I do so appreciate some Larry Correia snark. I don't think he could fail to be entertaining if he tried. However, his smack down of NPR "looking to manufacture some outrage" over the under-representation of Hispanics in film is not precisely *funny* which makes me think that Correia just might be slightly, actually... annoyed.
When NPR bases their argument on the fact that Jennifer Lopez is not easily recognizable as Hispanic in a movie, you know they've thoroughly jumped the shark. OTOH, you probably already knew that, seeing as we're talking about NPR here.
Larry Correia fisks NPR.
Especially mindboggling... the part where NPR complains that Zoe Saldana played the part of a black person in Star Trek.
More Larry... as I said, he's a compulsively funny guy, but I think he's just a wee bit P.O.'d too.
"When NPR says that some of the Latin actors aren’t “easily recognizable” that means that they aren’t conforming to accepted liberal suburban Ivy League stereotypes. NPR wants Latinos to play beaners in sombreros, hotel maids, or gang bangers… "

"Yes, Latinos, NPR just called you stupid. How DARE you enjoy movies and be entertained? You should totally boycott them to salve some white suburban liberal’s white guilt!Annoying twits put their perpetual outrage ahead of their enjoyment. Everything has to be filtered through their obnoxious white guilt. Meanwhile the rest of planet Earth is throwing piles of money at a movie with a sentient tree and a talking raccoon."
