uneducated and racist like Jose Maria Morelos and Vicente Guerrero were Afro- Mexican these are the same man that abolish slavery in Mexico, also lead Mexico to its Independent.

GRENADABOY516 Well it was all Mexicans who abolished slavery. Jose Maria Morelos was a priest not a solider even though he was executed. Many Mexican Amerindians died to expel the Spanish and for Freedom. Just like many White American Union soldiers died to free African slaves. Vicente Guerrero was just one Mexican General. Remember it was Augustin de Iturbide who penned the Plan of Iguala which made all people equal.

Los "Afro-Latinos" no tiene cultura simplemente porque ellos no existen! Estas dos hermanas son "Afro-centristas", no "Afro-Latinos". Los LATINOS son los descendientes directos de los LATINOS de Italia y Hispania/Espana. Los LATINS fueron un tribu antigo en Europa. El tribu de estas dos hermanas es Ibibio (Garifuna) de Nigeria en Africa. El gran "PROYECTO" y Mision Politica de ellas, es infiltrar la cultura latina. La razon increible es porque ellas representan muchas de las personas africanas y negras en el mundo con complejos de inferioridad. Nada seria bastante por ellos;........NUNCA! Para ser feliz,...Dios tendria que cambiar la raza de ellas a blancas, y todos de nosotros sabemos que sin un milagro revolucionario, esto no seria posible.

MamzelleCreole ??????? Los latinos son los latinoamericanos ya sean blancos negros indi.... pero son los que viven en america y espana y portugal

It's cool bro,Us American blacks accept you

✊

A black person wanting black people to remain black is racist.. and you are black yourself. Our people have problems.

there's no such thing as Hispanic blood. hahahahaha

Actually there is, somebody need to do some research because if a person is black and Spanish, that type mixture comes from African American linage and Hispanic linage and I think I will know because I come from a Creole family and this also deals with genetics. Do some research

ghetuyi well the Hispanics originated in Spain. Maybe not blood but their is Hispanic ancestry.

Oh okay, I didn't know that, thanks for telling me, thanks👌👍

They despise and/or fear what they do not know. If the information is not made public, then the ignorance grows.

+Catharine Palacios Naturally!...according to YOU! hahahahahahahahahah I know that YOU are Garifuna too, ...busy trying to infiltrate Latino culture. Why do your people do this? Why do you want to make another ethnic-group become EXTINCT? WHY did you change: 1) Karifuna to Garifuna? 2) Creole to. Kriol? .......and NOW.......... 3) Latino to. Afro-Latino Huh????? WHY?

"Estamos Aqui Tambien" is a great name for a project! :)

+Ayanna De la Rosa They are not from the mainland of Honduras, .........but from an ENGLISH-speaking island (Roatan Island), located out in the Caribbean Sea.

+Elias Paiva You got It bro, audience matters. And this is not a matter of ethics or racism, just a bottom line problem. It is just that there is no business case to include afro-latinos in Telemundo, It is just like making a business case for Nigerian audience on BET.

Daneris Pacifico Telemundo was started in Puerto Rico not in the Continental U.S but in the commonwealth of Puerto Rico

Espanol Guerra You mean "Common Wealth of the U.S." Also Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens just like people born in Ohio, New York, Or Florida. Puerto Ricans pay taxes to the U.S. government and so does their businesses. I'm just stating facts man. Telemudo is an American Company. Don't believe me look it up on Wikipedia.

Daneris Pacifico Yes I know Puerto Rico is a U.S commonwealth duh. Telemundo was bought out by an American company called NBC. It was been beat badly by Univision/Televisa which was killing it in ratings and it wasn't going to survive with out being sold off to a network with tons of money.

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.

Good. L love yourself accept yourself and no African Americans don't understand what you're trying to say because they think that they're only only group of people who have suffered, some of them think that they're the only ones that have a monopoly on suffering discrimination and prejudice. Or I say to both of us sometimes we can be our own worst enemy because we takin what has been put on us by Jim Crow and I can't say that white supremacist and things like that and we had dropped off of feelings toward our self.

Anaperla Aureoles Gee! Latina no exactly weather com weather you there from the carribean what's country but there still medina and they have ancestry that is very obvious but we on mixture of all races I believe african indian asian european fry's I know that's what I was told I went to mexico to this is my family and I went to the museum there people try to come over, sadly people try to come up there and make information I didn't eat spicy if it's putting a connect to africa. Connected to africa no matter who we are I believe at the birthplace of all people of the earth if I'm not mistaken spread out about the world. Is a r it's really sad that people wanna say it to the african american because they are not americans. I think african-american people there and their own little box the other coach you would you be american culture and they have your own I din't, prices just try different the big issue in aberdeen american community about skin color here to church and facial features think the whole world has a problem with wanting to be whites. My own personal experience
