Odessa A'zion sparked backlash after being cast in the role of Zoe Gutierrez, a Latina of Mexican and Jewish roots, in the film adaptation of "Deep Cuts."

The casting choice itself reminds us that Latines continue to be underrepresented in the mainstream media across the board. ⁠ *Correction: The novel was originally published in 2025. ⁠ #OdessaAzion #DeepCuts #LatinaRepresentation #Film
