It bugs me that Alfonso is obviously Latino, played by a Negro

He drives into the black area and is asked "why do you have the magic ticket?" - would you seriously ask that of a black man?

Then he speaks spanish to his wife. He speaks spanish to his son. I haven't met many blacks who speak spanish. There are those who are black in Puerto Rico/Cuba, but they don't look/act like Denzel.

Plus the people he trusts with killing his partner are latino gang bangers.

Oh, and the name Alfonso is latino.

So many things wrong with this post.

A) Black people don't get a "free pass" from gangbangers. In fact, black people hurt and kill one another all the time.

B) Black people can speak Spanish. I'm not shocked you haven't met one, seems like you don't get out much.

C) Black people can collaborate with Latinos.

D) His name isn't Alfonso. Clean out the earwax.

Jesus man, being named Alonzo doesn't make you latino, and by the way, he only spoke to his wife and son with broken-ass spanish, I guess he learned some spanish for his job (learn that *beep* man) and for his family, but not fluently. He is straight up black, and so is Denzel.

No black woman would name her son ALfonso.

That term being acceptable in conversation went out with the 60s.

You're tipping your hand.
