A Latino in USA

Have you ever noticed in movies that servant, laborer, gardener are Latino? Can you name me two films where the judge, doctor, lawyer is Latino? Clearly we see "gringos" blond and blue eyes being the center of attention, but never miss the squat brown, which takes little account, or just not good looking enough.

The American people have a mixture of positive and negative thoughts of Latinos but practically they based on stereotypes rather than reality and depend largely on what media non-Latinos are inform or entertain.

The media frequently generate a negative view of Latinos and immigrants. And several of these prejudices about the largest minority group in the United States are reflected in the characters represented in television or film.

Generally are the conservative media, considered anti-immigrant and anti-Latino, who continue pigeonholing into certain roles to the Latino community. For example, repeatedly on conservative radio speeches identifies Latino ethnic Americans as “the others". Also, there are more radical statements, which dehumanize Latinos comparing them with cockroaches and transmitting the idea that are the “American slag”; it creates methodologies to generate their listeners respond with rejection against these communities.

The image that many Americans have about Latinos and immigrants is that they are people who have too many children, who hoard many of the jobs available, who refuses to learn English, or who are money recipients of government welfare, also that the most part of Latinos are undocumented, in other words,  they entered USA illegally. The way Americans perceive is strongly related beliefs they have about the potential impact of immigration. Usually citizens assume that Latino immigrants have a negative impact on employment and educational status or the security of the population.

Stereotypes are born largely of ignorance. These are the result of fear of everything that is unknown. These thoughts generate intolerance. It is difficult to pigeonhole a group, give identity, Is it possible even to speak of identity in a globalized world?
