We watched The Matrix Revolutions last night.

Again, I didn't spot any Hispanic/Latino characters. Did you? Were there some in the first movie? Do I have some strange subconscious filter on? Am I just imagining an anti-Hispanic/Latino sentiment?

In this last movie, there were Indian characters, three to be exact... and, for some reason, their being Indian seemed a bit contrived. As if the ethnicity of those characters was an afterthought, perhaps in a last-minute attempt to represent/acknowledge/reach that growing minority segment. I mean, for me it was kinda like, "Hello! Indian people. Familiar accents. Like the Indian people I work with. What are they doing in this movie, and what are the Hispanics/Latinos doing not in this movie?"
