The biggest minority in the US with almost no visibility in media and Hollywood movies. Kind of weird if you ask me as an outsider from Sweden. The latino community has great potential.
Part of the reason is that about half are foreigners and among the native born, most are still very young. So this might change in one or two decades. Maybe.
we were and been in every war plus kicked out of our own land just to be asked to come back and work it then get kicked out again the reson we aren't betrayed in the media or Hollywood is because we have our own movies and music exc..and we don't bitch every time we are insulted we keep going with a smile fuck it
Just recently we have been taking over Hollywood, we now have directors, producers, and actors making award winning acts and movies. Guillermo Del Toro makes bad ass movies.
irphn irphn: You know very well that what you probably mean by "your people" are in the great majority of cases recent descendants of people who were not crossed by the border, assuming you mean the border changes in the Mexican American war.
First thing worth watching on Netflix in a while. European here, I tend to hear things about black history, but had no idea how little I knew about the Latin side of things until watching his show.
I was just about to say the same thing...Wow, we're was Latin history when I was in high school reading about all these wars. It's one of those read it yourself at the library.
Hugely underrated John has been a fixture for over 20 years! From Stand-up Comedy, Hollywood Blockbusters and Music Video-clips he's done it all! LEGEND!
I’m a Latin female and I was never taught anything in school about our contributions to U.S. history and when I traveled to Mexico City I learned our great contributions by visiting great seminars and museums.
@xRyalsx first off France Italy Spain Portugal and Romanians are European second we are Latin American I looked this up since you said so here it is Latin America where the Spanish Portuguese French language prevail which is : Mexico,Most of central and south America,and In the Caribbean Dominican republic, Haiti,and Puerto rico by the way we aren't wanna be Latins we were conquered by spainards and forced there culture on us which is why we speak Spanish we are of Latin descent so yes fool were still Latin I know Latin started on the other side but you brought it here forced it on us if you run our blood test we have Latin decent in our fucking blood so there you go sir
I always found him to be super talented. Spawn. Everything he's been in. Diverse in genre. Just an excellent actor. Gives all of himself to the role. I really missed him. I'm happy to see he's back.
He's amazing! So educated, even if he seems to be friendly to the people, he's well aware of the Latin Culture and how politicians constantly offend or ignore them. I'm glad to know that at least someone in Hollywood can tell the Latin America Story.
Stefany MM "So educated"? GODDAMN YOU SOUND RASCIST AS FUCK!!!!! Do you think he "talks well too"?!?? Are you such an ignoramus that you think what you said was a compliment, and not an insult?! STFU and learn a thing or two, you ignorant POS.
he really isn't tho your trying to make something racist that isn't stop being the pc police dude he was pointing out he is educated when its pretty obvious that the majority of people are unintelligent/uneducated and based on your comment you seem to be one of them you jump down peoples neck when you dont know what tf your talking about fucking keyboard warrior u deserve to get your ass beat

AFRICANS BELONG IN AFRICA wha? who you are you responding to? Just a wierd comment, & Africans are not allowed to travel the globe? nevermind just finish your meth and clean up that mc donalds.😎
"There is no Hispanic Race, there's Hispanic CULTURE". Ah! Finally, someone said it. There's actually many Hispanic cultures, but it's fine. That means the world isbgetting a little bit less moron. Also, I greatly appreciate the fact that John abstains from saying "latinos/latinas" and just says "Latin people". That Latinos and Latinas thing is so Hollywood, I don't know why it got popular, sounds horrid to my Latin ears
Most hispanics in the new world are som kind of meztisos which I dont mean as a derogatory term as it might be used in some countries. Not even iberians are a race which would be the hispanic race if there was such a thing. Latin people should include french italian portuguese and Romanian speaking people aswell?
And mind that latinos and hispanics are not the same. Brazilians, for example, are latinos but not hispanics, as they do not speak spanish (portuguese is their language).
I"m moving to AZ. I love Mexicans but don't know what to call them if not "Hispanic" or Latina etc....Don't call Latinos or Latinas or Hispanics? Then what?
Regular fucking people. Don't think of them as Mexicans, think of them as what they are, fellow Americans. Naturally born or immigrated, you're American when you're here and you pay taxes
randall anthony ..You don’t know what Hispanic means, do you? Hispanic isn’t a nationality. It’s a term used to describe people from numerous nations and cultures. And a lot of American culture, and America’s land itself, is the result of Hispanic influence.
randall anthony No, I mean Hispanic. Spanish is included in that, but a lot of our country came about from the Spanish culture mixing with native cultures, and the native treasures financing a lot of America.
@@crowz6247 very little.his country became great because of its northern amd western european peoples and cultures.the great american work ehic was from the puritans.the protestant christain ethics and values made it unique. all central and south american cultures lack that.

He's so right about bullies. They like to take their intellectual laziness and stupidity out on the kids who actually want to learn. But those kids are smart enough to use the bully's own stupidity against them. Hard lesson learned, but very effective.
Judi O'Regan I use t be a bully, this is true, not out of jealousy but because it was funny.

