Afro-Latina Mexicana and proud of it! As black people in Mexico we have gone through so much and continue till this day to be left out of Mexican culture and history, but we stand proud of our blackness and will continue to embrace it no matter what society or my own country says.

@@Globalman43 for some reason they couldn't even find one Cuban singer. Celia is an icon. I am sure Shakira, and Gloria Estefan probably turned it down, and said that an afro Latina, or a Cuban singer should sing in the tribute. They probably recommended some people that they watched or knew.

Laz made a great point about different latin american markets being even less inclusive of afro latinos than Hollywood. I would even add it’s the case, to some extent, in all of the ones that he listed. There’s a weird apartheid-esque bias towards European and/or mixed physical features that dominate for historical reasons. Nobody expects change overnight, but the fact that this is so normalized that it doesn’t even seem to be a conversation in those markets is troubling.

Race is a construct, a myth. Black and white are colors, not races. That is why we're in this mess. Ethnicity, culture, and nationality are what are determinate. I'm a first generation Cuban-American pero yo no soy specifically or only Afro-Latinx because FOR ME, it would mean not adding Taino Native to the front of that qualifier as well (which is fine, but it's alot to add). There is such animosity when I bring it up to Caucasian, African-American, and sometimes even Latinx people who have bought into the lie that we are defined by our color and only our color. I support anyone who says they are Afro-Latinx, pero I also understand and empathize with those of us who want to be known for family's país y cultura. It's a layered and complex issue that deserves to be discussed amongst ourselves and with those who are ignorant to the many facets of Latinx people.

But Dasha is ALWAYS cast as a Latina. Orange is the New Black, When They See Us, In the Heights. Meanwhile. Laz, Gina , always placed as an African American role. They cast Dasha in these Latina roles because Hollywood sees her as Latina passing. Hollywood does not see Gina, Laz, and Amara as Latino. So that is why Afro Latinoa are for Black passing Latinos. Sorry Dasha You aint white, but you sure don't pass for black. Even Sarunas Jackson passes for more black, a lightskinned, or biracial. Which is what he was talking about it before. Dasha s more mestizo Latino.

When it comes to TV and movie roles for Afro-Latinos this is likely to vary depending on which Latin group is represented. Many TV shows and movies dealing with Hispanics deal with Mexican-Americans. Mexicans have a very small number of people with African ancestry in their population. So you won't see any Black or Afro-Mexicans in a movie dealing with Mexican-Americans. The situation could be different if a TV show or movie is dealing with Puerto Ricans,Cubans, Dominicans,Panamanians and Colombians. Those groups have more people with African ancestry.

I was expecting to hear more on that and heard NOTHING about the African root, just the Latin heritage. Dascha even mentioned Taino and Arawak roots, but no one said a word about Africa or how their ancestors got to Cuba or the Dominican Republic in the first place (they were imported from Africa when enslaved). So, since there's no mention of Africa, why hyphenate? Yes, they mentioned Black a couple of times and inferred it a lot, but so much emphasis was put on their Latin heritage until it didn't feel like a solidarity with Blackness only that they were stressing that they're darker skinned Latins. Truth is that, as Black people, we all come from an African root. So if you're going to hyphenate Afro anything, please be clear about THAT PART as much as you are on the rest. Given the history of older Latinx being people very anti-Black until the last decade or so, I feel like that move toward solidarity is an important one.

They want acceptance from white Hispanics, not blacks. They , like everyone else, use black as a stepping stone. They feel "forced" to play generic blackso when they could just pool their resources and start their own Tyler Perry studio and create their own content.

Growing-up I only knew Cubans that were Black. I didn't know white White-Cubans where a thing until years later. It's only my strange experience (from Chile). One thing that is really notable is that growing-up in South America, all the people on television are the whitest in each country - whether white-Cuban, white-Argentine, white-Mexican... Every country represents the mostly white people on screen. Even in the other ex-Spanish colony in Asia, The Philippines, all the people there in TV and Film are the Whiter-looking people.
