I think this creep is FOS. Hasn’t he been watching TV lately. If you’re “light skinned”, YOU AREN’T GOING TO GET A JOB.

Then find a way to do what film director Tyler Perry has been doing for several years: work with experienced screenwriters to come up with good scripts that feature certain minorities.

“What happened to all the Afro-Latinos and the majority of indigenous Latinos? They don’t get a shot”

BS, the film and television industry has a negro fetish as far as I have noticed. Everything is all about them it would appear.

Maybe central Americans are just too light skinned to cut it in the woke cesspool of current film and TV.

I thought White Hispanics were considered just as guilty of racism as White Caucasians?

So what, so does my daughter. She is avoiding skin cancer and loves her own look. Japanese women and women from earlier centuries did it as well. It is a fashion statement...but I guess today you can use it to proclaim racism and victim status. Lost a lot of interest in this guy.

My dearly departed gay brother always kind of hated this guy. He saw him as a real poseur. IIRC, brother was particularly exercised about JL being the Grand Marshall of the Puerto Rican Day parade, because he’s not actually Puerto Rican. Maybe he’s Columbian?

I’ll tell you what he is great in - “Bloodline” a miniseries that was about a prominent Florida family. Everyone in it was great, but Leguizamo was a revelation!

He’s also really good in the new Disney animated movie “Encanto”. TBH, I was shocked it was him, I really thought that part was being played by Ray Romano! Hey, but the movie takes place in Columbia, so maybe that is his heritage.

My advice to John, nobody cares what the color of your skin is, but if you are super neurotic about it, just keep voicing the cartoons.

Hollywood has outlived its usefulness.

It needs to be burned to the ground, so to speak.

Everybody knows light skinned people who are not called white
are used as non-white for hiring purposes in all industries ....etc.

You can be less than 1% Indian , and can be considered aboriginal...I used to work with some and they all looked white.

Barack Obama is white/black, but....

This cab be a great argument about race/different races,
unless stupidity gets in the way, as always these days.

Right. Hollywood is very unaccepting of minorities. Look at Ophrah Winfree.

I don’t believe it. Hollywood goes out of their way to hire “minorities”.

He has spent his 30 year career focusing on his ethnicity and has consistently worked the entire time. He’s full of crap.

What does he expect? He did "Wong Foo" and got typecast as a down-low wannabe puta. The only other thing of any note was Sid The Sloth in "Ice Age".
