I read a tweet from some entertainment journalist, can't remember her name.

Those are women, I was talking about white guys. We're still in a point where casting white women is considered part of the overall push for more diversity and more representation. And there's still some push back against white women having their own blockbusters (like the negative response to the Captain Marvel movie that centered around hating Brie Larson).

There are certain corners where this isn't the case, and we have discussions about color-ism and anti-blackness in the Latino community all the time. But as of right now, in domestic markets, we are still considered a minority.
If this wasn't the case, my interactions with white people as a light skin Latino would be a lot different than they currently are.
This seems to be the opposite of the stupid "go woke go broke" memes that have been pervasive in certain corners over the last few years.
