I'm totally with you, OP. I totally loved Argo, and had no idea until you posted this secret that there was controversy over it.

As far as the controversy itself...eh, Louie C.K. and Lynda Carter are half-Latino/a. Not everyone looks exactly like your stereotypical idea of Latino. If the real Tony Mendez has a particularly "Latino look" (stereotypically, I mean), then I'll agree. But if he doesn't look it, I'm cool with an actor as talented as Ben Affleck playing him.

No, he doesn't have a look at all, one way or another. There's a reason Mendez is a master of disguise. He could pull off any look they needed him to.

Good to know! Yeah, whitewashing is a real thing, but this was not it.

People don't seem to realize that "white" and "Hispanic" are not mutually exclusive. In fact, many official documents make the distinction between "White Hispanic" and "White Not Hispanic" as racial categories. Many Hispanic people have light skin and even light eyes and hair.
