Does NBC's casting of a non-Latino in a prominent role...

Is anyone else bothered even a little bit that in today's day and age when we have so many superior Latino actors, that NBC couldn't find one quality Latino to be cast as the Cuban American President? I know they can choose to cast whomever they want but I am even more concerned that this has gone by the Latin community without much surprise or much protest! 

At what point do we start to protect our creative community and realize that our kids are not seeing a consistent positive representation of male Latinos on TV or film. Do we need to be reminded of Pacino playing our roles? When do we take notice?