John Leguizamo is an amazing comedian . I used to watch him on To Wong foo and his voice on Ice age is unmistakable. True talent underutilized by hollywood's racist machine
Truth be told though, we have made a lot of strides in recent decades. Gael Garcia Bernal, Eugenio Derbez, Salma Hayek, Alejandro Inarritu's Oscar for Revenant, Guillermo Del Toro's success, etc.
He was on one of the other late shows not long ago. I absolutely love this guy. I wish he had been around more often during the early 2000s. Just brilliant and underrated.
oh I remember Leguizamo 's older one man stories/specials from long back, he is a great performer and storyteller! hope this new one will be out on dvd/streaming platforms cause I can't think of affording tickets.
i literally got all the books he reccommended in his special... the rotten tomato reviews are hilarious in saying that he was spreading mis information but. every single book he referenced.. backed every single word... love the special!!
What's concerning is that I have kept searching for fresh and new stand ups since 2018 on Netflix and RUclips and have NEVER been recommended his act until I typed the whole thing in the search bar. Why is he being repressed? His special could by itself be an Oscar winning movie in terms of script, direction and acting. Not only is he an intellectual, he's also one of the most talented in the field right now. Top-notch actor, incredibly versatile and truly a PERFORMER of the highest order.
Yes, maybe because he claimed he's half Puerto Rican when we Colombians know he's not, born and raised in Colombia to 100% Colombian parents, came to America by age 11 or 12.
He was never Puerto Rican, this dude has a identity crisis. His own biological dad was interviewed to clarify the lie. ruclips.net/video/PZu_O3jys0g/видео.html
The man is incredible, extraordinarily talented! He gets so much into his character he's sometimes unrecognizable. He becomes the character he portrays! I'm mystified as to why he's not a bigger star.
I'm SO glad I watched his Netflix special! Funny and sad at the same time... but VERY eye opening AND educational! There are too many who would prevent the world from knowing the truth, we all need to educate ourselves!
I'm a resident in this beautiful country. Was born in Mexico and the people in this country have only been but amazing to me. My life is much better than what I had back in the country I was born. I believe my grandfather when he told me no matter where you go you will always listen to the tune you carry in your heart. Is not the place or the people that make the experience is your heart and your mind.
He's Colombians literally their some of the most watered down peoples in South America and they make from of Mexicans because Mexicans look Native American.
I was fortunate to see him in Los Angeles thank you sir... a gift from my three beautiful cousins..... who all graduated from USC the right way not buying the influence of others or deceiving others.....
Christ, say "Latino". The Latin people already claimed that name lol - I came here expecting to learn about the language or its speakers way back when.
John is a fraud and gaining profit off Mexican American History Chicano Literally the South West was Mexican territory built by Mexican Americans. Nothing to do with other latin countries .
John is right. Best Colbert interview I have seen. Thanks, Stephen Colbert! Having lived in South and Central American for many years, I must say that the history is fascinating. Americans just need to save time for reading about it.
Alex Boricua you mean white Spaniard Puerto Rican's which in my opinion they are consider not Hispanics in my opinion thoses were different type of ppl
Alberto M/ Actually Spaniards are Hispanics Alberto M. The word Hispanic derives from Hyspania a kingdom joint by many crowns a shit load of years ago, nowadays it's called Espana in Spanish and Spain in English. Hispanics are many colors of skin, Latin Americans are native to the Americas like north, Central and South America. So there are a lot of possibilities that we where in battle with the ignorant Englishman that call them self "Americans".
Alberto M You do realize that 1812 is very far past the time colonization by the early Spanish that arrived on the island. The treaty of grace of 1815 actually replaced the small number of Spanish inhabitants, although they where the majority at the time the population was actually small the treaty saw thousands of other Europeans, Asians and Arabs replace the Spanish. technically a true Boricua would a native which where about five to six different groups that formed the Taino kingdom. Today we still call ourselves Boricuas in respect to our indigenous roots but Puerto Rican would respect for our tri lateral culture.
Not only in 1812 but also in the American revolution. During the American Revolutionary War, Spain lent the rebelling colonists the use of its ports in Puerto Rico, through which flowed financial aid and arms for their cause. An incident occurred in the coast of Mayagüez, in 1777, between two Continental Navy ships, the Eudawook and the Henry, and a Royal Navy warship, HMS Glasgow. Both American ships were chased by the larger and more powerful Glasgow. The American colonial ships were close to the coast of Mayagüez; members of the Puerto Rican militia of that town, realizing that something was wrong, signaled for the ships to dock at the town's bay. After the ships docked, the crews of both ships got off and some Mayagüezanos boarded and raised the Spanish flag on both ships. The commander of the Glasgow became aware of the situation and asked the island's governor, Jose Dufresne to turn over the ships. Dufresne refused and ordered the British warship out of the Puerto Rican dock. The governor of Louisiana, Bernardo de Gálvez, was named Field Marshal of the Spanish colonial army in North America. In 1779, Galvez and his troops, composed of Puerto Ricans and people from other Spanish colonies, distracted the British from the revolution by capturing Pensacola, the capital of the British colony of West Florida and the cities of Baton Rouge, St. Louis and Mobile. The Puerto Rican troops, under the leadership of Brigadier General Ramón de Castro, helped defeat the British and Indian army of 2,500 soldiers and British warships in Pensacola. Galvez and his multinational army also provided the Continental Army with guns, cloth, gunpowder and medicine shipped from Cuba up the Mississippi River. General Ramón de Castro, who was Galvez's Aide-de-camp in the Mobile and Pensacola campaigns, became the appointed governor of Puerto Rico in 1795. Also hundreds of puertoricans volunteer to fight and joint Washington forces and the continental Army.
@@tico1289 are you typing that word and you STILL don't understand the connotations of it ? Here. I'll type it too. Hispanics. hi SPANICS. Do you get it now? The various peoples who are now included in the term Hispanics arose out of the colonization of the "New World" by Spanish ((and Spanish financed(Columbus was Italian)) explorers.
This dude has longevity. He keeps reinventing and creating a platform for himself. I'm looking forward to seeing this show!

