On Modern Family and Glee, the Latino characters are cut off from their culture. On the former, there?s a discomfiting sense that the white Pritchett family rescued the Delgados from poverty (if we believe Gloria?s tales of her early life in Colombia) and bad parenting. (When Manny?s biological father, Javier, comes to visit, Jay always has to step in to save his stepson from disappointment.) The one time someone from Santana?s birth family appeared on Glee, it was a total downer: Her abuela broke her heart by kicking her out of the house after she came out. Wizards of Waverly Place sometimes explored Mexican traditions in a bicultural Italian-Mexican family?Alex celebrated her quincea?era, for example?but the kids? more splashy heritage (as wizards, natch) tended to dominate. At least on Rob, the focus is on Mexican-American culture.
