Wilmer Valderrama Declared A Role Model for Hispanic Youth, Hispanic Youth Screwed
25 June 2007, 2:47 PM. By Carlos Posas
Fans of typecast actor and overrated TV producer Wilmer Valderrama gushed today over news that he’s been awarded with a plaque calling him a role model for Hispanic youth. Best known for his role as That ’70s Show’s semi-retarded foreign exchange student Fez, the Miami-born star of Colombian and Venezuelan background attended last week’s 10th Annual National Hispanic Heritage Youth Awards Ceremony to collect the foundation’s inaugural Inspira Award. (The HHF’s credibility plummeted the moment he was named.) The eight National Youth Awardees who are supposed to look up to Valderrama received educational grants, new laptops, and a trip to D.C. We’re sure after busting their humps to do well in school and land admission at a solid college, the kids appreciated being asked to admire the man responsible for MTV’s Yo Momma.

Wow, I can see how Jesica Alba doesn’t want to be latina anymore. Who wants to be lumped with a semi-literate, clueless retard character from a washed-up sitcom? You call that a role model? HHF deserves to be shut down.
HHWho? I thought the positivity-laced P.C. nineties were over. Role models? Do people still talk (or care) about these things? We can’t always be thought of as hoods and half-wits to make us think we need role models, no?
An adage from a “particular cook”:http://www.ipass.net/jthrush/jello2.jpg came to mind when I read this post: ‘No Mandela, Havel, or Subcomandante Ski Mask riding in on a white horse and everybody else just wanting to follow them to the promised land.’
