Asian director “Juelz” over lack of Afro-Latinos featured in “In The Heights” movie.

Lin Manuel and the cheesy, regressive slop he creates is an absolute litmus test for me. It betrays some thing so essential when people don't just enjoy it, but elevate it to levels between brilliant and sacrosanct. The left has really shown its ass with how they've fawned over this fukkin dork and his whitewashed cornball "art"

Wow. "Can't you just wait awhile, leave it alone"

Doesn't surprise me tho. She probably passes for white all her life and therefore thinks she's white.

They knew what they were doing with tjis movie tho. Casting is a very nuanced job, they know how many ppl they have and how it'll appear on screen. They aren't surprised by this backlash, they just don't have to care

Isn't there a lot of "me not black papi" in the Washington Heights anyway?

They were probably happy with the lack of melanin in the movie.

Hate to say it but @*DalMem* might be right


Probably was the least of their concerns but I’m not really paying mind to this story. Are the people complaining Dominicans or black folks?

Complaining Black Latinos.

Like I told them on IG, separate yourselves from the Latino nonsense and they wouldn't have this problem. Since the term Latino doesn't represent them at all. But they're so proud off their latinidad

That was one of the most racist segments I ever watched on national TV
