To be so cruel and insensitive to ANY human, regardless of their race, is disgusting.

“we must work twice as hard to demand the best from the people who represent us”

Exactly! Bravo, Guanabee.

Pandering to the lowest common denomniator only disrespects stupid people. Guanabee is keeping it real, welcome to the future ya’ll.

@latin_princess
my bad…
to hex the evil of jessica simpson, burn your pink cowgirl stuff, and beat down a guera at your HEB, kiss a moreno or TO and maybe the Giants will suck.

Who has been to Mi Tienda, talk about the pozole, yummy for dayz….

For all the Carlos Mencia lovers….i dont care if claims he is latin and he is only a little, the fact he steals other peoples jokes and claims that is his own by remixing them, should all be lineup and shot. Gabriel Iglesias FTW

I agree completely. When you don’t have a sense of humor about yourself, then you don’t really have a sense of humor. If your sense of humor about anything even remorely related to Latinos is comprised *solely* of supposedly “pointing out racism” and “poking fun at American culture”, then you are just a bore. Those things can be funny, but if that’s the only permissible context that you have in order to laugh at yourself, then all you are doing is pointing and laughing at other people.

And if your community can’t keep itself in check by pointing out it’s less-than-illustrious members, then it is implicity saying that they are okay with those people’s actions. So, no, Rebecca Reyes, you should not expect the media from your own community to treat you with kid gloves. They should be the first to point out that you were acting irrationally and all crazy-like.

@ latinogamer: Luis’s too busy casting non Mexicans to play Mexicans in his films.

@ latinogamer. First off kudos for the Luis Valdez name drop. I’m impressed.

If there is any hope, Luis is out there in the fields, where he started agitating and insinuating a sense of righteousness over las piscas. Not that I’m implying that all Mexicans should be in the fields..well, no.. wait. chin! never mind.

Till then, we all remain in a Cafe Au Lait Minstrel Show.

I believe this train of thought of wanting unidad en la comunidad latina comes from the fact that in reality, in the real world outside and not the media circus we read about and comment on, we don’t have unidad. Here in Oakland, there is still so much separation if you are from the motherland or not, from centro america o sur america. Border Brothers vs. Nortenos vs. Surenos. It may sound cliche but it is still a reality for many.

@ latinogamer:
Ok. Let’s try this again… It was me, Latin_Princess, that posted the commnets about Jessica Simpson, not La Cindy.

I do agree with you about Tony Romo. He is yet another Latino (or half) that has made really some poor choices. Who goes on a vacation right before the playoffs??? That was not a smart choice. And just because he and I both have a Mexican grandma does not mean I’ll forgive that bad choice.

Where is Luis Valdez to insert a random quote on media and entertainment pushing latin charactatures on latinos and non latinos…not all cubans look like al pacino in a white suit or daddy yankee, pitbull and countless of thers…oh Luis where are thou?
