Representation

In my project, I'm not entirely sure what I'll be doing just yet, but it's reasonable to assume that, having me in it, it'll involve Latino representation. One example of Latino representation in the media would be the superhero Vibe in the CW's The Flash. I believe it's a fairly accurate portrayal, as he is a Latino character played by a Latino actor, and there's more to his character than just his ethnicity. He has some stereotypical Latino characteristics such as speaking Spanish and having a sizable extended family, but in my experience these are not inaccurate and I think they're fair, so I would probably retain these characteristics. Another example of Latino representation in the media is the Marvel movies' Luis, who is Ant-Man's best friend. He also speaks Spanish and mentions having s numerous cousins, but he's a criminal whose family gets deported. These are common negative stereotypes and even though there may be some truth to them I don't think they're fair and I wouldn't retain them. Not every Latino is an illegal immigrant that's so impoverished they need to resort to crime.
