The lack of Latinx stories and representation in Hollywood, both in TV and film, remains a hot-button issue for John Leguizamo. He’s decided to take a stand and snub this year’s Emmy Awards.

“I’m boycotting, ” he tells Yahoo Entertainment Online Cigarettes Store USA . “If you don’t have Latin people, there’s no reason for me to see it. What’s the point? ”

“It’s unbelievable that our stories aren’t being told and there’s one reason for that, ” he explains. “Executives don’t see us, don’t get us — don’t care about us. ”

There are zero nominations for Latinx shows or actors in any of the major categories. “We’re less than one percent Newport Cigarettes Shop

“I’m just dying to see positive Latin stories out there, ” he says.
