    Police Brutality: The Case Of Julio Valerio

    In order to defend police brutality, the police create a narrative that paints Latinos as criminals. From bandidos to gang members, Latinos have been labeled as criminals in the eyes of the law. In the case of Julio Valerio, the police and the media worked together to craft a story that Julio was a violent gang member. Both groups made sure to emphasis that Julio had a history of drug abuse and issues with the law. Even as the Latino community began to rally up against this racism, they get accused of endorsing gang activity in their communities.…

    Anti-Immigration Policy In Lawrence Downes It's Not Just About The Tacos

    In a recent New York Times article, It’s Not Just About the Tacos, author Lawrence Downes aims to expose the roots of anti-immigration policy that has been a huge focus of the 2016 presidential campaign. It is no secret that Donald Trump has developed a zero-tolerance policy for undocumented migration into the United States, going as far as proposing the “building of a wall” to prevent the influx of our neighbors to the south. Trump’s relentless immigrant-expulsion plan has sparked great controversy all across the nation, particularly in hispanic cultural centers such Phoenix, Arizona. Downes’ article highlights the so-called “Taco Wars” of the 1990’s. Downes conducted a series of interviews with Salvador Reza, providing us with a primary…

    Carlos Salinas De Gortari: An Analysis

    A very familiar theme continues to hover over Mexico specifically when it refers to the economic woes the political system continues to mismanage. Politicians that simply run for office to help themselves, while screwing the Mexican over time and time again. It is a behavior that has been in place since the Spanish conquistadors took over, by introducing new policies that benefited the white European while physically, morally, economically, and culturally destroying all social progress for the indigenous Mexican. Mexico has always been rich in natural resources, landmarks and culture, but it has always struggled to maintain an economic system where... and once more Mexico found oil, one of its richest sources that could potentially gear…

    Artifice In Empire Of Illusion By Chris Hedges

    In “Empire of Illusion” by Chris Hedges, Hedges states that “the most essential skill...is artifice.” The dictionary definition of artifice can be paraphrased as using tricks to deceive others, someone who is clever or cunning; though I wouldn’t use clever as a description of someone who is artifice. From personal experience, being artifice is not something that can help you, matter of a fact, it can kill. Many use artifice to use others to their own benefits, even if it means turning an entire population against another.…

    Essay On Latino Americans

    The United Stated of America is the most ethnically diverse nation in the world. We have experienced advances in technology, economic prosperity, and acceptance of others. However, these advances, acceptance, and prosperity are not evenly shared across society, as demonstrated by entire sections of American communities becoming marginalized. A central facet of this marginalization is the unequal treatment of Hispanics/Latinos which becomes apparent within the entirety of the American criminal justice system. Racial and ethnic biases are and have been evident within the Unites States court system, the criminal justice system and those charged with public safety.…

    Lemon Grove Incident Analysis

    The author Charles Ramirez-Berg in the book Latino Images, he discuses the negative images that are stereotyped against Latinos. Berg argues that the image of a bandido is often perceived as a lazy, violent, criminal, Mexican person (Berg 2002). He further argues that the image of a Mexican bandido has remained in American media through different shapes and forms; the contemporary bandido is now a criminal portrayed through drug dealers or gangsters (Berg 2002). Berg argues that the reason behind this negative stereotyping of Latinos is the underrepresentation of Latinos in the media. Furthermore, the concept of negative stereotyping is seen in the Lemon Grove Incident, when the school board member of Lemon Grove argue that the Mexican school is needed because of the lack of hygiene Mexican children have.…
