The story about Latinos in America is an old one, and most of it isn’t true. It was created generations ago by Whites, to demonize Mexicans, and the racist caricature of Latinos as a menacing foreign monolith persists today.


White gatekeepers in media, art and entertainment have long excluded or misrepresented Latinos, particularly Indigenous and Black Latinos. Fighting these old falsehoods is beginning to transform media and cultural power structures.


“How Latinos Can Win the Culture War, First, white gatekeepers have to stop hoarding power”. By Elizabeth Méndez Berry and Mónica Ramírez.


Ms. Méndez Berry is a journalist, cultural critic and editor. Ms. Ramírez is the founder of the Latinx House, and the author of the “Dear Sisters” letter that helped inspire the Time’s Up movement.
