What this article is discussing is the lack of representation of Latinos in the media, in the article it talks about how whoever Latinos are shown in the media they are portrayed as these criminals. “Castro says the lack of accurate representation, especially in Hollywood, means at the very best that Americans don’t get a full understanding of Latinos and their contributions. At worst — especially when Latinos are solely portrayed as drug dealers or criminals — it invites politicians to exploit negative stereotypes for political gain, Castro said.” This is something that needs to be addressed because Latinos are being stereotyped as these drug lords and people only laugh about it and gas the idea up.
Brandon, This article is ABOUT representation, but the assignment was asking you to share an EXAMPLE of representation itself and to think about the assumptions and messages underlying the representation.
