...Zapotec Indian who has been nominated this year for an Ariel (Mexico's Oscar) as best supporting actress, agrees. "People do have to remember that this is action fiction, not a Maya documentary," she warns. "But I'm frankly surprised and excited about the care they're taking to portray indigenous Mexicans...
...inspire our sympathy for Terrence Howard’s character by showing us just how hard it really is to exploit and abuse women. Its win on Sunday provides a clear example of mainstream America’s willingness to take notice of and uplift music and films that portray black Americans in the most negative possible light.

By conflating all protesters’ views with the simplistic views of a single petition signer with poor spelling and poor grammar, Bronshtein sets up a “straw man” that is that much easier to mock...
