Everyone discriminates... it's called personal preference. Hollywood discriminates towards certain kinds of films over others, and certain kinds of filmmakers over others. What I was saying was that if one Latino makes a breakaway movie, and another Latino makes a breakaway movie, and another... soon Hollywood will be making nothing <I>but</I> Latino films and everyone else will find themselves discriminated against... and fairly, because Hollywood's personal preference is to go where the money is.

People who say it's not there are just as blind as those who blame it for everything. My 2 cents.<BR/><BR/>-AnthonyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
