AfterEllen on the L Word
Sarah Warn at AfterEllen has a funny column up about recent news that an actress named Janina Gavankar will play a “smokin’ hot” (so says the Showtime press release) Latina named Papi on next season’s L Word. In addition to noting how Latinas on the show are always described as “smokin’ hot,” she wonders why they again cast a non-Latina for a Latina role (Gavankar is Indian-American). And why name her something silly like Papi? And why not just make the character South Asian? And why is the show so stupid? (That’s us, not AfterEllen.)
