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.”

Get the Hectorizationmug. He's a narcissist that never actually learns from his mistakes, barely has any real friends because he sucks that bad and is fake af. He's overall really bitchy and pathetic, constantly seeking external validation. Hector also likes to talk about how feminist, mature and progressive he is. But really, he just mindlessly retweets basic takes on Twitter to keep up with appearances and pat himself on the back, and then acts like a misogynist piece of shit. To him, every girl that is not either quiet or extremely nice to him is a "bitch” and “exaggerated”. Also, he loves being friends with fascists and people that generally suck, then talking shit about them behind their back, and then continue to act as though he loves them. He sucks as a person and everyone who has the misfortune to meet him should run far, far away.
He is whiny and pathetic from top to bottom, unfunny and has a recycled personality.

Did you hear what Hector said? He's so fucking dumb, it's straight up impossible to stand being in the same room as him.
X : Hector why did you just yell at that girl?
Hector: Well, she's a bitch that doesn't do everything I want her to.
God, Hector is so annoying he just repeats things people found funny five months ago over and over, he doesn't even have his own sense of humor, also his music taste is pure shit! No wonder he hangs with people who make racist jokes.
