I seriously want to understand why him, when the lead actress was like 17.
They couldn't find another nepotist white boy around her age?

I'm so confused by this. The Latino gang was the Puerto Rican Sharks. They couldn't find any non-white Puerto Rican's? No Afro-Latino's in the roles? As a black woman, I hate Hollywood's idea of diversity because it's not about diversity, inclusion or equity. It's about having a few tokens and then continuing on with the circle jerk about how progressive they are.

lol I was gonna say... you do not need to create a new role, there are plenty of black Puerto Ricans...

Ariana DeBose is Afro-Puerto Rican and she's playing Anita. But yes, overall it's a problem.

And it's worse in his case because Spielberg has Black kids and still he only does these bullshit diversity performances. I'm so tired of this shit
