"Latino" isn't a race. You can be latino and white, black, native, arab etc. Salma Hayek is arab. Lupita N'yongo is Afro-Mexican, etc.
But I agree she isn't a good fit for the other reasons you stated.

Seriously every argument her can be made with Nicole Kidman playing Virginia Wolf, who also embraced her physical appearance in her craft. Yet I sincerely doubt a single one of these people would be in uproar about it.

Wow, you're an idiot who doesn't get Hollywood context! Hollywood modifies the appearance of actors ALL THE TIME. This is no different than changing Charlize Theron's skin color to play a white woman or putting a prosthesis on Nicole Kidman to play a white woman with a big nose.

And that's why I thought she was brave for what she did. She went into the lion's den making a clearly self-depricating joke. I don't agree with her politics, but props for her bravery.

It helps to know she didn't write the song, and her name was tacked-on to get votes. Plus Anohni wasn't invited to perform, so it's nice to see an LGBT winner.

If you ask most women on the street, they will mostly tell you they are against women's suffrage.

If this gives him more time to do a Hellboy 3, then I'm good with it.

It should be R-rated, but only because of the massive amounts of hard core nudity from Hugh Jackman. Rawrrr

Actually we need to not talk about Kanye.

I had always envisioned Shoreh Aghdashloo in a Star Trek role. She just seems like a good fit.

SIGH. If I knew my three-sentence response would be met with a meandering diatribe, I would have stopped.

As far as the Stray Observations go: the show DID address why Constantine couldn't save Thea. Thea's bloodlust cannot be quenched because the man that killed her (Ra's al Ghul) is dead, so that part of her is gone with that person. Since Thea is was still alive, Constantine was able to retrieve her soul.

Thank you, Buzz Killington.

Zing! Stank you. Stank you very much.

Haha the Jet album. Yeah as much as I can't stand their pretentiousness, at least they are better than Now magazine. Those guys are the Armond Whites of music.

Saw him in Chicago after Sir Luscious was released. There were maybe 200 people in the audience. It was sad. Such a huge talent going unnoticed. Hopefully this gimmick raises his profile.

Mulder sleeping in a red thong made my day.

Dude, do you think there was a "visceral reaction" when Daniel Craig played a Brit? Or a Swede? Or when a French Actor played a German? No? Because these ethnicities are about as racially diverse as most Asian countries.

No. Othello was a Moor, which essentially comprise the racial lineage of
most arabs (who, by the U.S. census are considered a type of "white").

I put "white" in quotations for a reason. It's very accepted today that Othello was a Moor, which essentially comprise the racial lineage of most arabs (who, by the U.S. census are considered a type of "white").
But it's VERY important to underscore that Moors occupied southern Europe for centuries, thus changing the…
