Diversity in Jane The Virgin
In the show Jane The Virgin, we follow the struggle of a Latina woman growing in LA, having to deal with family, work, social life, and relationships. As it is on the second season of the show, Jane has gone through much fear, pain, fights, and diversity to try and reach her goal of becoming a writer. Jane The Virgin is more or less a Telenovela a Soap Opera and it involves all type of ethnicity and diversity in people throughout the show and all contradict Jane's life. The show as a Telenovela brings more audiences of different cultures and ethnicity to watch the show s i both conflict with English and Spanish. Jane The Virgin has white actors playing a big part in Jane's life as well as wealth, power, villains, and trouble in paradise with Jane. In the season going on right now Jane had to first deal with her newborn baby being stolen straight from the hospital. Her family which are Mexicans, all react in the same typical way of overreacting, making the scene about the themselves, while the men in Jane's life er father, boyfriend number 1 and boyfriend number 2 not sure about what to do. The diversity in the show is broken when Jane decided to go out and do something about her missing son, regardless of having given birth to him a couple of hours ago. A mother would do anything for her children, but notice how in a show where a Latina mother has to deal with a villian while choosing between two men in her life Typical telenovela model but with a Latin twist of religion, culture, and struggle of raising children in a tight household.
The diversity being shown in the show are the roles of every person. Jane's father just happens to be a Telenovela sar and is constantl out of the house and was not always there for Jane while growing up. Struggling, Jane really did not have a father figure which portrays in many other races as well, but that Mexicans have poor father figures, or are cowards who are never there for their family but just lazy laying around while drinking beer. In conclusion the diversity in Jane The Virgin contradicts and breaks racial profiles as the show proves another side of Latina acting involving real life problems that are shown only in white typical show households, imaginary if so. Jane The Virgin is one of the first Mexican based show winning a Golden Globe Award after its first season and it has influenced and showed diversity in film/acting to many throughout the world. Jane The Virgin will continue to break diversity rules in the show as sh takes stands on who is involved around her life in the show and portraying the loving, caring, genuine, Latina mother, many mistake s loud, obnoxious, rude, and unjustified people Latina women really are.
