Re "A Very White Award Show," by Greg Braxton, Sept. 22: As a Latina actress and academy member, I can personally attest that, on TV, we are basically invisible. This exists even on shows supposedly taking place in Latino-majority cities such as Miami and Los Angeles.
When, infrequently, roles do come up for actors like myself, it's for either "maids" or long-suffering "gang mothers" named "Maria." Great role modeling, huh?
