. RitaMoreno apologises for defending Lin_Manuel amid controversy over InTheHeights' lack of Afro-Latinx representation:
creator acknowledged that the film “fell short” of representing the diversity of the Washington Heights community – and said she was “truly sorry” for his failure.because I didn’t feel seen,” the statement read. “And over the past 20 years all I wanted was for us – ALL of us – to feel seen.
“I can hear the hurt and frustration over colorism, of feeling unseen in the feedback. I hear that, without sufficient dark-skinned Afro-Latino representation, the world feels extractive of the community we wanted so much to represent with pride and joy.” The statement continued: “In trying to paint a mosaic of this community, we fell short. I’m truly sorry. I’m learning from the feedback, I thank you for raising it, and I’m listening. I’m trying to hold space for both the incredible pride in the movie we made and be accountable for our shortcomings.
“Thank you for your honest feedback. I promise to do better in my future projects, and I’m dedicated to the learning and evolving we all have to do to make sure we are honouring our diverse and vibrant community.”Sign up for the latest news and must-read features from Stylist, so you don't miss out on the conversation.
