The Revenant and Birdman couldn't be made with Mexican actors... besides, Revenant actually had a lot of diversity. Babel had a lot of Mexicans working on it, Adriana Barraza even made the cut at the Oscar nods.
I understand your point, but your argument is so poorly based... what the fck does Lee and Perry have to do with this? They're not Mexican and they're not even good directors. You're not taking about nationality there, you're talking about race, Luis Gerardo Mendez, for example, is white, despite being Mexican.
Is not his obligation to take Mexican actors to Hollywood, I wish he would direct Alcázar or Bichir, but because the combination would be interesting. And lets remember he has taken many people from the technical and artistic approaches already. For what you can notice in his iMDB page, he actually supports Mexican cinema by producing many Mexican films.
That being said, we can conclude he isn't against his own country talent, on the contrary, but maybe what your post should've said is that you wish he would work with those actors you mentioned, but because it would seem interesting to you, not because he's a racist of his own culture and film products or talent.
