Nearly ever role she had during her short period of popularity in the late 70s and early 80s was as a Black woman. She’s in fucking Roots for goodness sakes.
She’s Latina and I don’t think she’s even Afro Latina.
Why was Irene Cara allowed to play a Black woman?

[quote]She’s Latina
I didn't know this. I always bought her as a black chick. In fact I don't think I even thought about it much.

She was called Coco Hernandez in Fame. That's a Latina name. What are you talking about?

Because it was the 70’s and 80’s. Back then people didn’t care about things like that.

Who would allow a person to play another race? Shocking!

Same with the Dominican Republic denizens. They’re all Afro-Latino and mixed.

^^thats incorrect, most cubans are 100% white. (about 65% of them)
Irene, however, is very clearly afro latina.

The Cubans that stayed after Castro took over are mostly black or mixed race, [R12]. The intellectuals, doctors, lawyers, business owners who left were mainly Caucasian. The Cuban leaders before and after revolution were not Afro-Latino.

If you actually watched Fame, she states she's both Latina and Black. Puerta Rican if I recall.
