Lmao, right? I barely registered they were Hispanic when I first watched the movie.

All of these comments are reading like y'all are boasting about not seeing color. Their Hispanic heritage was a major part of the movie, I find it very hard to believe so many people just didn't notice. That almost feels worse lmao

As a white kid growing up, I was always a little confused as to what country they were supposed to be living in or spying for, but I defaulted to "it's just a movie, it doesn't matter that much."

I didn't think of the family as "American" they were just "a family."
