>>212017233 (OP)1. Because she's a Boriqua/Dominican black latina, not a hood rat "African-American" Shaniqua.
2. Unironically probably her personality. If people keep calling her to huge projects, that have budgets in the hundreds of millions of dollars, then she must be chill enough to work with, meaning that she's not a drama-queen risk. She's a good actress, but not a generational talent, and yet, she keeps getting the call.
3. Semi-ironically, she's married to a white man. This shows any potential employer that she has a good head on her shoulders and makes wise life decisions.
