LATINOS ARE NOT EQUALLY REPRESENTED IN THE MEDIA INDUSTRY!!

-

 Joaquin Castro, a Texas U.S representative, spoke about the lack of representation Latinos have in the media industry. There is a low representation of Latino actors in the United States. Besides getting excluded, Latinos are immensely stereotyped in the industry. This is unfair, and people are getting mad about it. Many journalists have spoken about Hispanic reporters not being represented or able to attend significant media events. Los Angeles Times made a public apology for not hiring journalists of color. More individuals from the Latino community have been uniting to make this problem known. Through this journey, a media outlet hired Gustavo Arellano, a Mexican American writer. After addressing this topic, many changes occurred within media outlets and Latino representation. So, what happened here? People indeed got mad as hell and started fighting for equal media representation for Latinos. This topic proves that the media is a powerful tool.

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS IMMIGRATION CRISIS?

-
  Immigrants from different countries have been trying to cross over to the United States. Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, bussed several immigrants from the Texas border to Washington D.C. Many people are not content with this. The real question here is, why did he do this first? Beto O’Rourke stated that this was just another political stunt done by Greg Abbott.

  Where does the Latinx community stand when it comes to voting? Latinxs do not engage in politics for many reasons. In 2020 Latinxs were predicted to impact the 2020 presidential election significantly. During the election campaigns, some political campaigns in the state of Nevada turned to Latinxs with the goal of obtaining their vote. In her article, Calderon describes the Latinx community as a sleeping giant when it comes to voting. This means that Latinxs are known for not participating in voting.

There are many reasons why Latinxs are not active in politics, like, language barriers, lack of information, lack of resources, and citizenship status. With this being said, it was confirmed that many Latinxs voted in the 2020 elec...
