Interesting article. I know this is about a paricular actress (Alba) and a particular movie, but I'd like to hear everyone's opinions on what they think about this subject since Hollywood does seem to "whitify" actresses, but still sell the same people as "exotic." Also, were John Byrne's statements racist or just honest?

Particularly intriguing excerpt: "When you see Anthony Hopkins hopping around preposterously in greasepaint and a poorly fitting costume, pretending to be Zorro, you are seeing a fleet of Hispanic actors who didn't get a job."
