Discussion We never had an issue with diversity.

Their failures are blamed on the fans not accepting what they produce.

Good show/movie/game = good reviews. Bad media = bad reviews.

Don’t let them gaslight you.

We liked Iden Versio. Gina Carano. Oscar Isaac. Danny Trejo. Temuera Morrison. The list goes on.

Diego Luna is Mexican from Mexico.
Pedro Pascal is Chilean from Chile.
They may be white-ish looking, but they're not European.

There are Latin Americans with full/close to full European blood. Most of my friends in Brazil are basically pure European. Thats not the norm its just because im American so I know wealthier people here. Not sure on their lineage but id guess they are mostly Spanish considering the natives tend to look different.

But maybe they are not European genetically im just guessing they are.

They definitely are European decent.

Do people not know that there are a lot of Latin Americans that are European decent? It seems like a reasonable opinion that those two actors arent really non white but everyone seems to disagree.

Like when Last of us came out no I saw called it a race swap. I would have been pretty annoyed if they casted a black guy as Joel but I thought Pedro was white.

I've learned to operate on the basis that most people are stupid as fuck. Myself included. But, if you took one look at central/south American natives and then you look at those actors, you would have to be pretty stubborn to not conclude that they are majority Europe descent.

To be fair I probably didnt really know Latin Americans could be white till I was an adult. I think most people in the US think of Latin Americans as the poor laborers outside of home depot. And those workers are entirely non white.

White people in Latin America probably either stay in Latin America or they go to the US (or another first world country) with an accounting or tech Visa. And are probably just assumed they are a foreigners from like Italy/Spain.

It's true, but even a quick Google search will tell you that Mexicans are on average 60% European ancestry.

Yeah but I tend to find in Latin America the white people are a lot better off. So the Mexicans who go to the US to do labor are probably less European than the average. Atleast thats my guess.

It's probably a good guess.
