Comedian Cristela Alonzo was among those decrying the omission -- and the lack of a Latino male cast member to play him. "The erasure of Julian Castro on SNL last night and the constant confusion of the twins in news shows us the true problem of representation," she tweeted Sunday morning. "SNL refuses to admit brown people exist and the news media is supposed to report FACTS yet can’t make sure the correct twin is covered." Meanwhile, Castro's brother, U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro, offered to play Julián on SNL.
