La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for March 19, 2015
Transcript:
Cuco: Michelle Rodriguez, you sure seem upset at minorities in Hollywood. Rodriguez: Because they're always stealing all the roles from white actors! Cuco: LIke in "Exodus," when all the Egyptians were portrayed by white actors? Or in "Argo," when Ben Affleck played a Mexican-American CIA agent? Or Angelina Jolie playing a black woman? Or... Rodriguez: Quiet, mortal! I am supermouth! Tremble before the power of my unfounded and not-thought-out-well statements!
Can we all agree on a couple things? One: Lalo does have a agenda when it comes to Hollywood and his perceived bias by Producers toward Latinos. Two: when he addresses this agenda he goes way over the top and cares not about facts to make his point. Three: Ms. Rodriguez is a very talented actress that sometimes speaks before totally thinking. Four: Who really gives a rats butt about who portrays some comic book character, the market will determine if that actor ever gets another shot at it.
