A television personality for the Mexican-based Televisa network is facing strong criticism after dressing up in 'brownface' and wearing a prosthetic nose to make fun of 'Roma' star Yalitza Aparicio.
"It's disgusting. I'm kind of shaken up about it," said Jennie Luna, a Chicana/o Studies professor at California State University Channel Islands in Camarillo, who studies indigenous populations in Mexico."This just shows how far we have to go and how far Mexico has to go."
Aparicio, who is from the Mexican state of Oaxaca, faced racist attacks online and scorn from some Mexican actors. However, she also found strong support among Mexican-American women in the U.S. who identified with her indigenous roots. "The Mexican elite disposition has always portrayed indigenous people as funny and ugly," Nericcio said."Networks like Televisa profit from this."Rosales defended her actions, posted photos of herself in blackface and said she parodies people of all races.
