“Well I’m simply saying, can’t you just wait a while and leave it alone?” Moreno said on the show. “There’s a lot of people who are Puertorriqueños, who are also from Guatemala, who are dark and who are also fair. We are all colors in Puerto Rico. And this is how it is, and it would be so nice if they hadn’t come up with that and just left it alone, just for now. I mean, they’re really attacking the wrong person.” In a new statement posted to Twitter, Moreno acknowledged that she was “clearly dismissive” of dark-skinned Afro-Latinos and the importance of the community’s representation on-screen. “I’m incredibly disappointed with myself. While making a statement in defense of Lin-Manuel Miranda on the Colbert Show last night, I was clearly dismissive of black lives that matter in our Latin community,” Moreno wrote. “It is so easy to forget how celebration for some is lament for others.” Moreno’s statement continued in a thread, in which she praised Miranda’s response to the criticism.
