• Spanish writer Frank Ariza concieved of the idea for Tacowood, a story about a Mexican single mother who runs a taco stand in Mexico city and who dreams of becoming a Hollywood actress


• Ariza hired Paz Vega, also a Spaniard, to play the lead character


• This isn't the first time Vega has played a Mexican immigrant. She also did so in the garbage film Spanglish which OP didn't see because it looked dumb and racist


• Ariza and Vega released a statement praising themselves on being inclusive (Op note: in deciding which countries to colonize? Which cultures to rob?) "Making a more inclusive cinema, focusing on minorities and fairly representing the society in which we live is a responsibility of everyone who works in this industry. That is why I feel extremely excited to join MGM and put my voice at the service of this beautiful initiative that will generate great opportunities for the Latin community."
