Latin@s on Obama’s Infomercial

So, white folks, black folks and Latin@s all made it onto Obama’s infomerical last night. Overall, I thought it was interesting and I especially appreciated how in depth Obama was willing to go into the lives of people who are struggling with this messed up economy. I did have a small nitpick, however, with how The Latinos were represented or “dealt with.”

Here’s a clip:

Compare this to how the white families were treated or the black family. It sorta seems like the Latino family got schooled, huh? Like rather than a three point program on how Obama will help us negotiate these tough times, the solution for Latinos is to get our asses up at 4:30 in the morning with our kids and teach them what ‘real’ Americans are.

But perhaps this is simply my very cynical-wanting-the-election-to-be-over opinion. What did you think of the video?

At least Hispanics/Latinos made the cut. Where were the Asians?

really great point, uglyblackjohn. it seems like asians are the trouble making black sheep of the POC family and must be hidden away until the company leaves. geez.
