What about this guy aka Machete in Grind House.

I think it's the way latinos/hispanics protray themselves. George Lopez is hilarious but he builds up the stereotypes to unimaginable heights. Some stuff is funny and true, but it's more relevant to when my mom was growing up not now, but I know some can relate.

Yeah forgot about that guy, he's in A LOT of movies. And I don't think it's the way that latinos/hispanics portray themselves, but more along the lines of how they're allowed to portray themselves, and how they're expected to portay themselves. You gotta remember who's running the show and who's calling the shots when it comes to big movies and shit like that...
