Jennifer Lopez Admits She’s Missed Out On Roles Because She’s Latin//

Jennifer Lopez is opening up about diversity in Hollywood, and candidly revealing //
that there are certain roles she’s hasn’t been considered for due to her Hispanic heritage.//
Lopez made the admission in a candid new interview with NBC Latino, where Jennifer spoke openly//
about the struggles of being a Latina actress in Hollywood. It’s a difficult situation,” //
Lopez said of Hollywood’s current lack of diversity, which recently hit the headlines //
after the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences were slammed for not nominated //
actors of diverse ethnicity in major acting categories for the 88th Academy Awards. //
“[It’s] something that has been going on for a long time,” Jennifer said.//
Lopez confessed in the candid new interview that she’s “struggled” with diversity throughout her lengthy career,//
which first began when she was cast as a Fly Girl dancer on the series In Living Color in the early 1990s,//
and revealed that there are certain roles that she’s missed out on because she’s a Latina actress.//
“I am a Latin so there are certain roles that I’m not considered for and my name never even comes up,”//
Jennifer Lopez candidly admitted. However, Jennifer spoke more highly of television //
as a whole in the interview and praised the small screen in particular for its recent strides in diverse casting.//
“You’re seeing more diversity on television that reflects society,” Lopez revealed, //
admitting that she feels television “has always been at the forefront of pushing those boundaries.”//
But despite admitting that there are some roles she’s not even considered for due to her Latin heritage,//
Lopez admitted in the interview that she’s proud of her roots//
and would never hide her background in order to get a role on the silver or small screen.//
“I’ve never ever tried to hide the fact that I was a Puerto Rican from the Bronx.//
Everybody knew it right off the bat,” Jennifer said, “It’s not something I felt would be a detriment,//
it made me special and who I am. While Lopez is opening up about diversity in 2016,//
Jennifer previously got candid about her heritage in an in-depth interview//
with People En Español ten years ago in 2006, where Jennifer confessed//
that she’s proud to be a poster girl for the Latin community and is working hard //
to bring more Hispanic workers into the industry. It’s harder for us [Hispanics]. It definitely is,” //
Jennifer candidly confessed in 2006 revealed that she’s knows//
that she “represent[s] a whole culture” due to her celebrity status. //
“That’s why I’m more happy now because I’m more conscious of the choices I make,” Lopez said//
citing her production company, Nuyorican Productions, as one of her best career choices to date.//
