Hollywood’s Latino Problem: Vanity Fair, Jerry Seinfeld, And The Myth Of Meritocracy

By César Vargas, Fox News Latino

What a week. Just when I was recuperating from Lorne Michaels SNL’s Latino Problem, now it’s Vanity Fair and Jerry Seinfeld. If you’ve been under a rock, Vanity Fair is getting a lot of kudos for its latest “diverse” cover. As Salon puts it: “This is the best of Hollywood — a diverse array of stars emerging and established, black and white alike.” Let that sink in, pueblo. The same ol’ black and white paradigm. Qué cojones.

You know what they’re trying to tell us, right? That we don’t exist, familia. That we don’t matter. But you know what matters? Your money. So hit them where it hurts. Make your money as invisible as they make us. Disappear. Whatever Latino, White, Black, or Asian you see with a Vanity Fair issue, give them the side eye. Mal de Ojo for you.
