A Day Without a Mexican, is it racist or not? Options

[*NatiMarie*]

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.

It is stereotypical, because they are assuming first that all hispanics are mexicans, and second that they all hvae medicore jobs.But it could also be a good movie because it shows how if you take out one part of a community, the entire community falls apart

She pretty much said it all. This actually sounds like something I would watch, hopefully it will be a film which it leaves you thinking.

Hehe, Fake Spanish. I speak it all the time, it annoys my mother. That and Spanglish which is English and spanish in a mix. Yes those stereotypes annoy me to no end, but it's often fun to poke fun at them.

Si si, us latinos get no respect from the americanos, man...
