Note from the publisher: Latino Coating is a prevalent issue in the realm of Hispanic marketing, where superficial marketing strategies attempt to sprinkle Latino elements onto products, campaigns, or entertainment without a genuine understanding or respect for Latino culture. According to Marco Vega, co-founder of Creyentes, a leading multicultural marketing agency, Latino Coating is like getting a trophy for a game you didn't play.
It might look cool, but it doesn't feel right because you didn't earn it.
Essentially, Latino Coating is a form of cultural appropriation or exploitation that seeks to capitalize on Latino identity for marketing purposes without genuinely valuing or respecting the culture. It's like whitewashing, greenwashing, or rainbow washing, but it preys on Latino identity—offering a mere illusion of inclusivity by adding Latino elements on the surface.
