Not really related to what you're saying here, but I wish Hispanic actors other than Banderas and Bardem would get a chance more often. It's not like they're the only Hispanic actors in the entire world.

There are many more working Hispanic actors than most people realize. Only they don't fit the Hispanic stereotype. Like Gina Torres, for example. Instead she plays roles on what she looks like to society, which in her case is African American. So, she doesn't get the Hispanic roles but the African American roles despite the fact that she is Hispanic. (The only time you will see a Hispanic actor who doesn't fit the Hispanic stereotype play a Hispanic role is if they have a natural Spanish accent that they can't shake.)

And forget it if you are mixed and you don't have a Hispanic surname. Most people won't even count you as a Hispanic actor despite the fact that you are. An example of this is Dylan O'Brien who is not only Irish with that stereotypical surname but Spanish. But good luck finding him on a Working Hispanic Actors list. Because not only does he not fit the stereotype, his surname isn't Spanish.

But, yeah, there are a ton of working Hispanic actors out there but again, they don't fit the stereotype so for many people, especially in the social justice crowd, those actors don't count.

Exactly. The "American way" of parsing race is mostly based on what people look like, regardless of how inane and unrelated to ethnicity that actually is, and it's just… always fucking sad, but especially so with how it's defined the Hispanic stereotype. Hispanics can't have white, black, or Native American descent, nope, All Hispanics = Brown People, the end, omg why are you arguing with this.

Representation should mean representing reality, giving a platform to real people, not forcing them to fit stereotypes that someone else entirely has decided is THE TRVTH.

I thought they were both Spanish? Then again I don't quite understand what people in the US mean by Hispanic? Is Gael Garcia Benel hispanic? That's who I would have thought of, someone from Latin America , rather than Spain, which makes them European.
