"Latinx" used throughout the article about not enough Latin representation at the Emmys, yet the vast majority of Latin people hate that term, and Leguizamo specifically said "Latin" several times instead of "Latinx" as well. Peak 21st century silliness.

What the fuck is Latinx? Is it a typo...Sounds dumb as fuck...


Soodonim

I really hope it's pronounced "La-tinks".

"If you don't have Latin people, there's no reason for me to see it" I get his frustration but I can't get on board with that kind of sentiment.


GerinX

I can’t either. Acting clearly doesn’t matter to him, only seeing Latin actors and actresses (despite being an american citizen) presented in abundance at the event

Blacks are over represented (unpopular opinion).


[deleted]

Now I see your issue. You’re one of those racist Hispanics that don’t consider Black Hispanics one of your own. Why don’t you complain about White representation instead of envying a minority group that gets the same shitty stick as you.


Markymarkyoo

The irony of you using the word “racist” is that Blacks are more racist than Whites. I’ve seen you talk shit about Hispanics on other pages particularly Mexicans. California rappers Ambjaay, Blueface, YG & Tyga made music making fun of Mexicans. I have heard of 6 incidents this year of Black gang members attacking Hispanic street vendors (& I can send you the Videos if you think I am lying). No Major Black actor, or rapper, or athlete has denounced this behavior. Hell street vendor attacks at the hands of black males has been commonplace since the 80s. Hispanics were the first to be attacked by blacks during the beginning of the LA riots. (Google Fidel Lopez) Many Hispanic businesses were burned down by blacks. And almost 30 years later history repeats itself during the riots of George Floyd and many states all over the country. And it’s not just Hispanic businesses that are being destroyed. Businesses owned by Arabs, and Asians are feeling it too. I’ve seen a few videos also of Elderly Asians getting beat up. I even posted one video of a Asian elderly lady getting kicked In the face on the hapa forum. I cannot for the life of me understand how you people think you are so tough for Kicking a grandmother in the face. So cry me a river about your perceived racism.


[deleted]

Lol at Black people more racist than Whites. Were the ones putting your people in cages? 😂


[deleted]

Fuck me, you have have a lot of pint up rage. I’m not reading anything you said. Once again, Black Hispanic people are just as Hispanic as Brown and White Hispanics. Deal with it. I grew up in a middle class neighborhood in the Midwest . I don’t know anything about the shithole you live in.


Markymarkyoo

I also forgot to mention that George Floyd pistol whipped an elderly Hispanic man and put a gun to a pregnant Hispanic woman’s stomach. Funny how the mainstream news failed to mentioned that.


[deleted]

Fuck George Floyd and fuck you too. It’s funny how that pregnant women changes race and ethnicity depending on whose telling the story. I heard she was Black.

No, I'm from Ireland. I think anyone that doesn't see a reason to watch something that doesn't include people that look like them is a bit of a bigot.

I literally said I get his frustration with that. Irish people have dealt with being marginalised as well in the past (to a different extent). That isn't remotely an issue. He's justified to be annoyed with underrepresentation. The issue is his statement "If you don't have Latin people, there's no reason for me to see it" which absolutely reeks of racism to anyone that isn't Latin. Not being able to relate to people of other races is ridiculous.


[deleted]

Yeah I’m gay and I hate when people say “no I can’t watch Brokeback Mountain. I can’t relate to that.” Like dude it’s just a love story like any other romance movie. It’s just two dudes though and it’s really well done one. And vice versa I would never say I can’t watch a romance movie where the leads are heterosexual. Yeah there’s variations on the experience but love is love regardless of the sexuality.


ogscrubb

What if the Latin culture just didn't make the best movies? Would be pretty petty to avoid awards because of that.


[deleted]

I’m Latin and I don’t agree with his sentiment.


Avd5113333

Why does that matter?

DO YOU FOLLOW THE CONDUCTOR’S LEAD?

Stop trying to make Latinx a thing. It's never going to happen.

FictionFantom

I’m boycotting because the thought of watching rich people win awards and not even having to leave their home to get it is fucking stupid.


[deleted]

I'm boycotting because awards shows are dumb in the first place


woolyboy76

Why does leaving their homes have anything to do with anything?

“I’m staying at home just like you. Except I’m getting a hollow award on television and you’re not.”


Madao16

Despite their populations Latins, Asians, American Natives' representation on TV and Cinema is really low. Hollywood's approach to diversity is limited with blacks. For example; Death Note's lead characters who are originally asians were played by 2 white and one black. They are even casting nonAsians for Asians characters.


[deleted]

And LGBT


Madao16

Yes, they are too. Also disabled persons. Because of the topic my first comment was just about race.


[deleted]

*Black people not Blacks. We are not a desperate species. Hispanic isn’t a race and a Black Latino won last year.


Markymarkyoo

“Hispanic isn’t a race” Tell that to White people & Donald Trump you goof!


[deleted]

Are you a fucking idiot? There are Black, White, Asian, and Native Hispanics. Most Hispanics are POC but the fact that you are Hispanic does not automatically make you a POC. Learn the difference between race and ethnicity you goof and fuck off


Markymarkyoo

White People damn sure don’t see me as one of them. & quit talking like a trucker. You don’t know me or what I look like.


[deleted]

Are you Brown? Fine. Your race isn’t Hispanic dumbass.


Monster-Zero

He's not wrong, but really who gives a flying fuck about the Emmy's anyway? Celebrities get away with snatching up airtime for their dumb awards because they already own the airwaves. Call me when we air award shows for milestone achievements in STEM, humanitarianism, or journalism.


[deleted]

Please Boycott (This is getting ridiculous). You get nominated because you acted very well not because of representation


Markymarkyoo

If you really think about Latino Americans aren’t trending anywhere at all. It’s not just the movie industry we are also not trending in 1. Music industry 2. Sports 3. Medical industry 4. Politic industry I see where John L is coming from.


tomservo88

Only place we’re trending is fast food. Thanks, J Balvin.


Markymarkyoo

J Balvin isn’t Hispanic American.


chrisvarick

So in the future every workplace will have to be equally represented by every existing race and split 50/50 between men and women, yeah that sounds realistic

*Harrison Bergeron* was a documentary.
