"Jennifer Lopez as Selena Let me repeat that! Jennifer Lopez as Selena! This was yet another example of Hollywood ignorance, making Latino groups interchangeable despite there being huge differences. As a Spanish-speaking Southwesterner, I say that the stereotypically Nuyorican Jennifer Lopez can't pass as a Chicana. Fuck, I'm half Slavic and I've been told that I'm more convincing as a Mexican!
