White Man Javier Bardem: "I know what I'm talking about when I talk about minorities."

Following his Oscar nomination, Javier Bardem said “let's talk about Spanish minorities. How many Spanish characters are there in international cinema? None. There are Latin American characters. I know what I'm talking about when I talk about minorities.” pic.twitter.com/JQyW9P3A3g

This Inigo Montoya and Maximus Decimus Meridius erasure.

If he's saying this from a Hollywood POV I can see that (but then so is pretty much every foreigner lol) but in terms of International Cinema lol no.

Also even within Hollywood.....Javier gets nice stuff from here, even better than Penelope if we really wanna talk and she's been out here longer than him.

Well obviously there not being enough Spanish characters outside of Spanish film means Spanish=minority…

Man gets hyped up as one largely because audiences don’t see a difference between a Spaniard and Latinos. Doesn’t help that there’s also probably (white) Latinos who push this narrative.

White people want to be oppressed so badly. You’re not a minority. Shut the fuck up.
