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?
