When I became an actress I quickly realize that the world liked their latinos to look Italian. Not like me. So I wasn’t going up for Latina parts. I was going up for African American parts. […] Regardless of the fact that I spoke the language better and understood the culture better, those weren’t the parts that…I could take seriously. Suddenly you have to explain why I look how I look. And then it gets complicated. And nobody wants complicated.

Gina Torres | Black & Latino

Oh Gina Torres.

I’m sorry, my mind is not understanding having to “explain” looking like this goddess.  The explanation is “she is fucking better than you and always will be so give her all the parts and kindly fuck off, kthxbye”

Neroon, yes to everything you said.
