She plays the loud, sexy, temperamental Colombian wife with the tight tops and high heels on ABC's top-rated sitcom "Modern Family. She's in ads for Diet Pepsi and Cover Girl cosmetics and has a clothing line at Kmart. Is the actress and businesswoman a role model for Latinas, or is she presenting a negative stereotype? Feelings are mixed. 53 percent of online voters in a Latina Magazine poll said they thought Vergara intentionally exaggerated her Spanish accent, calling it "super-annoying."
Alex Nogales, of the National Hispanic Media Coalition in Los Angeles said, "Some Latinas do not think of her highly because of the role that she plays. She is not like that. She is a very smart businesswoman.. It's almost like she has been typecast as this Latinesque punchline.”
Sofia Vergara told Associated Press that she doesn't mind being stereotyped in Hollywood. "I love that some networks now are trying to look for more Latina actresses, because it's so amazing how the American public has accepted Gloria and her accent and all her Latin-ness, so it is great. It is the reality. I am a Latin woman. I'm voluptuous, I'm loud, I'm exactly what a Latin woman is.''
