[RMProdux2008]

daaamn i always thought LDP was mexicano man! he plays mexicanos in most of his movies. aint no trip tho many may be pissed off that ritchie valenz was played by a filipino or selena was played by a puerto ricana but at least those movies raised consciousness of the Mexican American influence in pop culture.

[josemezatorrez]

@GoHardMG I can understand your anger because back in '87 I was pissed off too that they gave the star roles in La bamba to a Filipino and a Puertorican,but then I said to myself that I was proud and happy that the "Real Life" stars were actually accomplished Mexican-Americans and not to just actors playing famous people,you know what I mean?
