| There's a lot to be proud of when it comes to "In the Heights", but that doesn't change the fact that they depicted a version of Washington Heights that was almost entirely light-skinned, non-African Latinx people. The criticisms that they fell short on that matter are valid, and in the case of the friend that I saw the movie with (who is of Afro-Latinx heritage), it diminished her enjoyment of the film. It doesn't mean the movie was a bad movie, but it is something that Miranda et al overlooked when they were building their film. |
