I remember hearing the casting calls on the radio for local extras during the filming of Titanic, their main requirement was for them to have european features.
@Juankis - Scandalous! the nerve of that casting agency!
Wait, no, let’s see, it’s a movie depicting a transatlantic voyage from England to the United States in 1912. Hmmm, what sort of passengers might be on that voyage?
I’ve seen Latinos in disaster movies. Unfortunately, their character is a cleaning person and they’re cleaning and listening to music; oblivious the the disaster.
For example, take a look at “Day After Tomorrow” in the tornadoes in LA scene.

Because they know enough to get the hell out when a disaster strikes, unless they’re caught in it, and then come back afterward.

I would bet there were a few Spanish nobility. As for steerage, you’d have to check the records.

The Titanic didn’t need Latinos. They had the Irish.
