Where was his outrage at Pacino playing a Puerto Rican?


Pacino, who is an American of Italian heritage, played Carlito Brigante, a nuyoricano, meaning a New Yorker of Puerto Rican origin.

Carlitos Way shouldn't have had Pacino in this part. He's Italian. Looks Italian. Talks like an italian.

Where was the outrage that a non Latino or non-Puerto Rican played this character?

Oh that's right, John got a part in this movie so he kept his big mouth shut!

And don't forget when Al Pacino played Tony Montana in Scarface! We didn't hear diddly-squat from Leguizamo about that either!
