Hectorization

noun | hec·tor·i·za·tion

Definition:
The repetitive Hollywood practice of casting Latino actors—especially men—in limited, stereotypical roles such as gang members, ex-cons, or street thugs, often under the name "Hector." Characterized by typecasting that reduces diverse Latino identities to generic criminal tropes, regardless of the actor’s range or the story’s depth.
Example 1:

“Did you see the new crime show? Three Latino characters. All named Hector. All dead by episode two. Total Hectorization.”

Example 2:

“I love this actor, but every time he gets a role it’s another Hectorized script — no depth, no family, just tattoos and a Glock.”

Example 3:

“Can we get a Latino doctor, lawyer, or astronaut on screen? Enough with this Hectorization already.”
