Matthew,
I truly enjoyed reading your post. I strongly agree with everything you said, and I think that it is great that you used specific examples such as Donald Trump’s speech, and South Park’s character as a comparison to Los Vendidos. What I liked the most is your suggestion that in contemporary situation it is important to understand why Mexicans are escaping from their country, and what it is like to be a Mexican-American before we rely on all the stereotypes. It is important to remember that because today, many people unconsciously discriminate, just because they are born in the environment where the inequity is considered normal.
