Rosario Dawson Is a "Nerdy" Latina

In light of our current class discussion about comics and graphic novels, I was recently interested to find that the actress Rosario Dawson, who is part Cuban and Puerto Rican, is a huge fan of comics and even created a comic book miniseries called "Occult Crimes Taskforce" (which is also going to be turned into a movie next year). Dawson is also apparently a Trekkie who speaks some Klingon. I think this is interesting, because Latinos (and especially Latinas) are not usually thought of as having so-called "nerdy" interests. For instance, Junot Díaz's new book The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao is considered groundbreaking because of its portrayal of a Dominican-American "geek."
