Al Pacino's not Latino, yet he played the main parts in Scarface and Carlito's Way, where was Leguizamo's criticism back then?!
reading those quotes by him seems he's gone off the deep end,
if anything, Latinos and blacks are over-represented in hollyweird these days & it's been like that for at least a decade
Go on youtube and look up television from the 1980s with the commercials intact. Hollywood solved it's "diversity" problem a long time ago.

People from failure cultures that were bitchslapped by whites tend to take comfort in convenient notions of unfairness.
Due to a misplaced sense of guilt, America will eventually elevate these people to position of serious power. Then you're fucked.
And Ana de Armas isn’t Scottish, yet she played Marilyn Monroe, one of the whitest actresses ever born.
So stop being a fucking hypocrite, Leguizamo.
Your logic doesn’t pass the smell test.
Let’s say you’re right, two wrongs don’t make a right.
Leguizamo has worked his ass off since the early 90’s, just look up his filmography. The man has paid his dues, been in some truly great films.
You can’t just disregard what he’s saying because you find some examples of white actors getting screwed out of roles. How many Latin superheroes can you name? Or how about leading Hispanic actors or actresses in popular franchises? Statistically it’s almost impossible to see so few Hispanics in substantial Hollywood leading roles.
Bat Manuel is a latin superhero from the show The Tick. And Vin Deisel leads a popular franchise as well as Michelle Rodriguez.
Its not right or wrong to cast an actor in a role, its called acting. If they can do a good job thats what is needed.
As others mentioned he did play Luigi and I enjoyed Johns performance. He's only spouting this nonsense because of how hyper pc and racist the left has become. Everything is so racially focused with those guys. Also some actors just get salty.
Apparently Warwick Davis (I love that guy) had some disparaging words about Peter Dinklage saying something like "He owes all his success to me, I paved the way, etc"...come on man. Just say you're happy the new guy in town is doing well and keep your grace.
If John didnt at least recommend an actor he thinks would be better than Franco he should just be quiet
Do you even know what the Hispanic population is in the United States? How can you justify Hollywood using 99.99% whites and only .01% Latinos? The math doesn’t remotely add up, not even close

How did he ruin executive decision? Please explain in detail how he ruined it. (Don’t worry, I know you won’t bother because you’re talking out of your ass)
Who are these better Latino actors? Go ahead, I could use a good laugh.
