Hollywood's 'digital wall' against diversity
Felix Sanchez criticizes the lack of diversity in Hollywood, particularly in the 2016 Oscar nominations, highlighting the underrepresentation of Latinos, Asians, blacks, and other minorities. Despite Latinos' significant contribution to box office sales, they are rarely cast in lead roles. Sanchez points out that only a few Hispanics have won Oscars in the award's history. He identifies three main issues: an outdated black/white paradigm of diversity, the Academy's membership determination process, and the role of studios and agents in perpetuating the lack of diversity. He cites studies showing the low percentage of Latino leads and the economic power of the Hispanic community, arguing that Hollywood has built a 'digital wall' that excludes Latinos, despite their substantial investment in the industry.
Latin music and TV shows are breaking cultural barriers
Felix Sanchez discusses the significance of the Spanish-language song 'Despacito (Remix)' topping the Billboard Hot 100 chart and its cultural impact during the Trump presidency. He highlights the importance of Latino representation in music and television, citing shows like 'East Los High', 'Jane the Virgin', and 'One Day at a Time' as examples of progress in Latino visibility. Sanchez also mentions the contributions of Latino actors in various TV series and the evolution of Spanish-language content on networks like Univision and Telemundo. He emphasizes the need for continued inclusion of Latinx characters and storylines in media, and the positive trend of Latinx actors gaining recognition and opportunities in the industry.
Opinion: Trump's comments on Mexico, Latinos find loud rebuke
Felix Sanchez criticizes Donald Trump's derogatory comments about Mexico and Latinos made during his presidential campaign announcement. Sanchez applauds Univision for cutting ties with Trump by not airing the Miss USA Pageant, which Trump partly owns, and calls for NBC and the GOP to follow suit. He highlights the unity among Latinos in rejecting Trump's rhetoric and warns of the political consequences for institutions that continue to associate with him. Sanchez also references the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda's request for NBC to sever ties with Trump. The article emphasizes the potential impact of the Latino community's response through media engagement and voting power.
Call it 'Latino Spring'
Felix Sanchez discusses the backlash against Donald Trump's anti-Mexican remarks, highlighting the collective action of Latinos through social media, which led to significant corporate responses. Univision, NBC, and Televisa severed ties with Trump, and Macy's dropped his merchandise after a petition on MoveOn.org gained 700,000 signatures. Latino celebrities and artists publicly denounced Trump, and Latino organizations mobilized online. The article criticizes the tepid responses from presidential candidates like Jeb Bush and the support from Ted Cruz, contrasting them with the strong stance taken by Univision. Sanchez warns that presidential campaigns are at risk of alienating Latino voters if they fail to understand and engage with the Latino community's reaction to such incidents.
Trump's trip to Mexico: A missed opportunity?
Felix Sanchez comments on Donald Trump's visit to Mexico and his subsequent immigration speech. Trump's meeting with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto was seen as a strategic move, potentially elevating his presidential stature by standing alongside a world leader. The meeting was praised for its optics, suggesting equality between the US and Mexico. However, Trump's later speech was criticized for its xenophobic tone, undermining the progress made earlier. Sanchez acknowledges Peña Nieto's courage in confronting Trump's negative portrayal of Mexicans and Mexican-Americans. The article also touches on the potential impact of Trump's actions on different Latino voter segments in the US and the broader implications for US-Mexico relations and trade agreements.
Critical Readings: Simón
The article is a review of Miqui Otero's novel 'Simón,' which has garnered significant attention in the literary world despite being from a non-famous author and a modest publishing house. The reviewer, Caronte, approached the book with high expectations and was not disappointed, finding the novel to be intense, tender, painful, fun, and full of life. The narrative follows the life of a boy from Barcelona, touching on themes of childhood, youth, adulthood, loss of innocence, and survival in a challenging world. The book is seen as a bildungsroman that captures the essence of Barcelona and its working-class people. Despite some initial pacing issues, the reviewer praises Otero's unique style and the novel's balance between tradition and freshness.

Health literacy, social support, and glycemic control in older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus in a primary care unit
The study examines the relationship between health literacy, social support, and glycemic control in older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus at UMF 1. Conducted from April to December 2022, it involved 417 patients and used the HLSEU–Q16 instrument for health literacy and the MOS questionnaire for social support. Results indicated that 57.79% had inadequate health literacy, 62.82% had insufficient social support, and only 17.98% had controlled glycemic levels. A significant association was found between lower glycemic control and both lower health literacy and social support, confirming their impact on diabetes management.
