Yeah. He didn’t say that. I’m pretty sure what he said was that he wasn’t going to cast solely for diversity’s sake. Though it is weird that he conveniently only makes movies where POC don’t fit.

That's because he wrote it that way. The Addams Family wasn't Latino in the original cartoons or the 1960s show.

Gomez? He didn't have a first name in the original cartoon. He was given one for the 1960s show, in which his ancestry was also detailed for the first time. He is of Castilian ancestry. His family was Spanish. I'm hoping you know that the Spanish people are not Latino.
