#StillNoLatinas at SNL, but will that ever change?

*Do you think CNN Money is right? The article says that NBC and Saturday Night Live seem oblivious to the protests about Donald Trump hosting SNL this weekend becasue Latinos don’t move the program’s ratings needle. The piece quotes our friend and Taquista Federico Subervi, who says about NBC and SNL “They are not here to have social justice or do a better service for their community. They are there to make money.” What do you say? VL

Amid protests demanding that NBC “Dump Trump” as host of Saturday Night Live this weekend, Latino protesters are also shining a light on another issue: the lack of Hispanic cast members on the show.

While there have only been two Latino men in the history of the show (Fred Armisen and Horatio Sanz), there has never been a Latina. (Update: Noel Wells, who is reportedly part Hispanic, joined the cast in 2013 and remained on the show for one season.)

The show has had Latina hosts, including Sofia Vergara, Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz and Eva Longoria, but lately its Latina characters have been played by the actress Cecily Strong, who is not Latina. Strong’s characters, including the clueless political activist Mimi Morales, have often fallen flat with Latino audiences for playing into crude stereotypes.

But whether demonstrating against the show will actually lead the show’s creator Lorne Michaels to hire more Latinas for the cast is unlikely.
