Why was Roma not celebrated as a cultural milestone for latinos the way that Do the Right Thing and Black Panther were for African-Americans, or Crazy Rich Asians for Asian-Americans?

Can't you see how well it is rated? It even has over 100k votes on IMDB. Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.

This is the kind of picture they use for an anti-Hispanic thread on /pol/ along with terminator.fandom.com

Those boys are hot.

A mix of related things:
>Latinos don't clamour for Hollywood representation as much as Black Americans
>Many are decently assimilated into the US industry and some Latin countries have pretty decent film outputs in their own right (namely Mexico and Argentina)
>Mexicans aren't so blindly desperate to see other Mexicans on screen that they'll fawn over every aspect of Roma (compare the media and Black Twitter re. Black Panther)

A year from now no one will remember that movie. Pic related. Do the Right Thing however touches on issues perpetually relevant. Forever, the real life police strangling death of Eric Garner in 2014 mirrored that of Radio Raheem twenty-five years after the movie's release.

Cooper Young
Because it’s gay as fuck
Nolan Price
This, beat me to it. Also, I hate that fucking guy who impregnated the maid then told her to fuck off.
Ian Gomez
It must sucks to be so ugly that you look like a racist joke on your own people. No wonder so many African Americans become criminals. They should watch Beauty and the Beast and learn that look isn't everything.
Jaxson Ross
I don't know, I'm Mexican and it's just a movie, real life is more important.
Logan Moore
Because latinos have other countries that can make movies about them while basket-americans would've to see african movies, making hollywood their last resort to see themselves represented in some relevant media other than sports imho
Tyler Kelly
I don't like using the word "boring" to describe a movie, but it's fucking boring
a movie consisting of 14, ten minute pans doesn't make it good
Gabriel Smith
Roma fucking sucked.if you want a good mexican movie that came out the same year, watch museo
Alexander Gonzalez
why was it bad?
Christian King
Mexicans have more important things to worry about like not getting kidnapped and decapitated.

Because we're not into idiotic PC bullshit and we were the first ones to tear that pedantic crap a new one and the disgusting woman who they kept parading around as a symbol of 'latino' beauty is a living joke today.

Lmao bro, you really think so?

The majority aren't, except for privileged middle class teen whores who are into social media activism. I'm talking about real Mexicans, in Mexico, don't know about the crybaby Chicanos you have in the U.S that play the POC victim card while thinking themselves superior to Mexicans.
If you're asking why chicanos didn't make a fuzz about it, it's because it wasn't made by them and it doesn't reflect their reality. Chicano ain't the same as Mexican.

Brazil did that over a decade ago

Wait it's about latinos, not gyppos? Now I might see it.
Kayden Clark
because we have films that are as good or better. Mexico, Argentina, and Chile have made great films.
Justin Jenkins
Because we don't need to be constantly told we're oppressed and validated by woke white people. Well except chicanos of course.
