Descent ALONE, should not be the only factor, but also PROFICIENCY in the native accent and language. Sena has proclaimed herself that she doesn't even speak any Hispanic language.
Though honestly, I agree that I don't think it was "racist" to cast her in the role, I just think she was grossly miscast, an action that should be blamed on the voice director and not herself. In fact, I think no one would be complaining as much if she didn't voice the character with the most speaking lines in the entire expansion.
Imagine if, for example, they had Sena voice Mablu, Shale, or either of the Oblivion twins instead (only using these for an example) I think this thread would just not exist.
It's subjective though. I haven't read any reason why her voice acting wasn't good. Is it the accent or what? If an english cast character doesn't have an european "accent" should they be considered a bad voice actor/actress?
