How come black Hispanics are not feature as much in TV, movies and music videos like white Hispanics?

Hispanic who consider themselves white Hispanics
Just for example
Jessica Alba - played in Honey as a black woman
Penelope Cruz - never played any love interest with a black man
Jennifer Lopez - was in bed with Wesley Snipes in Money Train
Eva Mendes - Played in two of Denzel Washington's movie as his love interest and in Ice cubs movie - love interest w/Mike Epps
Eva La Rue - CSI Miami
Eva Longoria - She married a half black man but doesn't play any love interest with black men
Jimmy Smits - Played in a few movies with black love interest - Cane
Esai Morales
Ricky Martin - Singer
Judge Marilyn Milian
Judge Christina Perez
Mark Consuelos - Kelly Ripa's Husband

Just for example
Hispanics who consider themselves black Hispanics
N.O.R.E AKA Noreaga - Rapper
Celia Cruz http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celia_Cruz
Zoe Saldana - from Drumline
Irene Cara - Fame
Rick Gonzalez - Rollbonce
Christina Milian - Singer/Actress, movie Love don't cost a thing w/Nick Cannon

Duh, I said Christina Milian is consider black Latina not Nick Cannon. If my question doesn't make sense, don't answer it. You just want two points. Why are white looking Hispanics in more movies, TV, new media etc. etc. than dark skinned black Latinos. Is it because they are dark skin? Is that clear enough for you?

We all have been program to believe that white or light skinned blacks, Hispanics, Asians etc. etc. are deem more beautiful. I don't know how this lie has come about but that what we have been program. It's called colorism. The power at be (white executives, Jews, Gays & Lisbians) are in control of Hollywood so that are putting these images out there. Just like in most black movies the male is dark skinned and the felmale if she is black is very light skinned or biracial, thin, green or light eyes with long hair.

Colorism is a form of discrimination where human beings are accorded differing social and/or economic status and treatment based on skin color. Colorism can be found across the world. The term generally is applied to non-white peoples who discriminate against members of their own ethnic group.

With colorism, usually lighter skin tones are preferred and darker skin is considered less desirable although it is possible for the opposite to also be true. An example of this phenomenon in the United States occurs in African-American communities, where it is often called color consciousness. In the U.S., the phenomenon also occurs in other populations, such as among Chicanos and other Latinos and Indian immigrants.

I'm sick of these racist questions..

Many do star in television. However they don't announce their ethnicity like most do...

Your question does not make sense first you split people into 2 groups, in the group you mention 6 people, 1 of whom is a rapper so why would he be on TV and in movies? of the other 5, one died 4 years ago. then of the "white" Hispanics almost 50% of them you point out as having played a love interest with a black person. So what is your question??

i have no idea what you're talking about but they say if you have a pinch of black in you, then you are automatically considered to be "BLACK"11!!!!!, sucks huh?

WHAT did she say??????????????????????????????

Maybe it's just coincidence that your so called "white hispanics" outnumber the "black hispanics" in the entertainment industry. Nothing to be hung up about in my own humble opinion.

Maybe because the light skin is more favorable for the roles that are seeked.

1st, Hello. :)

Most people have a tendency to disbelieve in the existence of the word "greater than" and "less than" - it's a word, and it exists for a reason. Some people have less, cars than others... sex appeal... You have more than most people :).

Seriously, blacks as a whole have been victimized to a "Greater" extent than anyone else (even Latinos).

Yes, there is discrimination against one or two white people, and three or four Latinos - but compare this to the hundreds of thousands of blacks..

Take a look here (One example out of thousands): http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/law/12/10/sco...


As an attorney, I can vouch for the accuracy of statements which suggest Blacks have been victimized by the system (even more than Latinos).

Once again, Hello. :)

RACISM!!! Plain and simple. They want to white looking Hispanics because they look more white. I notice a trend with Hollywood pairing Hispanics with whites now. I guess they are the new token.
