Why can’t we Latinx have a piece of the pie? We are the largest ethnic group in America and missing as if we didn’t exist! https://t.co/8xV6dJnvSM pic.twitter.com/ilDZqRLAEB

That part. And the reason Jerome Jharrel and other Black Latinos even HAVE to play African-American roles is because they can't get Latino roles due to colorism in the industry, which you won't see Latinos lighter than a paper bag complaining about. https://t.co/ghF0VdyRfm

Retweeting this again because I hope everyone crying about Latinx representation rallies behind Black Latinx filmmaker Nadia Hallgren at the Emmys this hear for her work on this HUGE doc. https://t.co/uHKWnei3BA

the same latinos who cry about the emmys are the exact same ones who are silent when telemundo is openly anti black, racist and xenophobic against caribeños. how are you going to guilt trip black americans into doing work for you when your community openly hates black latinos

it's "all my ancestors came from spain" until a 'black panther' comes out and it's "black people aren't doing enough for the latinx entertainment community." every lead actor on telemundo looks german but black entertainers are to blame for lack of representation in media. k. pic.twitter.com/pkP20IWNkx
