SATURDAY, JULY 21ST
Hispanic Actor: …and so, there I am on set, and the director is trying to make my voice all ethnic, like… La Cucaracha. I’m from East LA. I’m not from Mexico. I’m an American, and everyone from East LA talks exactly like me, right now. And that inaccuracy tells young Hispanic kids that they’re supposed to sound different, and it tells white people that all Hispanics talk like that. We don’t. I’m tired of hearing “oh your English is so good”. It’s my first language!
There’s no punchline here or anything, that’s all of it
