Hollywood has a tendency to "whitewash" characters in movies, even if they're based on true stories... Remember #OscarsSoWhite? Until now, introducing "American Love Story," a film where brown people take the lead. Coming soon to a theater near you!

Brenda Medrano But even if you're white passing, you'd still be judged for any latininad that you have. I think it's fairly easy to recognize which "white" people are being called out in these kind of videos because you know #notallwhitepeople 😕

Remy Festa My mom passes for white, though not the "white" that Americans seem to like. However English is her second language, and she has a Latin surname so she still got a lot crap. That's what I meant by my comment earlier. I don't know but I still believe that there's an implication as to which "white" groups are being discussed in videos like these.

RLZDA1 I do think there's a lot of different factors in play. So another thing was my mom's view on family. My grandma lives with them, I lived with them for a long while (in her background women stayed until married off but she didn't necessarily do that just through college). So a lot white Americans that she worked with gave her crap that way. Basically my mom's cultural differences was enough to make her too different. But like my brother is white passing because he looks white, adopted a lot of American customs (though he still has retained done traditions), speaks Spanish fluently but English as well with a West coast accent. I'd say he has white privilege until they learn his last name. I do think that with Latin culture there's so many dynamics that has everyone on a "spectrum" of sorts in terms of how much privilege they have. I do think that sometimes those nuances aren't spoken about more.

Puerto Ricans can play a Mexican. black british can play an american role but as far a skin complexion let be honest about it.

This is funny, but you overlook the fact that many Latinos are not "People of Color". Al Pacino, who is Italian, was cast as a White Cuban, because many Cubans are White descendants of Spaniards. Hank Azaria being cast as a Guatamalan is not that surprising either since there are also many Guatemalans of European descent. A HUGE percent of Latin America is descendant of people who are overwhelmingly of European descent. So casting Blacks and East Indian people as White people is absurd but casting White non Latinos as White Latinos is not that absurd at all. Why don't people get this?

I replied to another comment saying the same, but I'd share it on my own comment: the arguments are what are opening people minds to this kind of stuff. there are plenty of great actors of color, but a lot of time the people casting are looking for actors and actresses who will make them the most money, which will be white actors. and everyone knows why, but I'm going to try to keep this comment more based on a subject other than internalized and not-so-internalized racial hierarchy to keep this from being an argument rather than factual. so white actors = more money; actors of color = less money. these actors are also getting paid more than people of color, and white males more than white women. even after winning an oscar, and recognition. this isnt about "blaming white people for not catering to everything you want" its about a bias system, that started out bias, and will remain that way because now that cycle has also become about revenue.

its actually our( the consumers) fault..if we really cared about white washing we would hit hollywood where it hurts..their pockets. We wouldnt support the movies that blatenly cased a white actor over one of color and has them putting on a skin for the role. If we boycotted the movies they relased which did this and they lost a significant chunk of money they would be forced to at least acknowldge the issue. Back in the golden age of film there werent many ethicly diverse actors thats why white people played other races..now there is a whole cast of diverse actors waiting for their chance. My opinion is If the characters nationality/race/ ethicity is an integeral part of the character it should be played by a person of that group..if it isnt then it shouldnt matter who its played by. Honeslty I think it would benift Hollywood to expand their casting listand allow more actors to shine because its really boring to see the same actos in so many movies.

"A straight white guy playing a gay Guatemalan". Hank AZARIA is actually a Sephardic Jew, which are Spanish Jews who basically speak Spanish (Ladino). So, he's Spaniard and he grew up speaking Ladino aka Spanish Hebrew. Guatemalans do not have to be non-white. There are white Latinos with direct ties to Iberia. Maybe this is one of the reasons Flama has been extinguished.

You've completely missed the point. The point of this video was that white actors have been able to play different races since the beginning of cinema, while actors of colour are regimented to a few different stereotypical roles within their own ethnicity. This just points out how absurd whitewashing is, especially considering that it still happens.
