Spigger actor doesn't like "machismo," like it could ever find any

In the Heights star Anthony Ramos has always been proud of his Puerto Rican roots. Now, the actor and musician is opening up even further about his own experience of being Latino in Hollywood and how it’s impacted his self-care practices.

In a new interview with actress Becky G, Ramos speaks on why the “machismo” mindset is hurting men of color, his journey towards finding therapy and how he believes the industry tokenizes Latino performers.

“A lot of men grow up in homes [where] there's this machismo kinda thing that we gotta have or that we learn that we need to have,” Ramos explained. “You know, you gotta protect, you gotta be the man of the house, or whatever. But it's like, what even is that?”

That’s why he says he’s “leaned into” therapy more recently, which he credits for teaching him “patience.” An even bigger outlet for Ramos, he added, is music.

So there you have it: a nigger doesn't want to be the "man" of the house, like it could know anything about that anyway. It couldn't find manhood if manhood was a gold nugget shoved up its latest DL boo's nigger ass.

That nigger isn't "Latino." It's just a nigger with a lot more than one drop in it.
