Are Latinos treated differently?
Main idea or argument
Latinos are treated differently
Supporting ideas and
evidence used
(How many reasons are
provided? What types of
evidence are used to
support the reasons?)
Supporting ideas:
1.
Only a handful of American Latino actors have ever been
nominated for a movie's highest acting honor
2. It's clear that an illusion of inclusion associated with Latinos has
permeated Hollywood over the past decade
Evidence (i.e., statistics, quotes, figures):
1. There's also the fact that no American Latina filmmaker has
ever been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Director,
in part because they're rarely seen at the helm of the "prestige"
films that Oscar voters are usually drawn to.
2. The lavishly decorated Mexican directors Alfonso Cuarón,
Alejandro González Iñárritu and Guillermo del Toro —
collectively known as the "Three Friends" — are a fragile BandAid for the industry, heralding their achievements as proof that
everyone who fits their ideas. people latin people are celebrating
Conclusion
(Does the article call for
action, provide solutions
to the problem, or
restate the main ideas?)
Latinos should not be treated differently
