Since no Latinos are doing it, Robert Redford has decided it is up to him to put beaners in artsy movies that white people love to watch and tell their friends about.

Actor Robert Redford is partnering the state of New Mexico to produce “Sundance in New Mexico,” a hands-on filmmaking program that will work with and train aspiring Hispanic and Native American filmmakers.

The program will stem from Redford’s Sundance Institute, which produces such events as the Sundance Film Festival, and work in collaboration with New Mexico’s film office. The program will cost the state an estimated $80,000 annually, yet Redford hopes that Sundance in New Mexico will work to stimulate outside interests and boost the state’s economy.

According to Hispanic Business, this all happened because apparently unlike other whites, his family was unable to move out of East L.A.

The actor said he fell in love with the southwestern state after filming “The Milagro Beanfield War” in 1988 and gained his appreciation for Hispanic culture after growing up living in one of the few Caucasian houses in a predominantly Latino, blue-collar neighborhood in Los Angeles.

He didn’t specify how many Latinos Robert Downey Jr. would be portraying.
