"Deviant maids" may have made history with their Latin all issued Sunday, but critics refuse to give up insisting that the representation of Hispanic women show perpetuates stereotypes and "disappointing".
On Wednesday, critics and fans of the series of lifetime, joined host Marc Hill on HuffPost Live to discuss if "Diverted maids" cements stereotyping of Latinas in the United States or extend the cultural diversity of the primetime television.
With five Latino stars that includes the main cast - Edy Ganem, Dania Ramírez, Judy Reyes, Ana Ortiz and Roselyn Sánchez - the show has been praised by some in the Hispanic community of cultural advancement. However, the series, created by Marc Cherry ("Desperate Housewives") and Executive produced by actress Eva Longoria, received a series of reactions prior to its official release on June 23.
"I think the biggest problem is that unfortunately because this is the only way that Latinas are represented, this stereotype has become reality for many Americans", consultant of media Galina Espinoza said Hill during the segment, referring to the work of the characters as housemaids for Beverly Hill's richest residents. "And this was an opportunity for someone who is a leader in the community [Longoria] is really to show that Latinas have today and show us as not." And it is, I don't know if I would call it a missed opportunity, which is certainly disappointing. "
The demonstration, as editor of entertainment Lee Hernandez, say that works of the characters do their less important stories within the community.
"I think that when you say that Latinas are only servants or maids Latina playing or we cannot be something better, I think there is really a lot of snobbery, tied already say that some knew a lot of maids and know much of ladies," said Lee Hill. "What I'm saying is that do you not tell their stories?"
In response to those who support "Bred deviants" because it presents Latin talent for the first time in prime-time, author Alisa Valdes rejects with his own prior experience working with life. Valdes said the process of producing and writing a show based on his book "The Dirty Girls Social Club," a novel about six Latin professionals living in Boston.
"" I was told that the pilot was not credible because it reads as if it was "me and my friends." And it must be more 'Latin'. Would he said ' lead characters are Latin, more want to?' and she told me "will have doing something I know what, as women in black", "Valdes said Hill.""Do this is exactly what she told me, ' and I told him what?' and she told me ' can we please open the show with the girls discussing if to date men in prison because I know that you guys speak over things like that '."
Valdes criticized not only to creators and producers of the series for being unable to present a less stereotypical image of Latina but questioned the motives behind the support that some Hispanic groups have given "Bred diverted".
"It's absolutely despicable that these vigilante groups called Hispanics defend this network, disgusting that they could put a show on the air about professional women," continues Valdés. "Eva Longoria is cynically choosing to play by the rules that exist. I ask a group of media that are here if you ever have received money from Eva Longoria."
Executive Vice President of the National Hispanic Media Coalition Inez Gonzalez chimed respond to Valdes.
"I'm very offended with innuendo and contempt by 27 years of civil rights."
