Besides those who don't accept a Latina as Cinderella, I saw most tend to like Jacinda more. The issue is not that a latina actress was cast as Cinderella. It is that the writers seem to confuse an ethnicity with a personality trait. So are you saying latina characters aren't allowed to be "hotblooded" because that is the stereotype? I understand why it is problematic, but at the same time, that is really how some latina women act (and obviously women of other races as well). I don't think it is fair to force all latina characters to be demure flowers because we don't want to be too stereotypical. Because if that happened, it would be equally problematic. The reference is to the "Fiesty Latina" cliche that sort of happens a but too often. I just think that it was likely preceived that was because of pacing and that we haven't seen the nuances.
