Flipping The Script: If White Actors Were Treated Like Latino Actors

A group of my students shared this video as a part of a larger presentation in my foundations for multicultural social work class this semester, and I’m sharing it here.

“In the media, the misrepresentation of Latinos is rooted in very specific stereotypes.”

In this Mic video on the misrepresentation of people who are Latino and Latina in the media, viewers are also provided with a glimpse of how casting calls can feel to actors who are often asked to play into stereotypes to get the part.
