You cannot claim racism isn't part of your community and continue to tell your kids to make sure they pick the right partner to "mejorar la raza," come oooooooon.

Rita Moreno opened her mouth and my abuelita spoke through her. Disappointed, but not actually surprised. Because having HER, of all people, dismiss the colorism problem in the latine community basically shows how deep it runs.

Also, at this point, just for PR's sake, I'm not even asking all of you to be actively anti-racist, as you SHOULD BE, but for PR's sake, could you all at least stop talking?

She is defending her friend LMM, who was not involved in casting the movie In The Heights. I don't think that she's justifying the casting decisions, either.

Lin needs no defense over something he already apologized about. And when it comes to colorism, us white latinos need to do more than let this be someone else's problem.

In my experience, older people tend to inadvertently promote colorism, because they come from a time when being light skinned was a lucky break. I disagree with her, but we really have to grade her on a curve.

I agree with you there, which is why I wasn't surprised. She's actually much more progressive for a Latina than most women her age. Still think considering her influence, it needs to be called out, but I agree.

While I agree with your point about our culture you have to admit that Hollywood is just white and black right now. Latinos come in all colors but atleast black people have representation while the rest of us don’t even get a mention…

Do you understand that this is about Black latinos being excluded? You seem to think that Afrolatinos don't count.
