Afro-Latina actress who gets cast as African American rather than in roles of Latin American descent, exemplifying how even when Latinos are cast, they rarely play Latino characters.
"They're usually actors who can pass for white and get cast in white roles, like half-Mexican Lynda Carter or half-Puerto Rican Frankie Muniz; or they're afro-latinos who get cast as African Americans, like Gina Torres. It's rarely actors who play characters of Latin American descent."
