Foundational Latin American John Leguizamo call out James Franco as Fidel Castro

[get these nets]

Benny Blanco is pandering here......floor showing for social media. Him, John Seda, and other Latin actors audition for and land roles as Italians. If you're not going to refuse to play those roles, you have NO leg to stand on by calling out non Latinos playing real/fictional Latin characters.

Now, of course, it's not quite the same thing and a working actor is going to audition for available work....but keep it 100.

and Chicago is right, early in his career be perpetrated like he was part Puerto Rican to ride the early 90s Nueva Rican wave out of NYC......until them Boris called him out.

I’m not going to tell another community how they should feel:

A non emotional response

CASTROS PARENTS ARE FROM SPAIN.
HES NOT A LATINO.

EARLY IN HIS CAREER?

HE WAS STILL CLAIMING RICAN
AS RECENT AS 2011
AND HIS FATHER IS THE ONE
WHO EXPOSED HIM, NOT THE "BORIS"

Despite father's claim, Leguizamo asserts Puerto Rico ties

John Leguizamo often peppers his acts with stories about his Puerto Rican roots. But the comedian's father told a newspaper last week that he was Colombian -- and that his son was misleading fans about their family's heritage.

Castro is mixed. This is a non story

 

[voiture]

Isn't Castros parents from Spain? Technically that makes him European. In that sense, the Franco casting is correct

 

[RARI_Godwind]

They doing a Fidel Castro movie??

 

[Satsui no Hadou]

hispanics trying desperately to hold onto the little bit of non cac left in their genes so they can cry about shyt like this:

Like this board never went crazy when non-ADOS were picked for certain roles

James Franco has that Iberian in him technically

I don’t understand the tweet. Back then ethnic people changed their names and in the case of Rita Hayworth went through a number of extensive procedures to fit in with the milieu of the day. Sure, some women found a niche as the sultry Latina sexpot but no actor or actress wants to be typecast.

Hell, even Rudolph Valentino, who was known as the prototypical Latin lover, was Italian.

I see a lot of people complaining about Latinos organizing and wanting to be white during the civil movement era, and while in hindsight it was incredibly misguided, it was done so in the hopes that first and second generation Latinos could be afforded opportunities and integrate into white America. You have to keep in mind that one of the biggest cases LULAC fought was in regards to a Mexican American soldier being refused a proper military funeral by white owners…that is the social climate we are talking about

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

wakanda needs to build a wall

A plot element with the Namor sequel?

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

They doing a Fidel Castro movie??

Why is that shocking?

 

[CHICAGO]

Castro is mixed. This is a non story

[Scustin Bieburr]

He looks like Castro and can act
Castro was a white Cuban

I don't see the issue here.

The PRs in the arts world in NYC called him out, and that ended him riding the 1990s NY Rican wave that was big around that time. Him still claiming it in the mainstream after that was irrelevant. He was labeled a perpetrator.
