Thanks to the success of the series of The House of Flowers, from the director Manolo Caro, we have been able to get to know more about Cecilia Suárez who has previously collaborated with the director, and opened the doors of Mexico to the Spanish actor Paco Leon.
The series had 3 seasons and is currently promoting the new film, which will be released on June 23; both actors share a great friendship since the first filming of the series (where they are a couple) and that is why they are sharing videos together to promote the new film.
Through the Instagram account the actress published a video to promote the premiere of the film that says “Together again this 23-JUNE. The House of Flowers, the movie “, where she is accompanied by the actor, who plays his wife María José in the series / film, where she comes out holding the actress’s braids.
“Look who I am with, look who I am with, with this wild Indian. – says the Spanish actor “
What most impacted the public about the video is that Cecilia’s reaction is that she only laughs at the comment and leans on her partner’s shoulder to later send a kiss.
After this publication, the comments on social networks began to highlight that they were being racist due to the comment, but the user who stood out the most was @latinamericanah as she was the first to point out the racism emanating from the post.
The user highlighted the issue on Twitter to the point of sharing the video and tagging the Netflix account to ask if they support this type of situation, many people supported her defending her point of view and pointing out that it is not good to make fun of the situation of indigenous women and pointing out what to say “wild india” it is not a compliment.
The controversy continued to escalate to the point where the user @latinamericanah was blocked by the actress and decided to upload a photo again together with Paco, wearing the same braid hairstyle, to Instagram apologizing and opening a respectful dialogue with your audience, and mentions that for her it is a compliment to have Mayan blood from her paternal grandmother and mentions that it was never her intention to offend or hurt.
“Being able to speak or discuss with respect, this or any other issue, is crucial to elevate and transform it. From that place all conversation is welcome. Hug – writes the actress @cecilia_suarez “
Again the user stressed that the apology was not enough and that she was already expecting it with that tone, and because it seemed ill-intentioned being a classic attitude of justification of racism that was made in the original publication.
The… clarification that they published is so ill-intentioned and frankly predictable that here is a detailed analysis of why it is a classic apologist attitude for racism ???????? pic.twitter.com/uBn5ZhjtzE

What surprised the most in social networks was that the journalist Lydia cacho decided to comment on the actress’s post and celebrate Cecilia Suárez’s statement about the original comment that was considered racist, and invited her to celebrate indigenous origins, the tweeter also shared discontent about this attitude on social networks.
Users continue to denounce racism despite the celebration of indigenous roots because the problem that communities are currently experiencing is not being considered. So far, actor Paco León and director Manolo Caro have not given a statement about those who speak of his racist comment.
