Stephanie Beatriz who plays Rosa on Brooklyn 99 talks about this. She was auditioning and heard Melissa Fumero got the role for Amy. Stephanie said she was happy and sad because she knew that there was no way they would put two latina women on the show.
I love both of their characters so much. Rosa I especially like because I don’t think I’ve seen a character like her in that way (not saying there isn’t just that I haven’t seen it) but also the affect that Stephanie puts on to play her is amazing.

I’m so glad they put both.

I was disappointed and my dreams of romance (ha!) were shattered when I heard Stephanie’s real voice.
