First and foremost, out of all of Shondaland’s Latinx characters, let’s give credit to the character that started it all: Callie Torres. Significantly, Callie was the first Shondaland Latinx character to appear as a lead actress in Shonda’s crown jewel, Grey’s Anatomy. Not only that, but Callie was also groundbreaking in that she portrayed a queer woman of color in the early 2000s. After marrying George in season three, Callie went on to start a fan-favorite relationship with Dr. Arizona Robbins. She is arguably the best of Shondaland’s Latinx characters, and definitely the most iconic.
