Random Moment of Joy

7:00 pm By Jennifer Woodard Maderazo · Movies · 1 Comment

In an effort to get the disturbing lows humans will fall to out of my brain, I surfed youtube for some random joy, and found the following video of Mandy Patinkin singing a traditional queer Latina favorita with the supa hawt Audra McDonald:

The part I found interesting was how Audra stated that she didn’t “look the part.” But what is a Puerto Rican *supposed* to look like? And knowing Latin America’s historical roots of mestizaje, why on earth would there ever be an assumption that a black woman could not be Latina?

Besides, I think she makes a more convincing Maria than Natalie Wood.
