Most people know that I’m not one to shy away from taking a controversial position and that I stick to my points of view firmly in spite of criticism, pero por favor at least get it correct. Recently, another Latino blogger pointed fingers at me, saying I was advocating bootlegging.I do not advocate bootlegging or any other sort of “illegal” activity. If one were to go back and read my posts regarding Mel Gibson’s Apocolypto, one will see that I was reporting on a phenomenon happening in Mexico where the film was available super cheap on the streets before even hitting the screens there, which is ironic on a number of levels. Second, what I did say is that I would be more inclined to give my hard earned cash to an immigrant on the street here in NYC than to Mel Gibson and Hollywood studios for producing what I still consider to be a racist production (because I don’t need someone, for example, to call me a spic to know racism when I see it).
Oh and, by the way, VivirLatino doesn’t need to write anything specific to get into Google News, we’re an official source.
VivirLatino is a daily publication published by Mamita Mala Media, dedicated to featuring all the latest politics, culture, entertainment of interest to the diverse Latin@ diaspora.
