Woke

Just the premise is super racist. Even in outer space, Mexicans are only good for migrant farm labor.

I watched trailer twice and I dont think its woke. I think it was actually neutral, like it was made 20 years ago.

They didnt pretend he was the first ever Hispanic astronaut. There is actually a list of them. They have been in space since 1980. So he wasnt like the first ever.

They didnt scream about: "You cant make it to program because rahsizm and they have you because you are mexican" .

Well because other hispanics already was there. And dude is not migrant - he was born in USA. So they were like: " You have to train and apply again"

Synopsis here is misleading. "He was not "first migrant farmworker to travel to space". Dude was born in USA. He cant be migrant. He even spent 6 month in Mexico and 6 month in USA during childhood. Because he could afford travel back and there. Because he was American citizen with passport and stuff. He was not some poor illegal migrant hiding from authorities.

Here is his wiki page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_M._Hern%C3%A1ndez

Who were the evil whites standing in the way of his success? His (white) boss at Lawrence Livermore encouraged him, while his wife was less so, at first.

Did it ever occur to you to watch a film prior to making a fool of yourself on the forum?

WOKE ELEMENTS
Even though it could have been much worse, especially when you consider the real Hernández’s politics, there were a few obligatory moments of identity politics injected in.
There’s a brief conversation between Hernández and another minority astronaut in which she hits us with the, “do you know how important it is for people like us” to be represented routine. As though people of color are the only ones who have ever succeeded despite coming from nothing.
When listing the differences between himself and those who have been chosen for the space program, his wife mentions that most of them had been Caucasian. Well duh. Most of the applicants were Caucasian. And it’s not like Hernández was anywhere near the first minority in space. He wasn’t even one of the first 10 Latinos.

It’s awesome that you worry about this kind of shit.

This was kinda woke, but I like the Mexican lead. He was good.

Seems as though this movie is implying that being a farmer sucks and that higher aspirations are the pathway to happiness which is bs. Quite condescending.
