Sacha Baron Cohen To Probably Annoy Cindy As Latino Lawyer

Sacha Baron Cohen has now spent enough time in Hollywood to develop some ironic racist jokes about this continent’s darker people. He’s slated to produce and possibly star in a new film about a Latino ambulance chaser in an upcoming project acquired by Fox Atomic entitled, “Accidentes.” According to Variety the character goes from opportunist to immigrant advocate by the end of the film, but with the same writer on board who helped pen Borat, there will most likely also be tons of stereotypical depictions that totally aren’t racist unless you’re completely square. [Ed: And hopefully, two men naked wrestling!] Blogger and filmmaker Jim Mendiola over at Ken Burns Hates Mexicans weighs in:

The question remains, though, will it be Speedy Gonzales type caricature or an insightful analysis of the complex immigration issue. My guess is a little of both.

Yes, and then we’ll all laugh along for fear that we otherwise might look old.
