Why didn’t she give her role to a POC?

That interview is cringe as shite. She tries to make it so that Spanish heritage is not white.

Funny that you clipped off the other half of the sentence

which explains how she's half Latina.


I was explaining the 87% white part.

That's not how DNA works. She's not automatically half Latina because grandma and grandpa on one side were Mexican.

She needs to get that thing removed from the side of her chin.

When you really don’t give a frick about “diversity”, virtue signal anyway. Good job Jessica.

Hollywood's obsession with race, along with their hostility towards the white race, is just weird. IRL you don't see people obsessing over it nowhere near the way they do.

They're out of touch

No, it really isn't.

Man, I do love me some Jessica, but speaking isn't her strong suit.

...Well you ain't so Latin Jessica unless by Latin you mean French Latin.




But...but...on the "official" melanin chart, her tone isn't Northern Albino Euro white, so she thinks she qualifies as, "Latino Medium Cream" on the POC chart. (Same as me and those of southern Italian descent).

Wait a minute...am *I* technically "Latino"?

I agree, so be creative and create a world and superheroes that you want to fit your perceived world view and your desires.

Don't ask to influence and take over things that have already existed or been created. This isn't complicated.

And there's nothing wrong with lots of minority superheroes. Captain Marvel is great, Falcon is great, etc. There's no need to change big heroes for this purpose.

She's white though. If she fills out a form that says race she puts "white".

She doesn't even look "Latina" which was the New World term for basically the mash-up of Spanish Conquistadors/Indigenous peoples and later African slaves.

On that Lopez DNA show, she was 0% African, 13% Native American and 87% European.

She looks more like French actresses than any "Latina."

She got a little Native American DNA from her Mexican grandparents and that's about it...and she seems pissed about it.
