Buffy Goes Latin
I have joked for years about the scarcity of Hispanic characters on the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer -- a thing that seems especially frustrating when you consider that the show is set in California, a state in which Hispanics are not exactly uncommon.
Yet I did not realize how bad the situation was on that show until I came across this site and I realized that my first reaction was not so much "that few?" but rather "that many?".
Yet more proof that we might as well take a cue from Ray Bradbury and start writing our own stories because it is not likely that they are going to get told by anybody else. Especially Joss Whedon.
