Thinking about Latino stereotypes in the media what immediately comes to mind are the domestic workers. Every maid in a household is Latino and overweight while the gardeners are named Jose and have a moustache. They usually have a strong accent and speak broken English.
After viewing this week’s material, I am confirmed on my view of stereotypes in the media as all the sources presented included the domestic worker. Other stereotypes I have seen in the media after viewing this week’s material are the Harlot. The website Brown Face describes her as, “Lusty and hot-tempered; a slave to her passions”. I think this one may have arisen after the Latino style of dance, as it usually shows off the females. The Cosmopolitan does mention as one point
