By Amrit Kaur and Bela Malhotra, her character on , share a common origin story: their parents wanted them to go into neuroscience.

Pat Saperstein Deputy Editor Sombreros, serapes and maracas, horrible pronunciations, jokes about Mexican stand-offs, and really strange-looking tacos — did the “Mexican Week” episode of “The Great British Baking Show” leave any stereotypical stone unturned? After a similar debacle with Season 11’s “Japanese Week,” the internationally beloved competition series — which streams on Netflix in the U.S. — apparently decided not to learn from its mistakes, and dove headlong into Mexican food. And since the competition is largely to determine who can create the best baked goods, many observers wondered, why were they attempting tacos, anyway? Even before the episode dropped on Oct. 7, the promos featuring sombrero-wearing hosts Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas came under fire from social media commenters — largely from the U.S., where finding a good taco is not as difficult as in the U.K. — who were quick to weigh in on the show’s utter failure to try to understand more than the most obvious characteristics of Mexican food and culture. Even the English-language plural of the word cactus eluded one of the contestants — not to mention the woman whose absolutely wretched try at guacamole sounded more like “glakeemolo.”

Meghan Markle sat down with journalist Lisa Ling and comedian Margarget Cho in an episode titled “The Demystification of Dragon Lady” for her Archetypes podcast.

Nearly half of British adults feel misrepresented in film culture and struggle to relate to the characters they see on screen – due to overused stereotypes and a lack of diversity, research has found.Nearly a third of film fans (30%) have been left offended by a movie cliché – with 29% even refusing to watch a film due to an offensive or outdated stereotype.The poll of 2,000 adults, under the age of 35, found that over half (57%) felt these tropes are overused in films – such as overly flamboyant LGBTQ+ characters, like Damien in the 2004 hit teen comedy, Mean Girls.The research was commissioned by confectionary brand M&Ms as part of its global “FUNd” initiative, designed to champion diversity and inclusion and create a sense of belonging.Femi Kolade, Head of Studies at London Film School, which is part of the initiative, said: “The mainstream film industry has been dominated for too long by a narrative that excludes so many people’s lived experiences, and reduces all of our specific and vibrant diversity to a few standardised, often negative, and always limited representations of who we are today, who we were yesterday, and who we’ll become in the future.“This must change, and this timely research and this important campaign shows yet again how desperate mainstream audiences are to see that change.”Oversexualised women is the most common stereotype young adults feel they see to much in movies – for example Alice Eve in the first Star Trek reboot film, and 1999 rom-com “She’s All That”, which conveys the message that you have to be attractive to be popular.This was followed by females being depicted as weak or too sensitive, and foreign characters’ broken English used for comedy – such as Sacha Baron Cohen in the Borat

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Not long after announcing that the label had signed a computer-generated rapper dubbed FN Meka, Capitol Music Group announced that it is severing ties with the project. The move Tuesday came after Capitol came under fire from activists pointing out that the music perpetuated Black tropes and included the repeated use of the N-word but was actually the work of a non-Black creative team. “CMG has severed ties with the FN Meka project, effective immediately,” the label group said in a statement released Tuesday afternoon. “We offer our deepest apologies to the Black community for our insensitivity in signing this project without asking enough questions about equity and the creative process behind it. We thank those who have reached out to us with constructive feedback in the past couple of days — your input was invaluable as we came to the decision to end our association with the project.”
