So okay, new movie coming out about well what the title says...so is it racist or not?
Here's a Summary from Yahoo: One morning, California wakes up to find that one third of its population has disappeared. A strange thick pink fog surrouncs the state and communication outside its boundaries is completely cut off. As the day goes by, we discover that the characteristic that links the 14 million disappeared is their Hispanic background. The economic, political and social implications of this disaster threaten the state's way of life. Suddenly disrupted are the lives of Mary Jo Quintana (Maureen Flannigan), teacher and housewife; Senator Abercrombie (John Getz), hastily promoted to Govenror; Louise McClaire (Muse Watson), ranch owner and agribusiness rep; and Lila Rodriguez (Yareli Arizmendi), reporter and apparently the only Latina left behind. For all of them, the cracks in their private lives are forced wide open. As time goes by, the State continues to deteriorate - garbage has taken over the streets and a mood of desperation pervades as the citizens watch the infrastructure start to crumble. |

I just wanted to put up something that I thought was extremely hilarious!
![]() Are You a True Mexican? If you can run and play any sport while wearing chanclas....Mexican status!! If your late tio left you a van and you turned it into a taco vending business, Yes, you're a Mexican If you have ever hurt yourself and your mamacita rubbed the area while chanting, "Sana, Sana, Colita de rana....." You're Mexican, big time!!! If you have your last name in old English lettering anywhere on your car, truck, or tattooed on your back. Yes, you ARE a Mexican (proud one too). If you refer to your wife as your ruca, your wifey, your hyna, your wifa, your old lady, or your vieja, guess what? You're a Mexican. If you throw a "Grito" every time you hear Vicente Fernandez, then not only are you a Mexican, but you are a drunk Mexican. If you have ever been pinched in church and been told "pobrecito de ti si lloras" or "Vas a ver orita que salgamos." Yes, you're definitely a Mexican. If you grew up scared of someone called La Llorona, or fear the dark because of El CuCuy! Yes! Mexican! Si te persinas with a lotto ticket in your hand before every drawing, You're in the Mexican Zone!!! If you ask for something by "dame esa chingadera" instead of calling it by its name. Yup! Mexican! If you constantly refer to cereal as "con fleys," pizza as "pixxa" or cake as "kay ke". You're a Mexican. If you use manteca instead of vegetable oil and can't figure out why your butt is getting bigger......You might be a Mexican. If you have some tias that dress up in their prom dresses to go to a birthday party at "el parque". You are a Mexican. If your tias and abuela dress up in their Sunday best with heels and all to go to the "pulga." (AKA the Flea Market) Then, yes, you are a Mexican. If most of the houses on your block are painted bright pink, mint green, and purple. Mexican. If you use the bushes in front of your house, the fence, or the top of an old car to dry laundry. Yes, you're a Mexican. If you're congested and your mamasita rubbed "Bicks" into your nostrils and gives you "jugo de sebolla" with sugar, (grandma's recipe) to help relieve your symptoms, You're Mexican. If people in your barrio have chickens running around in the front yard, hardcore Mexican! IF YOU DON'T NEED ANY EXPLANATIONS FOR ANY OF THE ABOVE, YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE A TRUE MEXICAN. VIVA LA RAZA!!! |
