AdAge: Sundance and Super Bowl Speak to Latinos

"It has been a long time coming, but Latino talent, both on-screen and off, are finally breaking out of the molds in which they have been consistently cast. For every drug dealer, maid, whore and illegal immigrant, there are finally a significant number of Latino doctors, lawyers, intellectuals and geeks. For every novela-like tale of down-trodden victims on a rags-to-riches journey, there are finally stories that shed a more three-dimensional light on the lives of Latinos, both factual and fictional.Today, Hispanics in Hollywood can be counted on more than one hand.
So can Latino NFL players and Latino NFL fans."
