<description>&lt;p&gt;This week, Diosa and Mala discuss Latino representation in media, sparked by backlash over white actress Odessa A'zion being cast as a Latina character in an upcoming A24 film. Together, they review a &lt;a href="https://www.mediaimpactproject.org/latinorepresentation.html"&gt;study&lt;/a&gt; conducted by USC's Norman Lear Center, which highlights that Latino-led/Latino-created shows offer a more nuanced representation of Latinidad. (OBVIO!!) They also consider how digital media has lowered the barrier to entry for Latino/Latine talent. Will AI also lower the barrier to entry or is there another risk for bias?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Please note this episode was recorded in early March.

They also consider how digital media has lowered the barrier to entry for Latino/Latine talent. Will AI also lower the barrier to entry or is there another risk for bias?  Please note this episode was recorded in early March.
