Actor John Leguizamo has taken out a full-page ad in the New York Times to urge industry insiders voting for Emmy Awards nominees to vote for “non-white artists” because there isn’t enough “inclusion” in the entertainment industry.
“America is better when it is inclusive,” the Spawn star wrote. “It is more profitable. It is more creative! Let’s not give up. I’m still woke! Are you?”
“Please let this be the year we finally embrace change,” Leguizamo’s ad began. “The year we truly find Equity, and see artists of color represented across not just one category, but ALL categories.”

the only thing I ever saw John L in, is the movie To Wong Foo, many years ago.
And all these years later he’s still just a whining “little latin boy”, trying to be some thing else.
Why not Illegals?
Yes to parents that were probably racially mixed. Just because you’re Columbian does not mean you’re 100% indigenous. Just look at his lighter skin.
Maybe saying half white was not correct but my point was the so called hispanic race was created by white people getting it on with the native population. They didn’t exist before 1492.
Better he should throw his money away on something actual Americans don’t care about than give it to Joey.
I get your point....regardless of his lineage, he’s just another run of the mill racist liberal that’s too stupid to know he’s just another run of the mill racist liberal.....it really is a mental disorder.
If that's what they want, it should include the financing end of the business. Let POC bankroll them.
“the Spawn star wrote.”
Ha! They had to go back to a 30 year old flop this guy was in. Good career!
Technically, so-called Hispanics are of the white race.
racist, insane, and just plain stooopid
“America is better when it is inclusive,”
He spelled exclusive incorrectly.
Or we could simply choose GOOD artists, which means we won’t be choosing John Lequizamo.
He plays Aurelio, the criminal owner of a high end car chop shop, and long time friend of John Wick.
Seems like a nice guy.
His own heritage is mostly Spanish and Colombian, and a little African, so it sounds like he is tooting his own horn with his Vote For Persons of Color appeal.
crazy por rican
“Diversity” = Kill all the white people
“Equity” = Kill all the white people
“Inclusion” = Kill all the white people
Yeah, I can’t think of a single non-White homosexual who has been wildly richly famous in the entertainment industry…
( sarc)
Correct.He is a racist ahole
WHO?
Uhh, he’s whiter than my Calabrese dad was. Only reason I’m whiter than Leguizamo is my mom was Irish. So I guess he wouldn’t want an award.
