what not to love about Latinas on TV
Her writing has was in The Acentos Review, Hispanic Culture Review together journals.
With Eva Longoria's stint as Gabrielle Solis on abc's "Desperate housewives" in its bristling final season, It may seem like there will soon be a gaping hole for Latina portrayal on primetime TV. not to worry "Desperate regular folks" Creator Marc Cherry is now desigining a show called "Devious maids, the storyline of four Latina housekeepers in Beverly Hills.
i praise you, Cherry. Your follow-up to Gabrielle Solis an adulterous, Shallow woman who uses her glimpse and sex appeal to get what she wants is of course, the most significant Latina stereotype of all: service personnel. It makes me believe that we're moving backward.
Longoria cohosted this years ALMA awards ceremony not surprising due to the fact Longoria won the Person of the Year award there in 2006. What was surprising would be that the basis of that award was her role on "Desperate average women, The ALMA awards aim to market "good, truthful, And negotiator portrayals of Latinos in entertainment" [url=https://www.wattpad.com/746576562-spanish-women-the-reason-you-have-to-travel-to]beautiful girl in spanish[/url] as though Gabrielle? yeah, best, That's exactly [url=https://about.me/spanishwomen]dating a spanish girl[/url] what pops into their heads when I think of positive images of Latina women.
also "Desperate average women" Was this year's ALMA winner for well-liked TV series, and now that it ending, I couldn't help wonder what else exists for young Latina actresses.
lamentably, A role like u. s Ferrera's in ABC's "unsightly Betty" Comes around too infrequently. developed by Salma Hayek, "ugly Betty" Was good deal because it depicted the home life of an American Latino family in a positive way. Its main figure, Betty Suarez, Was an informed, dependable, diligent young woman.
Betty just might be naive, But her career driven and family orientated motives made her a well rounded character that helped to diversify images of Latinos a tv personality. Even her lack of fashion sense a source of comic relief and constant teasing by her co workers added in many ways to this diversity. Betty Suarez was just desires girl who had priorities straight.
with "Desperate housewives" coming to an end, in addition,yet "gross Betty" Off air since 2010, There's a decline in the already lagging diversity of roles on mainstream the tube, depending on the National Latino Media Council 2010 Diversity Report Card, But also the kinds of roles out there for Latinas.
Looking at what's left, I find myself especially focused on the Latina roles on shows aimed at young audiences and the effects these stereotypes might have.
use, for example, Francia Raisa, Who portrays Adrian Lee on ABC Family's "features it offers Life of the American Teenager,Adrian is the school slut, who else, Like Longoria's style, Openly uses sex to get what she wants. She is also a nearly friendless outcast. She is decisive, emotional and hard edged. She gets pregnant along with her friend's boyfriend, Marries the child, after, After a miscarriage, Hatches a scheme to trap him and keep him in the marriage by conceiving again. To worsen, Adrian's mother is also made as being promiscuous.
and afterwards it there's Naya Rivera, Who plays Santana Lopez on the highly rated Fox show "joy, Rivera's part has the makings of a groundbreaking role a Latina lesbian fighting her sexual identity. nevertheless, The significance of this is certainly negated by the fact that Santana is a selfish schemer, Who will sleep with whomever male or female to get ahead.
She's not contrary to Alice Verdura, The manipulative sexpot the actual internet CW's "Hellcats, Hellcat's second season was canceled, But in 22 episodes that aired in 2010, Alice, Played by louise Hemmens, in general reverted to sex appeal to get her way. In one situation, She seduced her ex boyfriend, The captain of the footballing team, To swipe a playbook.
This are few things new. Many have said on Carmen Miranda's portrayal of the dumb, Sexed older, can't speak English Latina, Or the spectacle of Charo's "Cuchi cuchi, A pointless but funny catchphrase which became famous on her appearances on "The passion Boat, ostensibly, It had connected with the nickname for her childhood dog, But it came identified with Charo's attention seeking dress and image as the fun, freakish Latina.
I am not denying that the roles for Latinas have advanced significantly Callie Torres on "Grey's body structure" Is a dr,a dr played by Sara Ramrez. Callie was a bisexual Latina some time before "Glee was in the news. The character journey became the very best portrayals of a lesbian relationship interracial, Even on the telly. The role is only somewhat marred by an affair even though using show's male slut, And a tryst that generated a pregnancy while Callie had a girlfriend. But at least we have a knowledgeable, as qualified in cooking resident at a top hospital.
But only because Callie Torres a role I could not imagine for a Latina when I was growing up exists, Let's not get too high quality. on Betty Suarez gone, The regular appearance of Latina skanks makes me decidedly awkward, And with good reason. Latina characters were generally more likely to have the following traits than white or dark-colored characters: "Addictively delightful, "sensual, "sexual" as "Exotically bad,
These researchers also found that unlike characters of other races, Latinas had been the "Laziest, "Least brilliant" and the best "Verbally economical,
But what really bothers me concerning the roles of Adrian on "the trick Life of the American Teenager, Alice from "Hellcats" furthermore Santana on "glee, Is that these are shows marketed towards young audiences teens and younger who are still forming their impressions around the globe. It makes me wonder who is tuning into, Taking in and perhaps acting on these stereotypes.
Worst of all, Adrian, Alice and Santana not really stupid, Or care-free, whichever. They are really the cream of the crop talented girls who excel at school, Art or sport, Representing real choices at diversifying the portrayals of Latina women in the media. all the same, They are the sluts, Still the manipulative players that antagonize the likeable white character.
you can get finally some smart, Young Latina cartoon figures on TV, But we're not speculated to like them.
