"I also have a film coming up called Breaking Up, and my part in that was not written for a Latina, and my character is not particularly pretty or sexy or exotic"

This quote by Salma Hayek speaks with the progress that has actually been made in the entertainment industry in regards to representation of minorities. Hayek is proud to be component of a project that is not relying upon stereotypes of Latinas, however instead is casting her in a role that is not specifically created for a Latina. This is a big progression in regards to representation, as it reveals that Latinas can be viewed as more than simply quite, hot, or exotic. It is an indication that Latinas can be seen as complex, multi-dimensional personalities, which they can be seen as greater than simply a stereotype. This quote is a testimony to the progression that has been made in terms of representation, and also it is a tip that there is still even more job to be done.
