Meanwhile, Perez was taken aback by Tyson’s question. She responded saying, “My goal? Nobody has ever asked me that.”

Further, she added, “My goal is to strive for excellence. I mean, I’ll never be perfect, but I can at least strive for excellence. And, my goal is just to keep doing good work. But also to keep opening new doors because they treat you know latinos like crap.”

Additionally, she mentioned how the Latin American community is treated by Hollywood. In fact, Perez also revealed she had to refuse roles because of how the characters were portrayed.
