Yeah, she looks a LOT more like Renee Montoya than Maggie Sawyer. Supergirl also seems to have taken out the fact that Maggie is a mother, which is a pretty important element of her character.
Unless Alpert's covered in bacon grease, I don't think Hugo can track anything. -

Maggie Sawyer is supposed to be Latina? She's usually been depicted as a blonde haired white woman. Floriana Lima is a lot LESS white looking than Maggie Sawyer has been. I assumed that she was Indian based on her looks.
I think that the bigger controversy is that Maggie in the comics has been portrayed as more butch, whereas Lima is a lot more femme and seems chosen to appeal more to the male gaze.

Yeah.I actually had to google this to see if Maggie had become another nationality/race/ethnicity in one of the 8,347 universe reboots DC has done. She's still looking very Caucasian/blonde to me.
So, you know.people are just complaining to complain. -

Latino is not a race or color, and Italians
are
latinos.
https://www.nas.org/articles/Ask_a_Scholar_What_is_the_True_Definition_of_Latino
"The word
latino
is a Spanish word that has entered the English language. In Spanish, it means someone belonging to the people of ancient Latium, in Italy, whose language was Latin; so the Romans of course were
latinos
. Another and related meaning of
latino
in Spanish refers to someone who belongs to the cultures of the
Rom
ance Languages, that is, those peoples whose language, and to a varying extent, whose culture, too, derive from the language and civilization of Rome, which was latin. Among these Romance languages are Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian. Therefore, all Italians, Frenchmen, Spaniards, Romanians, and Portuguese, as well as all those Latin Americans whose language is Spanish or Portuguese (an English-speaking person from Jamaica would not qualify) are
latinos

Yeah well, U.S. still uses imperial.
Not exactly the best track record there.
You're suffering from delusions of adequacy.

Several different actresses of various ethnic backgrounds probably came in to read with Chyler Leigh and Floriana probably displayed the most on screen chemistry with the Alex actress and was cast in the love interest role.
