Colorism and anti-blackness is prevalent in the Latin American world.

On the flip side I know people that are Afro Latino but have zero connection to the culture or roots…

Not that’s universally accepted by the community mind you, but it’s Latin-ecks, yea

So many loaded categories. I mean, lead actress in a comedy, how to choose? Although probably they’ll just give it to Mrs. Meh-sel.

My wife and I watched the first two episodes. I have a lot of close friends from India or American-born Indians so I was curious about their takes.

That’s fair. But since the article was specifically about the workplace allegations and none of the allegations mentioned Ellen specifically engaging in that kind of behavior, then it’s just speculation.

“If she wants to have her own show and have her name on the show title, she needs to be more involved to see what’s going on,” one former employee said. “I think the executive producers surround her and tell her, ‘Things are going great, everybody’s happy,’ and she just believes that, but it’s her responsibility to go…

Spin from who? The quotes saying that Ellen is perhaps not aware of what is going on in her show came from the subjects interviewed for the article

But I thought the point made in the article is that Ellen herself is oblivious about what is happening in her show?

If that isn’t the most beautiful statue I’ve seen put up in years.
