Racist S*** People Say About Latinos in Movies (VIDEO)

By Lee Hernandez | 04/04/2013 - 12:13 | 0 Comments

At Latina, we love nothing more than when movies—especially popular ones!—make references to Latinos and, or Latino culture in the United States. Why? Because it is yet another example of the fact that Latinos have arrived and that we're very much a part of the mainstream media.

Easy A (2010)

We're big fans of this Emma Stone comedy which pays homage to some of the greatest teen movies of all time (and we love the irreverence and general badassness of the main character Olive Penderghast). But there's one scene (and one movie line) in Easy A that kind-a, sort-a rubs us the wrong way. While accepting money from a fellow classmate to pretend she "fake rocked his world," the male student tells Olive (Stone) that all he can afford for payment is a coupon, to which Olive replies: "How's that my problem, amigo?" She adds: “I knew he wasn’t Latino, but for some reason all of these shady backdoor deals had me talking like Carlito.” Then, as if that weren't bad enough, she sends him off by saying:”Beat it, ese.” Umm, really?

And as far as my camp, hip-hop don't condone that, the streets don't condone that, nobody condones that."

Like most boys his age, Roday had originally wanted to play sports until he realized that wouldn’t happen. "It was about the time that I discovered that my predominantly Mexican heritage was going to keep me from sprouting much taller than 5'9 and all my athletic dreams came to a bitter, glass shattering end.
