I was surprised by the amount of vitriol directed towards Mexicans in The News. I understand that they like to maintain a non-PC image and jibes about Americans, Germans, Japanese, Liverpudlians, Spanish, Aussies etc... are enjoyed by most and reinforce this. Last night, though, it seemed like there was a bit more going on than just poking fun. It also shocked me because the stereotypes that they were using were tired American ones that I guess I was surprised to hear from Johnny Foreigner.
... and it should be pointed out that the "Mexican" food they referred to is almost undoubtedly American.
Either that or my Southern-Californian white guilt is playing up again.
