Diversity? Not fully awakened

-

Regarding: “Galactic Diversity: ‘ Force’ Now Ref lects Our World” [ Dec. 21]. Rebecca Keegan proclaims, “‘ The Force Awakens’ is, financiall­y and culturally, the largest movie ever to reflect such an inclusive approach to casting.” Really? Accomplish­ed actor Oscar Isaac, who was born in Guatemala, is the only Latino in the cast. Latinos are still virtually missing in action when it comes to Hollywood. May the farce be with you.

Pasadena “Star Wars” is a Mexican

novela on acid. There are Mexican characters like Chuy, Arturito, Leia and Han Solo. But no Mexican actors.