john is 💯 underrated.
If you havent PLEASE see one of his movies
*To Wong Fu Love Julie Newmar*
I have appreciated him and glad to see he is doing well.
@Michael Zavala lol I was honestly thinking when he said see one of his movies, "just not the pest!" I love his old stand ups and other movies though.

John is right. Best Colbert interview I have seen. Thanks, Stephen Colbert! Having lived in South and Central American for many years, I must say that the history is fascinating. Americans just need to save time for reading about it.
Yeap that’s true .. Puertorricans really where in the war of 1812 ..
Alex Boricua you mean white Spaniard Puerto Rican's which in my opinion they are consider not Hispanics in my opinion thoses were different type of ppl
Alberto M/ Actually Spaniards are Hispanics Alberto M. The word Hispanic derives from Hyspania a kingdom joint by many crowns a shit load of years ago, nowadays it's called Espana in Spanish and Spain in English. Hispanics are many colors of skin, Latin Americans are native to the Americas like north, Central and South America. So there are a lot of possibilities that we where in battle with the ignorant Englishman that call them self "Americans".

You do realize that 1812 is very far past the time colonization by the early Spanish that arrived on the island. The treaty of grace of 1815 actually replaced the small number of Spanish inhabitants, although they where the majority at the time the population was actually small the treaty saw thousands of other Europeans, Asians and Arabs replace the Spanish. technically a true Boricua would a native which where about five to six different groups that formed the Taino kingdom. Today we still call ourselves Boricuas in respect to our indigenous roots but Puerto Rican would respect for our tri lateral culture.
Not only in 1812 but also in the American revolution.
During the American Revolutionary War, Spain lent the rebelling colonists the use of its ports in Puerto Rico, through which flowed financial aid and arms for their cause. An incident occurred in the coast of Mayagüez, in 1777, between two Continental Navy ships, the Eudawook and the Henry, and a Royal Navy warship, HMS Glasgow. Both American ships were chased by the larger and more powerful Glasgow. The American colonial ships were close to the coast of Mayagüez; members of the Puerto Rican militia of that town, realizing that something was wrong, signaled for the ships to dock at the town's bay. After the ships docked, the crews of both ships got off and some Mayagüezanos boarded and raised the Spanish flag on both ships. The commander of the Glasgow became aware of the situation and asked the island's governor, Jose Dufresne to turn over the ships. Dufresne refused and ordered the British warship out of the Puerto Rican dock.
The governor of Louisiana, Bernardo de Gálvez, was named Field Marshal of the Spanish colonial army in North America. In 1779, Galvez and his troops, composed of Puerto Ricans and people from other Spanish colonies, distracted the British from the revolution by capturing Pensacola, the capital of the British colony of West Florida and the cities of Baton Rouge, St. Louis and Mobile. The Puerto Rican troops, under the leadership of Brigadier General Ramón de Castro, helped defeat the British and Indian army of 2,500 soldiers and British warships in Pensacola. Galvez and his multinational army also provided the Continental Army with guns, cloth, gunpowder and medicine shipped from Cuba up the Mississippi River. General Ramón de Castro, who was Galvez's Aide-de-camp in the Mobile and Pensacola campaigns, became the appointed governor of Puerto Rico in 1795.
Also hundreds of puertoricans volunteer to fight and joint Washington forces and the continental Army.
@@tico1289 are you typing that word and you STILL don't understand the connotations of it ?
Here. I'll type it too.
Hispanics.
hi SPANICS.
Do you get it now?
The various peoples who are now included in the term Hispanics arose out of the colonization of the "New World" by Spanish ((and Spanish financed(Columbus was Italian)) explorers.
